REVIEW QUESTIONS ON GEMARA AND RASHI

prepared by Rabbi Eliezer Chrysler
Kollel Iyun Hadaf, Jerusalem

Previous daf

Shabbos 62

1)

(a) What is the Din regarding a woman who carries a needle with an eye or wearing a signet-ring, in the street?

(b) Ula says that the opposite is true of a man.
To what is he referring and what does he mean?

(c) How does Ula, who differentiates between the 'Tachshit' of a man and that of a woman, explain the Beraisa which permits anyone to wear soft sack as a protection against rain - because that is what shepherds do? Why do we not say that a woman is Patur from going out with with a signet-ring, since it is the 'Tachshit' of a man?

(d) How does Ula account for the fact that a woman who finds Tefilin lying in the street, may put them on and take them home - because they are considered a Tachshit for a man?

2)
(a) What should someone do if he finds many pairs of Tefilin lying in the street?

(b) According to the Rabbanan of Rebbi Meir, would a woman who found Tefilin lying in the street, be permitted to put them on and take them home?

3)
(a) Why should a man be Chayav for wearing a plain ring, and a woman for a signet-ring, since in both cases, it is unusual to carry them in this way, why is it not considered 'Hotza'ah Ke'le'achar Yad'?

(b) The Gemara first answered that the Mishnah is speaking about an 'Ishah Gizbaris'.
How would that answer the question?

4)
(a) Our Mishnah also forbids a woman to wear a 'Kuliar', a 'Koveles' and a 'Tzeluchis shel Pelaiton' in the street
What is ...
1. ... a 'Kuliar'?
2. ... a 'Koveles'?
3. ... a 'Tzeluchis shel Pelaiton'?
(b) Is a woman Chayav if she *does* wear any of the above (two opinions), and what are the respective reasons?

(c) Rebbi Eliezer permits her to wear a 'Koveles' Lechatchilah.
Why?

(d) Rebbi has said 'Mutar'. In another Beraisa, he says 'Patur'.
Why does he do that?
