1)
(a) What does the Beraisa rule in a case where Reuven cheated Shimon ...
- ... Pachos mi'Sh'tus?
- ... Sh'tus (according to Rebbi Nasan)?
- ... Yeser al Sh'tus?
(b) What can we extrapolate from here? Which case/s seem to corroborate Rav
Huna (according to the Lashon of Mamon)?
(c) How do we differentiate between Rav Huna and the Beraisa? What makes
that case worse in this regard than that of Rav Huna?
2)
(a) How many infertile trees must Reuven expect, if he hires Shimon to plant
trees in his field?
(b) What does the Beraisa say in a case where eleven out of a hundred trees
turn out to be infertile?
(c) How does Rav Huna B'rei de'Rav Yehoshua refute the proof for Rav Huna
from here, by differentiating between the two cases?
3)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah 'Martef shel Yayin, Mekabel Alav Eser Kos'sos
le'Me'ah'. According to the Beraisa, what would be the Din in this case if
Reuven stipulated 'Martef ...
- ... shel Yayin S'tam'?
- ... Zeh shel Yayin'?
- ... Zeh'?
(b) According to our current understanding of the Beraisa, why is the case
of Yayin S'tam any different than crops and figs, where the purchaser must
expect ten 'bad' ones per hundred?
(c) How will we then reconcile our Mishnah with the Beraisa? Which of the
three cases will we have to amend to accomodate our Mishnah?
4)
(a) Another Beraisa Cited by Rebbi Chiya learns 'ha'Mocher Chavis Yayin
la'Chavero, Nosen Lo Yayin she'Kulo Yafeh' (and not Yayin Koses). In light
of the previous Beraisa, what is the Chidush of this Beraisa?
(b) How do we reconcile this with what we just learned (that by Yayin S'tam,
the purchaser must accepted one in ten Yayin Kos'sos)?
5)
(a) We still have a problem based on a Beraisa of de'Bei Oshaya cited by Rav
Z'vid. The Tana there reiterates the Din cited in the previous Beraisa with
regard to Yayin S'tam, only he repeats the same Halachah with regard to
'Martef Zeh shel Yayin' (whereas in the previous Beraisa, the Tana held
'Mocher Lo Yayin ha'Nimkar ba'Chanus'). In which case does he add
'u'Mekabel Alav Eser Kos'sos le'Me'ah'?
(b) What does he then mean when he concludes 've'Zehu Otzar she'Shanu
be'Mishnaseinu'?
(c) So how do we finally establish our Mishnah?
Answers to questions
95b---------------------------------------95b
6)
(a) How do we establish Rav Z'vid's Beraisa which rules 'Martef Zeh shel
Yayin, Nosen Lo Yayin she'Kulo Yafeh, u'Mekabel Alav ... Kos'sos' to
reconcile it with the Beraisa that we learned earlier 'Nosen Lo Yayin
ha'Nimkar ba'Chanus' (which are all Kos'sos)?
(b) In the first Beraisa, what did Reuven mean to preclude when he
stipulated 'shel Yayin' (seeing as Shimon must accept as many Kos'sos as he
receives)?
7)
(a) Why, if Reuven stipulated 'le'Mikpah', must he give Shimon good wine,
even if it is customary to use vinegar for the purpose of 'Mikpah'?
(b) Why does Rav Z'vid's Beraisa not insert the case of 'Martef Zeh Ani
Mocher Lach'?
(c) What is the Machlokes between Rav Acha and Ravina regarding 'Martef shel
Yayin' without mentioning 'shel Mikpah'?
(d) What is the basis of their Machlokes?
8)
(a) Both Rav Acha and Ravina extrapolate their respective views from one of
the two main Beraisos currently under discussion, both of which state
'Martef Zeh shel Yayin Ani Mocher Lach, Nosen Lo Yayin she'Kulo Yafeh'.
What does the one extrapolate ...
- ... from Rav Z'vid's Beraisa, which we established when Reuven stipulated that he was selling the wine 'le'Mikpah'?
- ... from the earlier Beraisa, which we established when Reuven did not stipulate that he was selling the wine 'le'Mikpah'?
(b) How will the first opinion (which insists on 'le'Mikpeh' by 'Yayin Zeh'
to obligate the seller to sell all good wine) then interpret the Reisha of
the first Beraisa?
(c) How can the Tana switch from case to case in one Beraisa?
(d) And how will the second opinion (which does not require 'le'Mikpeh' by
'Yayin Zeh' to obligate the seller to sell all good wine) interpret the
Reisha of Rav Z'vid's Beraisa?
9)
(a) Rav Yehudah Amar Rav requires the B'rachah of 'Borei P'ri ha'Gafen' for
wine that is sold in the store. What sort of wine is Rav talking about?
(b) What does Rav Chisda say?
10)
(a) What does the Beraisa say about bread that has gone moldy, wine that has
turned into vinegar and a dish that has changed its appearance (turned
sour)? What do all of these have in common?
(b) Rav reconciles his opinion with the Beraisa by establishing the latter
by 'Purtz'ma de'Mizdavin a'Karn'sa'. What does this mean?
(c) Rabeinu Chananel has the text 'be'Pirtzufa de'Mizdavin a'Karn'sa'.
What is 'Pirtzufa'?
