(a)If a betrothed girl who is divorced, becomes betrothed again, who annuls the Nedarim that she declared whilst she was betrothed to the first Arus?

(b)And who annuls them if she became a Bogeres before becoming betrothed the second time, or if it was her husband who divorced her (and not her Arus)?

1)

(a)If a betrothed girl who is divorced, becomes betrothed again - the second Arus in conjunction with her father annuls the Nedarim that she declared whilst she was betrothed to the first Arus (though this is not evident from the Mishnah itself, as we shall see).

(b)If she became a Bogeres before becoming betrothed the second time, or if it was her husband who divorced her (and not her Arus) - those Nedarim can no longer be annulled.

2)

(a)What does Shmuel learn from the Pasuk "v'Im Hayo Siheyeh l'Ish u'Nedarehah Alehah"?

(b)Who asked the Kashya 'Minalan', that prompted Shmuel's answer?

(c)If our Mishnah was speaking in a case when the first Arus was not aware of the Arusah's Nedarim, why would the Tana then need to stress that she was divorced on the same day?

(d)What makes us so certain that Shmuel is not merely finding the source for the Din mentioned by the Tana of our Mishnah?

2)

(a)Shmuel learns from the Pasuk "v'Im Hayo Siheyeh l'Ish u'Nedarehah Alehah" - that the second Arus may even annul the Nedarim that the Arusah declared whilst she was betrothed to the first Arus.

(b)Shmuel himself asked 'Minalan', that prompted his answer.

(c)Even if our Mishnah was speaking in a case when the first Arus was not aware of the Arusah's Nedarim, the Tana would need to stress that she was divorced on the same day - in a case when her father was aware of them.

(d)What makes us so certain that Shmuel is not merely finding the source for the Din mentioned by the Tana of our Mishnah - is the statement 'Tanya Kavasei di'Shmuel', seeing as the Beraisa corroborates Shmuel's statement, not his source.

3)

(a)We suggest that the Pasuk "(u'Nedarehah Alehah") might be confined to Nedarim about which the first Arus had been unaware. Those Nedarim that he knew about however, can only be annulled by her father ('Nisroknah ... '). What is an alternative explanation?

(b)How does Shmuel in fact know to include even Nedarim of which the first Arus was aware, from "Alehah"?

(c)We cite a Beraisa in support of Shmuel. The case in the Reisha is identical to that of Shmuel. What does the Tana Kama of the Beraisa say in the Seifa, where the first Arus heard about the Arusah's Neder, annulled it and then died?

(d)Why does the father need to annul the Arus' part again, seeing as the Arus already annulled it?

3)

(a)We suggest that the Pasuk "(u'Nedarehah Alehah") might be confined to Nedarim about which the first Arus had been unaware. Those Nedarim that he knew about however, can only be annulled by her father ('Nisroknah ... '). The other alternative is - that, since the Arus cannot annul them, the father cannot annul them either.

(b)Shmuel in fact knows to include even Nedarim of which the first Arus was aware, from "Alehah" - because, in his opinion, the word is superfluous, and we Darshen from it 'all Nedarim that are on her' (even those of which the first Arus was aware).

(c)We cite a Beraisa in support of Shmuel. The case in the Reisha is identical to that of Shmuel. The Tana Kama of the Beraisa says in the Seifa, where the first Arus heard about the Arusah's Neder, annulled it and then died - that the father, who did not hear about the Neder before, is now able to annul his own part as well as the part of the Arus.

(d)Despite the fact that the Arus already annulled his part of the Neder, the father needs to annul it again - because when the Arus died, his Hafarah became negated.

4)

(a)What does Rebbi Nasan comment on the previous Beraisa?

(b)Some commentaries say that Beis Hillel only disagrees with the Din in the Seifa, but that he agrees with that of the Reisha (Shmuel's Din). What is the problem with that?

(c)How do we resolve this problem (by drawing a distinction between the earlier case (where there was only one Arus) and our case (where there are two)?

(d)Tosfos however, disagree with those commentaries. According to them, Beis Hillel argue in the Reisha too. What do they hold in the Reisha, where Beis Shamai permit the father to annul his daughter's Nedarim in conjunction with the second Arus?

4)

(a)Rebbi Nasan comments on the previous Beraisa - that the Seifa is the opinion of Beis Shamai, but that, according to Beis Hillel, the father cannot annul the Neder without the participation of the second Arus (concerning the Reisha, we shall now see).

(b)Some commentaries say that Beis Hillel only disagrees with the Din in the Seifa, but that he agrees with that of the Reisha (Shmuel's Din). The problem with that is - how can the father now annul the Neder, seeing as it has been weakened by the earlier Hafarah of the father himself. Why is this any different than the Beraisa that we learned earlier where, when the husband died before he had heard about the Neder, the father is not able to annul the Neder, because, due to his Hafarah, it has become weakened.

(c)We resolve this problem - by drawing a distinction between the earlier case, where the Arus died and the Arusah returned to the sole domain of her father (who cannot take over the weakened Neder from the Arus), and this case, where the second Arus takes over from the first one, and it is as if she has remained in the domain of the Arus.

(d)Tosfos however, disagree with those commentaries. According to them, Beis Hillel argue in the Reisha too. Where Beis Shamai permit the father to annul his daughter's Nedarim in conjunction with the second Arus - they hold that the father cannot annul his daughter's Neder, even in conjunction with the second Arus (since, when the father annulled the Neder, he weakened it, in which case the second Arus cannot 'inherit' it, and the father cannot annul it on his own either). Note: we have explained the entire Sugya like the other commentaries.

5)

(a)The Seifa of the Beraisa refers to when 'Ba'alah' heard the Neder and annulled it before dying. Who is meant by 'Ba'alah'?

5)

(a)The Seifa of the Beraisa refers to when 'Ba'alah' - (i.e. the Arus) heard the Neder and annulled it before dying.

71b----------------------------------------71b

6)

(a)Beis Shamai holds that even Nedarim about which the Arus knew, 'Nisroknah Reshus l'Av'. Why is the Neder not weakened by the fact that the Arus annulled them?

(b)We learned earlier that when the father annulled his daughter's Neder and died, the Arus, who only heard about the Neder after the father's death, cannot annul it ('Lo Nisroknah'). Why does this seemingly clash with Beis Shamai's opinion here?

(c)How do we resolve this problem? What is the difference between the Arus being left with the father's portion to annul, and vice-versa?

(d)What is Beis Hillel's reasoning? What is the basis of their Machlokes?

6)

(a)Beis Shamai holds that even Nedarim about which the Arus knew, 'Nisroknah Reshus l'Av'. The Neder is not weakened by the fact that the Arus annulled them - because, upon his death, his annulment is negated.

(b)We learned earlier that when the father annulled his daughter's Neder and died, the Arus, who only heard about the Neder after the father's death, cannot annul it ('Lo Nisroknah'). This seemingly clashes with Beis Shamai's opinion here - since if the reason there is because, even though 'Av Meigaz Gayaz', his Hafarah was negated with his death (and his part of the Neder remains intact), then why do we not say the same in our case, to prohibit the father from annulling the Neder because of the part of the Arus, which remains intact?

(c)We resolve this problem by re-learning the above case - it is not the father's death negating the Hafarah that prohibits the Arus from annulling the Neder, but because of the principle that an Arus can never annul the Nedarim of the Arusah on his own. In fact, the Hafarah of the father severed his connection with his daughter's Nedarim altogether (irrespective of his death). Consequently, in out case, the Arus' annulment severed his connection with the Nedarim, too, and the father is able to annul the Nedarim on his own (as he does before his daughter becomes betrothed).

(d)Beis Hillel's reasoning - is based on his opinion that the father or the Arus only weaken the Neder (rather than severing their connection with it). Consequently, in our case, when the first Arus annulled the Neder, it remained partially intact, in which case, the second Arus together with the father are able to annul it; Whereas according to Beis Shamai, the second Arus has nothing to do with the Nedarim that the Arusah made whilst she was betrothed to the first Arus.

7)

(a)Why is it necessary to stress according to Beis Shamai, that even those Nedarim that the Arus knew about are annulled by the father, seeing as we already established earlier that everyone agrees with that?

(b)And why do we say that even those Nedarim that the Arus knew about are annulled by the father ... ', as if Nedarim that the Arus did not know about are certainly annulled by the father, when in reality, they are not?

(c)In any event, we see from Beis Hillel that both the father and the second Arus must nullify even those Nedarim about which the first Arus was aware. Is this proof confined to Beis Hillel, or can we also prove it from Beis Shamai, who rules here that the father annuls the Nedarim on his own?

7)

(a)It is necessary to stress according to Beis Shamai, that even those Nedarim that the Arus knew about, end up with the father, in spite of our having established earlier that everyone agrees with that - to teach us that this is so even in this case where there is a second Arus, and we may have thought that he inherits the rights of the first Arus (like Beis Hillel holds).

(b)We say that even those Nedarim that the Arus knew about are annulled by the father ... ', as if Nedarim that the Arus did not about are certainly annulled by the father, even though they are not - because that speaks only when the father annulled the Neder. When he did not, then, when the Arus knew about the Neder, there is more reason to say that the father cannot annul the Nedarim after the Arus' death (even though we are speaking when the father did annul the Nedarim). Or because we are speaking when there is a second Arus, where Nedarim about which the Arus knew is a bigger Chidush.

(c)In any event, we see from Beis Hillel that both the father and the second Arus must nullify even those Nedarim about which the first Arus was aware (like Shmuel). This proof will go even according to Beis Shamai (who rules here that the father annuls the Nedarim on his own), because that is only due to the fact that the father had previously annulled the Nedarim; otherwise, he would agree with Beis Hillel.

(a)The Bnei Yeshiva asked whether, if the Arus divorced the Arusah, it has a Din of Shetikah (silence) or of Hakamah (upholding the Neder). What are the ramifications of the She'eilah?

(b)On what basis might it have the Din of Hakamah, seeing as he did not say anything?

(c)How do we know that the word 'Ba'alah' in this context means Arus and not husband?

(d)Why did they say ...

1. ... 'va'Ahadrah b'Yomei'?

2. ... 'va'Ahadrah ... '? Would it make any difference if a second Arus would betroth her?

8)

(a)The Bnei Yeshiva asked whether, if the Arus divorced the Arusah, it has a Din of Shetikah (silence) - in which case if he were to take her back on the same day, he would still be able to annul her Neder, or of Hakamah (upholding the Neder) - in which case, he would not.

(b)Despite the fact that he did not say anything, it might it have the Din of Hakamah - because, since the Arus knew that after the divorce, he would not be able to annul her Nedarim, it is as if he had upheld them.

(c)The word 'Ba'alah' in this context can only mean Arus. If it meant husband, he would not be able to annul the Nedarim even assuming Gerushin to be like Shetikah, because 'mi'Mah Nafshach'; if he then remarried her, a married man cannot annul Nedarim that were made before the marriage, whereas if he only betrothed her (bearing in mind that when he married her the first time, she left her father's jurisdiction), he would have to annul her Nedarim on his own, something which an Arus cannot do.

(d)They said ...

1. ... 'va'Ahadrah b'Yomei' - because otherwise, it is obvious that he would not be able to annul the Nedarim.

2. ... 'va'Ahadrah ... ' - only because it is more common, but not because it would make any difference if a second Arus would betroth her (seeing as 'Arus Mefer b'Kodmin').
