Question

YEVAMOS 104 (1 Elul) - dedicated l'Iluy Nishmas Esther Chaya Rayzel (Friedman) bas Gershon Eliezer (Yahrzeit: 30 Av, Yom Kevurah: 1 Elul) by her daughter and son-in-law, Jeri and Eli Turkel of Raanana, Israel. Esther Friedman was a woman of valor who was devoted to her family and gave of herself unstintingly, inspiring all those around her.

1)
(a) In our Mishnah, the Tana Kama validates Chalitzah that is performed at night, but invalidates it if it performed with the left hand. What does Rebbi Elazar say?
(b) What do we learn from the Pasuk (regarding Nega'im) "uv'Yom Hera'os Bo"?
(c) Based on the Pasuk in Shoftim "v'Al Pihem Yiheyeh Kol Riv v'Chol Naga", how do we try and establish the first Machlokes (whether Chalitzah is Kasher by night or not)?
(d) On what basis does Chalitzah belong in the realm of Rivim?

2)
(a) On what grounds do we decline to compare Ribin to Nega'in?
(b) On the presumption that, for other reasons, Techilas Din must be practiced by day, how do we then establish the basis of the dispute between the Tana Kama and Rebbi Elazar?

3)
(a) Rabah bar Chiya Ketuspa'ah single-handedly permitted Chalitzah at night with a soft shoe. To which point did Shmuel object, on the grounds that he was following the opinion of an individual?
(b) Why could his objection not have pertained to the fact that he permitted a soft shoe or that he permitted the Chalitzah to be performed at night?

4)
(a) What does the Tana Kama rule in the next Mishnah, regarding Chalitzah that is performed with two Dayanim, or with three, one of whom is found to be Pasul?
(b) Rebbi Shimon and Rebbi Yochanan ha'Sandlar validate it. What did Rebbi Akiva rule with regard to a certain Yavam and Yevamah who performed Chalitzah in jail?
(c) Alternatively, we argue that all three issues currently under discussion (judging alone, by night and using a cloth shoe) are individual opinions. What is the basis for saying this?

5)
(a) What does the Tana Kama learn from the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Regel" "Regel" from Metzora?
(b) According to our text in the Beraisa, Rebbi Elazar does not learn this 'Gezeirah-Shavah'. From where does he derive that Retzi'ah (the boring of an Eved Ivri's ear who wants to remain after six years) must be done in the right ear?
(c) Rav Yitzchak bar Yosef Amar Rebbi Yochanan therefore assumes that, seeing as Rebbi Elazar learns "Ozen" "Ozen", he will be the one to learn "Regel" "Regel" (and the Tana must have confused the two opinions). How does Rava resolve the contradiction in Rebbi Elazar without emending the text?
(d) Does Rava mean to say that "Regel" is not Mufneh at all?

6)
In order not to learn from a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' that is not Mufneh, there must be a Pircha (a Kashya that renders the one more susceptible to the Derashah than the other). Why might a Metzora be more susceptible to the Din of the right foot than a Yavam?

7)
(a) Will the Chalitzah be Kasher if the Yevamah ...
1. ... pulled off the Yavam's shoe and spat in his direction, but failed to read the Parashah?
2. ... spat in the Yavam's direction and read the Parashah, but failed to pull off his shoe?
(b) If she failed to spit but did perform the other two operations, Rebbi Eliezer invalidates the Chalitzah. What does Rebbi Akiva say?
(c) How does Rebbi Elazar derive his opinion from the Pasuk "Kachah Ye'aseh"?
(d) In his retort, Rebbi Akiva adds the word "Kachah Ye'aseh la'Ish". What does he mean by that?
