(a) The author of our Mishnah to date is Beis Hillel. What do Beis Shamai say about ...
1. ... Tzaros Ervah in general?
2. ... a Tzaras Ervah with whom the Yavam performed Chalitzah?
3. ... a Tzaras Ervah with whom the Yavam performed Yibum?
(b) On what grounds do Beis Hillel ...
1. ... permit a Tzaras Ervah with whom the Yavam performed Chalitzah to marry a Kohen?
2. ... forbid a Tzaras Ervah with whom the Yavam performed Yibum to marry a Kohen?
(c) What will Beis Hillel say about the child of a Tzaras Ervah with whom the Yavam performed Yibum?
(d) In that case, why did Beis Hillel not desist from marrying the daughters of Beis Shamai? Why did they not consider the possibility that they were perhaps the children or grandchildren of Tzaros Ervah?

(a) How does Rebbi Shimon ben Pazi, according to Beis Shamai, Beis Shamai, learn from the Pasuk in Ki Setzei "Lo Siheyeh Eishes ha'Mes ha'Chutzah l'Ish Zar" that Tzaras Ervah is permitted? What does "ha'Chutzah" mean?

(a) In fact, we conclude, both Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel learn that Kidushin is not effective on a Yevamah l'Shuk from the last words in the Pasuk "l'Ish Zar". What then, do Beis Hillel learn from "ha'Chutzah"?
(b) Beis Shamai learn this from the 'Hey' in "ha'Chutzah". What do Beis Hillel say about that?
(c) Rava gives the reason of Beis Shamai as 'Ein Isur Chal al Isur'. What does he mean?
(d) Why is the Tzarah permitted even if the brother married the Ervah only after the Yavam had married her sister, in which case the Ervah preceded that of Eishes Achiv?
(e) Why did we initially think otherwise?

(c) What do we learn from the fact that the Torah writes "Lo Sisgodedu", and not ...

(a) Why is Resh Lakish not concerned about the Mishnah in Pesachim, which deals with the custom that some places practice, not to work on Erev Pesach until midday, and some do not?
(b) But how about the Mishnah, which deals with working on the previous night (Leil Bedikas Chametz), where some people follow the opinion of Beis Shamai (who forbid it) and others, that of Beis Hillel (who permit it) - and this is a Halachah, and not a Minhag?
(c) And why is Resh Lakish not concerned about our Mishnah, where Beis Shamai permit Tzaras Ervah, whereas Beis Hillel forbid her?
