Previous daf

Berachos 64

1)

(a) 'Kol ha'Dochek es ha'Sha'ah, ha'Sha'ah Dochkaso'. What does this mean?

(b) Who is the prime example of this principle?

2)

(b) Why then did he decline the offer?

(c) What can we learn from here?

(d) 'Kol Hanach Shenin de'Malach Rabbah, (Rav Yosef) Afilu Umna le'Vesei Lo Kara'. What does this mean?

3)
(a) Rebbi Avin ha'Levi teaches us a number of things: "Ya'ancha Hashem be'Yom Tzarah, Yesagevcha Shem Elokei Ya'akov" Why specifically "Elokei Ya'akov", and not Avraham or Yitzchak?

(b) "va'Yavo Aharon ... Le'echol Lechem *Lifnei ha'Elokim*". What is the significance of "Lifnei ha'Elokim"?

4)
