Shabbos 25

1)

(a) From where do we know that it is a Mitzvah to burn Terumah Temei'ah?

(b) Permission to derive benefit from it whilst it is burning, is based initially on two sources:

1. "va'Ani Hinei Nasati *Lecha* Mishmeres *Terumosai*" (Bamidbar);
2. "ve'Lo Bi'arti *Mimenu* (Ma'aser Sheni) be'Tamei" (Devarim);
How do we learn it from there?

(c) What does "be'Tamei" in the latter Pasuk incorporate?

2)
(a) What are the six stringencies of Kodshim over Terumah, of which 'Pankacs' is the acronym of?

(b) What are the four stringencies of Terumah over Kodshim, of which 'Machpaz' is the acronym?

(c) According to the second source mentioned earlier (from which we infer a Heter to derive benefit from Terumah whilst burning it), why do we preclude Tamei *Terumah* from "Mimenu", and not Tamei *Kodshim*?

(d) Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak learns the Heter from "Titen *Lo*" (Devarim). How does he learn it from there?

3) What is the difference between Kares and Misah bi'Yedei Shamayim?
