(a) We already cited Rava, who requires the Mezuzah to be placed on the Tefach closest to the street. According to the Rabbanan, this is in order to see the Mezuzah as soon as one arrives home. What does Rav Chanina from Sura say?
(b) How does Rebbi Chanina describe the difference between a human king and Hash-m?
(c) Which Pasuk does he quote to support this?

(a) How deep inside the door-post does Rav Yosef b'rei de'Rava permit the Mezuzah to be?
(b) What does the Beraisa say about someone who places a Mezuzah deep inside the door-post, or who fixes the Mezuzah in a cavity in the door-post, and then places a brick in front of it (to fill in the cavity)?
(c) In order to reject the proof for Rava from there, we establish the Beraisa by 'Pesach she'Achorei ha'Deles'? What does this mean?
(d) It might also refer to the two entrances of a wealthy man's house. What does this mean?
click for answer
(a) On what grounds do we query this explanation, based on the continuation of the Beraisa?
(b) How do we resolve this problem?
(c) What does the Beraisa say about placing a Mezuzah on a door-post that consists of a bunch of canes?
(d) What does Rav Acha b'rei de'Rava require the owner to do to ensure that it is not Pasul? Why might it be Pasul?
click for answer
(a) Rava exempts Pischi Shima'i from a Mezuzah. Rav Richumi and Aba Yossi argue over what this means. One says that it means 'de'Leis l'hu Tikra'; the other, 'de'Leis l'hu Sh'kufi '. If the former means that there is no lintel, then what does the latter mean?
(b) If, on the other hand, the latter means that there is no lintel, then what will the former mean?
(c) What is an Achsadra?
(d) What problem do we have with Rabah bar Shiloh Amar Rav Chisda, who exempts an Achsadra from a Mezuzah because its entrance has no door-post?
click for answer
(a) So how do we amend Rav Chisda's statement?
(b) Abaye claimed that the Ispelida de'bei Mar had no Mezuzah. What did he mean by 'Ispelida de'bei Mar'?
(c) The Beraisa obligates fixing a Mezuzah on a Beis-Sha'ar, Achsadra and Mirpeset. What is a Beis Sha'ar?
(d) On what grounds do we reject the suggestion that the Tana is referring to 'Achsadra de'bei Rav'? What is'Achsadra de'bei Rav'?
(e) So we establish the Beraisa by an Achsadra Rumisa. What is an 'Achsadra Rumisa'?

(a) Rachbah Amar Rav Yehudah requires two Mezuzos for bei Harziki. How does Rav Papa Saba in the name of Rav explain 'bei Harziki'?
(b) What is Rav Yehudah coming to teach us? What might we otherwise have thought?
(c) Rebbi Yossi in a Beraisa rules that if a Beis Sha'ar opens into a garden on one side and a Kitonis (a sun-porch) on the other, it has the Din of a Kitonis. What do the Chachamim say?
(d) What are the ramifications of this Machlokes?
click for answer
(a) Rav and Shmuel qualify the Machlokes, confining it to the entrance from a house to a garden. What do they say regarding the entrance from a garden to a house?
(b) They might be referring literally to the door that leads from the garden to the Beis-Sha'ar. What does 'mi'Bayis le'Ginah' then mean? Why is it described in this way?
(c) What else might 'mi'Ginah le'Bayis' and 'mi'Bayis le'Ginah' respectively, mean?
click for answer
(a) Alternatively, Rav and Shmuel are talking about Heker Tzir (which we discussed on the previous Amud). If both Tana'im agree that regarding the door leading from the garden to the Beis-Sha'ar, we go after 'Heker Tzir', to require a Mezuzah if the hinge is on the side of the Beis-Sha'ar, what is their Machlokes regarding the door leading from the Kitonis to the Beis-Sha'ar, if the Heker Tzir is on the side of the garden?
(b) If Heker Tzir determines whether a door between a man's room and a woman's room, why does Rebbi Yossi not go after Heker Tzir in this case?
(c) Rabah and Rav Yosef argue with Rav and Shmuel. How do they qualify the Machlokes?
(d) If, in their opinion, 'mi'Bayis le'Ginah' is unanimously Patur because it is first and foremost, the entry-point to the garden, what is the basis of the Machlokes regarding the door leading from the Kitonis to the Beis-Sha'ar?
(e) Abaye and Rava rule like Rabah and Rav Yosef. What does Rav Ashi hold?
