Pesachim 28
1)
(a) The Gemara asks whether 'Mefarer' (breaking into crumbs) is confined to
when one throws the Chametz into the wind (in the Reisha), or whether it
extends to the Din of casting it into the sea (in the Seifa).
Why might
the latter case not *not* need breaking up, even though the former one does?
(b) The Gemara poses the same Sha'aleh by Rebbi Yossi in Avodah-Zarah.
What does Rebbi Yossi rule in the Mishnah in Avodah-Zarah, and what is the
Sha'aleh?
(c) Rabah rules that whereas Avodah-Zarah does *not* require grinding into
dust, Chametz *does*. Rav Yosef says the other way round.
What are their
respective reasons?
(d) One Beraisa requires Chametz to be broken into crumbs (like Rabah);
another Beraisa requires Avodah-Zarah to be ground into dust (like Rav
Yosef).
How does ...
- ... Rabah explain the second Beraisa?
- ... Rav Yosef explain the first Beraisa?
2)
(a) According to Rebbi Yehudah, one transgresses a La'av even before Pesach
and after Pesach.
From when before Pesach does one transgress?
(b) Then what is the difference between before and after Pesach on the one
hand, and during Pesach on the other?
(c) What is the opinion of ...
- ... Rebbi Shimon?
- ... Rebbi Yossi Hagelili?
(d) Who is the author of the section of Beraisa which reads 'u'mi'Sha'ah
she'Asur ba'Achilah, Asur be'Hana'ah?

3)
(a) What does Rebbi Yehudah learn from the Pasuk ...
- ... "Lo Ye'achel Chametz"?
- ... "ve'Chol Machmetzes Lo Sochelu"?
- ... "Lo Sochal Alav Chametz"? -
(b) What does Rebbi Shimon learn from ...
- ... "ve'Chol Machmetzes Lo Sochelu"?
- ... "Lo Ye'achel Chametz (ha'Yom Atem Yotz'im)"?
4)
(a) From where does Rebbi Yehudah derive that bread that became Chametz
through a different kind is forbidden?
(b) The Gemara is unclear as to whether Rebbi Yehudah agrees with Rebbi
Yossi Hagelili regarding the Chametz of Egypt being forbidden for only one
day or not.
On what do the two possibilities depend?
(c) Rebbi Shimon learns from the Hekesh of Chametz to Matzah that min
ha'Torah, the Isur of Bal Yera'eh u'Bal Yimatzei is confined to Pesach.
What does Rebbi Yehudah do with that Hekesh?
5)
(a) Rebbi Shimon learns that the Mitzvah of eating Matzah applies even
nowadays, when there is no Korban Pesach, from "ba'Erev Tochlu Matzos" (Bo).
What does Rebbi Yehudah learn from this Pasuk?
(b) How does Rebbi Shimon know that someone who was Tamei or distant from
Yerushalayim in the time of the Beis Hamikdash was obligated to eat Matzah
and Maror?
(c) What is an ...
- ... Arel?
- ... a Ben Nechar?
(d) From where do we know that an Arel and Ben Nechar are obligated to eat
Matzah and Maror?
6)
Why can we not learn the obligation to eat Chametz even nowadays from one of
the many seemingly superfluous Pesukim - such as "Shiv'as Yamim Matzos
Tochelu"?
