Ask A
Question
1)
(a) Rebbi Yochanan (who holds that Beis Shamai actually practiced their opinion, with regard to Tzaras Ervah) concurs with Shmuel. With whom does Resh Lakish (in whose opinion they did not) concur?
(b) If this Machlokes occurred before the Bas Kol was heard, what is the reason of Resh Lakish and Rav? Why should they not have practiced their opinion?
(c) Then what is the reason of Rebbi Yochanan and Shmuel, who say that they did?
(d) If, on the other hand, it occurred after the Bas Kol, we can better understand Resh Lakish and Rav. But what is then the reason of Rebbi Yochanan and Shmuel? Why should Beis Shamai have practiced their opinion, in spite of the Bas Kol?

2)
(a) On what grounds does Rava reject Abaye's contention that there is no problem of Lo Sisgodedu, according to Rebbi Yochanan, because this is a case of two Batei Dinim in two towns?
(b) So how does Rava resolve the problem?
(c) In Rebbi Eliezer's town they would cut wood to produce charcoal to make a knife for performing the Bris Milah on Shabbos. What is Rebbi Eliezer's reason?
(d) In Rebbi Akiva's town this was not done, because Rebbi Akiva holds that any Melachah that can be performed before Shabbos does not override Shabbos. Considering that Rebbi Akiva lived in a different town than Rebbi Eliezer (or was at least on a different Beis-Din), on what basis do we query Rebbi Akiva from the Klal of "Lo Sisgodedu", which we just established does not apply to two Batei-Din even in one town, and certainly not in two towns?

3)
(a) Why did Rebbi Avahu move a lamp that had burned that Shabbos after it went out, in Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi's territory, but not in that of Rebbi Yochanan?
(b) Why was he not worried that his Shamash might not realize the difference, and move a lamp in Rebbi Yochanan's territory?
(c) We learn from a Beraisa that neither did Beis Shamai refrain from marrying Beis Hillel's daughters, nor vice-versa. Even assuming that Beis Shamai practiced their opinion, why is there no problem with ...
1. ... Beis Shamai marrying Beis Hillel's daughters?
2. ... Beis Hillel marrying the daughters of Beis Shamai, considering the possibility of marrying a Mamzeres (according to the Sugya's conclusion)?
(d) Why would Beis Shamai's daughters be Mamzeros according to Beis Hillel?

4)
We refute the suggestion that Beis Hillel hold 'Ein Mamzer Me'Chayavei Kerisus', on the basis of Rebbi Elazar's statement. What does Rebbi Elazar say?

5)
(a) We prove that they must have informed each other, from the Seifa of the Mishnah, where they did not refrain from lending one another their household vessels. Why is the proof only valid from the case of Beis Hillel borrowing Beis Shamai's vessels, and not vice-versa?
(b) Why is it preferable to bring a proof that they informed each other from the case of borrowing each other's vessels, rather than from that of Tzaras Ervah?

14b----------------------------------------14b

6)
(a) We quoted Rebbi Elazar, who says that even though Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel argue over Tzaras Ervah, they agree that 'Ein Mamzer Ela mi'Mi she'Isur Ervah v'Anush Kares'. Why can he not be referring to ...
1. ... Beis Shamai, who concedes to Beis Hillel, according to our initial contention?
2. ... Beis Hillel, who concedes to Beis Shamai?
(b) We conclude that he is referring to Beis Shamai who concedes to Beis Hillel. What then, is the Chidush?

7)
(a) The Beraisa cites various Machlokos of Beis Hillel and Beis Shamai that concern the current issue under discussion: Tzaros, Achyos, Get Yashan, Safek Eishes Ish, ha'Megaresh es Ishto v'Lanah Imo b'Pundeki. What is the case of ...
1. ... Safek Eishes Ish (according to Rashi's first explanation)?
2. ... ha'Megaresh es Ishto v'Lanah Imo b'Pundeki?
(b) What is the basis of the Machlokes between Beis Shamai, who maintain that she does not require a second Get, and Beis Hillel, who say that she does?
click for answer

8)
(a) The final case concerns the amount that is required for Kidushin. What is the minimum amount according to ...
1. ... Beis Shamai?
2. ... Beis Hillel?
(b) What does the Beraisa learn (that we did not see in our Mishnah) from the fact that Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel would marry women from each other's camp in spite of the Machlokes by Tzaros (see Tosfos DH 'Ela')?
(c) With which Pasuk in Zecharyah does this conform?
click for answer

9)
(a) Rebbi Shimon says 'Nimne'u min ha'Vaday v'Lo Nimne'u min ha'Safek'. How do we initially interpret 'Safek'? To which of the above cases does it refer?
(b) We prove from the fact that they refrained from cases of Vaday according to Rebbi Shimon, that they must have practiced their respective opinions. What problem do we nevertheless have with the fact that Beis Shamai refrained from the Vaday of Beis Hillel?
(c) We resolve the problem by citing Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak. How did Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak establish a Beraisa elsewhere, in a way that will answer the Kashya here?

10)
(a) What problem do we have with Rebbi Shimon's statement 'Nimne'u min ha'Vaday v'Lo Nimne'u min ha'Safek'? Why can this not be understood literally?
(b) So how do we emend it?
(c) What is the Beraisa then coming to teach us?
(d) But did the Tana not already teach us that in the Reisha?
click for answer

11)
(a) What problem did Rebbi Yochanan ben Nuri have with the Machlokes between Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel?
(b) What does 'Pagum' mean?
(c) What Takanah did he intend to institute to get round the problem?
(d) So why did he not do so?
