1)
(a) If one has a hard fur that comprises Sha'atnez, may one ...
- ... sit on it?
- ... wear it?
(b) May one wear 'Ardalin' (a kind of footwear made mainly of wool that was
worn on the heel) if it comprises Sha'atnez?
(c) According to Rava, is one permitted to wear a garment (something like a
money-belt) comprising Sha'atnez, that is meant to hold ...
- ... money?
- ... seeds?
(d) What does Rav Ashi say?
2)
(a) Why may one not send a Sandal ha'Mesumar as a gift on Yom-Tov?
(b) Is it Muktzah on Shabbos or Yom-Tov?
3)
(a) The Tana of our Mishnah forbids sending a shoe that has not yet been
stitched.
But is that not obvious?
(b) Rebbi Yehudah forbade sending a white shoe, but permitted a blackened
one.
On what grounds did he forbid the former?
(c) Rebbi Yossi forbade sending even a *black* shoe.
Why?
(d) Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Yossi do not, in fact, argue.
How is this
possible?
4)
Rav Sheshes permitted the Rabbanan to send Tefilin on Yom-Tov.
How do we
reconcile this with our Mishnah, which specifically writes 'Kol *she'Ne'osin
Bo be'Yom-Tov*, Meshalchin Oso' (clearly restricting the Heter to send to
things from which one can benefit on Yom-Tov)? Then why does the Tana say
'be'Yom-Tov'?
5)
(a) What did Abaye say about someone wearing Tefilin, who was ...
- ... on his way home on Erev Shabbos, and it got dark?
- ... sitting in the Beis Hamedrash on Erev Shabbos, and it got dark?
(b) We ask on Abaye from a Beraisa, which seems to clash with him on both
points.
What does the Beraisa say?
(c) We establish the Beraisa by a house where it is safe to leave them, and
Abaye when it is *not*.
What is then the problem with Abaye's case? What
does one do if he finds a pair of Tefilin in a field on Shabbos?
6)
(a) According to the Gemara's conclusion, Abaye speaks when the Tefilin are
guarded against dogs, but not against thieves.
How will the Din differ ...
- ... if he found them on the ground?
- ... if they are not guarded at all (even from dogs)?
(b) What is Abaye's Chidush? Why might we have thought that one should not
carry them into town even if he is already wearing them (seeing as they are
safe against dogs)?

7)
(a) What does the Tana of our Mishnah permit someone who did not make an
Eiruv to do on Yom-Tov, and what does he not permit?
(b) Beis Shamai requires two dishes for Eiruv Tavshilin.
What do Beis
Hillel say?

before the cooking for Shabbos has been completed?
8)
(a) Is Eiruv Tavshilin mi'd'Oraysa or mi'de'Rabbanan?
(b) Then how can we learn it from the Pasuk in Yisro "Zachor es Yom
ha'Shabbos le'Kadesho"?
(c) According to Rava, Eiruv Tavshilin is in honor of Shabbos (like the
previous Derashah of Shmuel), according to Rav Ashi, it is in honor of Yom-
Tov. What does Rav Ashi say?
(d) According to Rava, why does our Mishnah require that one prepares the
Eiruv on Erev Yom-Tov? Why not on Yom-Tov itself?
9)
From which Pasuk (in Beshalach) does the Tana of the Beraisa find support
for Eiruv Tavshilin?
10)
(a) When, during the Yom-Tov Derashah, the first group of disciples left the
Beis Hamedrash, Rebbi Eliezer referred to them as 'Ba'alei Patsin'.
What
does he mean?
(b) The second, third, fourth and fifth groups, he referred to as people who
are attached to their barrels, jugs, jars and cups respectively.
Why did
he call the sixth group, cursed?
(c) What did the remaining disciples think when he then turned to *them*?
(d) What did Rebbi Eliezer say to them ...
- ... to reassure them?
- ... subsequently?
11)
(a) In view of the Mitzvah of Simchas Yom-Tov, how could Rebbi Eliezer
describe those who left the Beis Hamedrash to eat Se'udas Yom-Tov as
'leaving the everlasting world for a passing one'?
(b) What does Rebbi Yehoshua say with regard to Simchas Yom-Tov?
(c) How does each Tana resolve the discrepancy between the Pasuk in Re'ei
"Atzeres la'Hashem Elokecha" and the Pasuk in Pinchas "Atzeres Tihyeh
Lachem"?
(d) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Nechemyah ...
- ... "ve'Shilchu Manos *le'Ein Nachon Lo*"? What two meanings might this phrase have?
- ... "Chedvas Hashem Hi Ma'uzchem"?
12)
(a) What does Rebbi Yochanan Amar Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Shimon (the author
of the previous statement) advise someone to do to ensure that his fields
are not stolen? What does this have to do with the Pasuk in Tehilim "Adir
ba'Marom Hashem"?
(b) What is the alternative explanation of Adra?
(c) How might the Adra help preserve the fruits of one's field? What sort of
fruits are being referred to?
