YEVAMOS 57-58 (13-14 Tamuz) - Dedicated by Andy & Nancy Neff in honor of the completion of thirty days since the passing of Leah Miriam bat Yisroel (Lucy) Rabin. Beloved mother of Nancy Neff, Valerie, Doug and Andy Rabin, and wife of Sidney Rabin, Lucy Rabin was Nifteres this past 14th of Sivan.

1)
(a) To establish Rebbi Elazar Amar Rebbi Oshaya (who permits the wife of a Kohen Petzu'a Daka to eat Terumah according to Rebbi Elazar and Rebbi Shimon), Abaye says 'Ho'il u'Ma'achilah b'Lo Yad'ah'. What does this mean? What is the case?
(b) How does Rava resolve Rebbi Elazar Amar Rebbi Oshaya?
(c) Why does ...
1. ... Abaye not learn like Rava?
2. ... Rava not learn like Abaye?
(d) Abaye proves that the fact that she has already eaten makes no difference, from a bas Yisrael who was married to a Kohen, who is not permitted to eat Terumah after his death, because she already ate in his lifetime. On what grounds does Rava refute this proof?

2)
(a) When Rebbi Yochanan asked Rebbi Oshaya whether a Petzu'a Daka Kohen may feed his wife who is a bas Geirim Terumah, he did not answer. How did Rebbi Yehudah Nesi'ah query him, when, immediately after that, Resh Lakish asked him a She'eilah which he did answer?
(b) What was then the real reason for Rebbi Oshaya's silence?
(c) Assuming that a Petzu'a Daka Kohen retains his Kedushah, why can Rebbi Yochanan's She'eilah not have been according to ...
1. ... Rebbi Yehudah? What does Rebbi Yehudah say regarding the daughter of a male convert?
2. ... Rebbi Yosi? What does he hold?
(d) If, on the other hand, a Petzu'a Daka Kohen does not retain his Kedushah, why can the She'eilah not have been according to ...
1. ... Rebbi Yehudah? What does Rebbi Yehudah say regarding the congregation of converts?
2. ... Rebbi Yosi? What does he hold?

3)
(a) So Rebbi Yochanan's She'eilah can only have been according to Rebbi Eliezer ben Yakov. What does Rebbi Eliezer ben Yakov say (in a Mishnah in Bikurim)?
(b) What is then Rebbi Yochanan's She'eilah? What are the two possible ways of explaining the advantage of the fact that her mother was a bas Yisrael?
(c) We ultimately resolve Rebbi Yochanan's She'eilah from a Beraisa quoted by Rav Acha bar Chinena mi'Daroma, which specifically permits a Petzu'a Daka to feed his wife who is a bas Geirim, Terumah. From which Pasuk in Emor does the Tana learn it?
(d) How do we know that the author of the Beraisa is not Rebbi Yehudah or Rebbi Yosi?

1. ... a Yavam who performs Bi'ah with a three-year-old Yevamah?

(b) What does the Tana mean when he adds ...

2. ... 'le'Tamei Mishkav Tachton k'Elyon'?
(c) Is a bas Yisrael of three who marries a Kohen permitted to eat Terumah?
(d) The Mishnah finally forbids a bas Kohen to eat Terumah in her father's house if she is raped by one of the Pesulim. Which four Pesulim is the Tana referring to?
