(a) In light of the fact that a Yavam who performs Yibum with a Chayavei Lavin, does not acquire her, and her Tzarah is not free to marry l'Shuk, how does Rava explain the Beraisa 'Isur Mitzvah v'Isur Kedushah Ba Alehah O Chalatz Lah, Nifterah Tzarasah'?
(b) What does the Beraisa say with regard to a Petzu'a Daka, a Kerus Shafchah or a Seris Chamah (all of whom are forbidden with a Lav to marry a bas Yisrael) that refutes the current theory (that Chayavei Lavin cannot perform Yibum mid'Oraisa from "Yevimto")?

(a) What does the Tana of the above Beraisa mean when he says with regard to Chayavei Lavin 'O Choltzin O Meyabmin'?
(b) Why does the Tana include a Zaken in the list? Is he also among the Chayavei Lavin?
(c) The Tana also adds that Ma'amar, a Get and Chalitzah are all effective. In what way is a Get effective on a Yevamah? Does it allow her to marry l'Shuk?
(d) Is a Yavam permitted to remain with the Yevamah, if he performs Yibum ...
1. ... with a Chayavei Lavin?
2. ... when he is a Zaken?

(a) We now see from the Beraisa that Chayavei Lavin are also subject to Yibum min ha'Torah. According to Rava's initial explanation, Chayavei Lavin may perform Yibum, and Almanah l'Kohen Gadol is different, because there is also an Aseh. Which Aseh?
(b) Why can we not preclude Mamzeres and Nesinah from Yibum because they too, are included in the Aseh of "v'Hiskadishtem" in Shemini?

(a) According to Rava's next statement (that Chazal forbade certain cases of Chayavei Lavin because of a decree), why can the following not perform Yibum:
1. ... Almanah min ha'Erusin?
2. ... Mamzeres u'Nesinah?
(b) According to that, why do we not decree ...
1. ... the wife of his paternal brother on account of his maternal brother?
2. ... a woman who does not have children on account of one who does?
3. ... the wife of a brother who lived at the same time as the Yavam, on account of one who did not?
4. ... all women who can have children on account of an Aylonis?
(c) What discrepancy do we now have between what we just said and the fact that a Mamzeres and Nesinah l'Yisrael cannot perform Yibum?

(a) What reason does Rava finally give for Chayavei Lavin being precluded from Yibum?
(b) What does the Beraisa say that corroborates Rava's statement?

12)
(a) Rava retracts however from this (in spite of the Beraisa), due to a statement made by Resh Lakish (though others ascribe this Kashya to Rav Ashi). Which statement?
(b) What alternative does the Yavam have here (that makes Yibum comparable to Resh Lakish's ruling)?
(c) On what grounds do we refute Rava and Resh Lakish?

13)
(a) Rebbi Yochanan and Rebbi Elazar argue over whether the Yibum performed by a Kohen Gadol on his Yevamah who is an Almanah exempts her Tzarah from Yibum. Which kind of Almanah are they arguing over? What is the basis of their Machlokes?
(b) The Beraisa of 'Im Ba'alu, Kanu' proves that Chayavei Lavin are in fact, subject to Yibum min ha'Torah. Why does it not also prove Resh Lakish (who says that whenever one has the fulfilling the Aseh without negating the Lav, one is obligated to do so) wrong? Why do we not force the Yavam to perform Chalitzah?
