Kidushin 79

KIDUSHIN 77-80 - Ari Kornfeld has generously sponsored the Dafyomi publications for these Dafim for the benefit of Klal Yisrael.

1)

(a) Having taught us that whichever Kidushin took place first, negates the second one ...
  1. ... by a man, why did the Tana find it necessary to repeat it in the case of a woman? What would we have otherwise thought in the latter case?
  2. ... by a woman, why did the Tana find it necessary to repeat it in the case of the father?
(b) If a man is Mekadesh his daughter who is a Na'arah outside town, whilst on the same day, she accepted Kidushin from another man in town, and we then discover that she is a Bogeres, Rav rules that her Kidushin is valid.
When exactly, did the two sets of Kidushin take place? What is Rav's reason?

(c) What does Shmuel say?

(d) Why can we not establish their Machlokes ...

  1. ... within the first six months after she became a Na'arah? How would we know if a girl became a Bogeres during the six-month period after Na'arus?
  2. ... after the six months had terminated?
2)
(a) So we establish the Machlokes on the actual day when the six-month period terminates. We have discussed Rav's reasoning.
What is Shmuel's?

(b) What does the Mishnah in Mikva'os say about a Mikveh which was known to contain forty Sa'ah, but which is measured and found to be lacking?

(c) What is the difference between a Reshus ha'Yachid and a Reshus ha'Rabim with re. to Safek Tum'ah?

(d) In that case, why does the Tana in Mikva'os not declare all Taharos that were dealt with in the Reshus ha'Rabim, Tahor?

3)
(a) Seeing as in the case of Safek Bogeres, just like in the case of Mikveh, the Chazakah is now broken in front of us, why does Shmuel not take his cue from the case of Mikveh, (to consider the girl a Bogeres retroactively) like Rav does?

(b) The Beraisa discusses a barrel of wine which one examined regularly to make sure that it had not turned sour, and from which one separated Terumos to rectify other barrels of wine (two Lugin per barrel of a hundred Lugin. What does the Tana rule there if one discovered the wine to have turned sour? What does 'Safek' mean practically?

(c) What does the Tana mean by 'three days'?

(d) How does this Beraisa clash with the Mishnah in Mikva'os? What ought to have been the Din according to that Tana?

4)
(a) Rebbi Chanina from Syria establishes the Beraisa like Rebbi Shimon. What does Rebbi Shimon in a Beraisa say re. the case of Mikveh?

(b) According to Shmuel, why do we not place the wine on a Safek Chazakah that it only turned sour now, like we do by the Safek Bogeres?

Answers to questions

79b---------------------------------------79b

5)

(a) What will be the Din if someone writes all his property to a friend and then recovers, assuming that, at the time of writing, he was ...
  1. ... a Shechiv-Mera (on his death-bed)?
  2. ... in good health?
(b) Rebbi Ya'akov in the Mishnah in Bava Basra rules that in the case of a Safek, the donor may retain the money.
What does Rebbi Nasan say?

(c) How do we attempt to connect the Machlokes between Rav and Shmuel with this Machlokes Tana'im. Like which Tana do we establish ...

  1. ... Rav?
  2. ... Shmuel?
(d) We refute this proposal however.
On what grounds do we conclude that ...
  1. ... Rav might even hold like Rebbi Ya'akov? What is the difference between the Chezkas Mamon in one case and the Chezkas ha'Guf in the other?
  2. ... Shmuel might hold like Rebbi Nasan? What is the difference between the Chezkas ha'Guf in the one case and the Chezkas ha'Guf in the other?
6)
(a) If a man is Mekadesh his daughter who is a Na'arah outside town, whilst on the same day, she accepted Kidushin from another man in town, and we then discover that she is a Bogeres, one Beraisa rules that her Kidushin is valid ('Harei Hi Bogeres Lefaneinu').
What does a second Beraisa say?

(b) How do we refute the proposal that Rav and Shmuel follow the respective opinions of these two Beraisos? Like whom might both Beraisos go?

(c) How is it possible to establish the first Beraisa like Shmuel?

(d) How does our interpretation of the two Beraisos cause us to query the Machlokes between Rav and Shmuel?

7)
(a) How did Shmuel react when Rav Yosef Brei de'Rav Menashyah from Davil ruled in practice like Rav? What did he say?

(b) How do we prove from this incident that Rav and Shmuel argue?

(c) Mar Zutra told Rav Ashi that Ameimar ruled like Rav.
What does Rav Ashi himself hold?

(d) What is the final ruling?

8)
(a) What does the Tana say about a man who goes overseas with his wife, and returns ...
  1. ... with her, claiming that she and the children that returned with them are his wife and her children respectively?
  2. ... without her and claims that she died and that the children are hers?
(b) And what will be the Din if he returns from overseas ...
  1. ... with a woman and children in tow, claiming that he married the woman overseas and that these are her children?
  2. ... with a woman but no children, claiming that he married a woman overseas, who died, and that these are her children?
9)
(a) Why is it that whenever he returns with his wife, he does not need to prove that the children are hers?

(b) What does the Tana of the Beraisa mean when he says 'u'Meivi Re'ayah al ha'Gedolim, ve'Ein Tzarich Lahavi Re'ayah al ha'Ketanim'?

(c) And what does the Tana say in the latter case, but when he returns with one woman, and claims that he married two, one of whom died, and that the children belong to the wife who returned with him?
