(a) What do we learn from the Pesukim in Nechemyah

2. "vi'Yevarchu Shem Kevodecha" etc.
3. "u'Meromam Al Kol Berachah u'Sehilah".

(b) Having cited Boaz, who instituted greeting using the Name of Hashem, why does the Mishnah need to quote the Pasuk in Shoftim "Hashem Imcha, Gibor he'Chayil"?

(c) Then why does the Mishnah need to bring a third Pasuk (in Mishlei): "ve'Al Tavuz, Ki Zaknah Imecha"?

(d) The Pasuk in Tehilim writes "Es La'asos la'Hashem, Heferu Torasecha". What is the difference whether we Darshen the two phrases of the Pasuk in the order that they are written, or whether we invert them?

(a) Hillel said 'be'Sha'as ha'Machnisin, Pazer, be'Sha'as ha'Mefazrin, Pazer'.

1. ... from the Pasuk in Mishlei "Yesh Mefazer ve'Nosaf Od"?

(c) What did he mean by 'Zalas Kevotz, Kene Minah'?

(d) Hillel also said that here where there is no man, you be a man! Why did Abaye need to teach us the inference, that there where there is a man, withdraw! Is this not obvious - that one may not issue rulings in the place of his Rebbe?

(a) Why did they send two Talmidei-Chachamim down to the Golah to Chananya, Rebbi Yehoshua's nephew?

(b) What did the two Talmidei-Chachamim mean when they said to him 'You have already built, you cannot now demolish!'

(c) Why was it is acceptable for *Rebbi Akiva* to fix leap years and Rosh Chodesh outside Chutz la'Aretz (i.e. outside Yerushalayim)?

(d) And what did they tell Chananya, when he thought that, like with Rebbi Akiva, there was nobody in Eretz Yisrael who could compare with him?

7)

(a) In what context did the two Talmidei Chachamim tell Chananya 've'Im Lo, Ya'alu la'Har; Achiyah Yivneh Mizbei'ach, Chananya Yenagen be'Chinor'?

(b) What is the significance of 'Chananya Yenagen be'Chinor'?

(c) What was the people's response to the warning?

(b) Which Tana enjoyed the distinguished title of 'Rosh ha'Medabrim be'Chol Makom'?

(c) Did the threat materialize?

(d) How does Rebbi Yehudah interpret the Pasuk in Devarim "Haskes u'Shema Yisrael, *ha'Yom ha'Zeh* Niheyesa le'Am"? Was the Torah given then? Surely it had been given forty years earlier?

(e) How does the Gemara prove that, from a Talmid-Chacham who failed to say the Shema?

1. From the Lashon of 'Asu Kitos, Kitos'.
2. From the Lashon of 'Kates' (meaning 'to cut').
3. 'Has' first, and then 'Kates'.

12)
