REVIEW QUESTIONS ON GEMARA AND RASHI

prepared by Rabbi Eliezer Chrysler
Kollel Iyun Hadaf, Jerusalem

Previous daf

Shabbos 75

1)

(a) May one pull the loose end of a strand of a garment, if this will adjust the garment?

(b) What does Rav also say about someone who learns something from an Magush?

(c) What is a 'Magush', according to him?

(d) What is the other explanation of Magush? Why must the proponent of that explanation be Shmuel and not Rav?

2)
(a) About whom does the Navi Yeshayah write "ve'Es Po'al Hashem Lo Yabitu, u'Ma'aseh Yadav Lo Ra'u"?

(b) What do we learn from the Pasuk in va'Eschanan "u'Shemartem, va'Asisem, Ki Hi Chochmaschem u'Vinaschem *le'Einei ha'Amim*"?

(c) Why is this Chochmah referred to as "le'Einei ha'Amim"?

(d) What does Rav say about someone who is able to work out the Tekufos and the Mazalos, but fails to do so?

3)
(a) According to Rebbi Yehudah, catching a Chilazon fish and squeezing it for its blood, involves two Melachos: trapping and threshing (extracting its blood).
Why did the Tana Kama exempt him from threshing?

(b) Abaye claims that he is not Chayav for killing the fish, because we are speaking here about a fish that already died.
How does Rava explain the Beraisa even by a fish that was still alive when he began to squeeze it?

(c) But didn't Abaye and Rava both say that even Rebbi Shimon (who permits a Davar she'Ein Miskaven) agrees that one is Chayav for even a Davar she'Ein Miskaven, when it is Pesik Reisha? So how do we account for Rava's last statement?

4)
(a) Someone who Shechts is Chayav for taking a life.
What other Melachah is he also Chayav for, according to Rav?

(b) Why would anyone care whether the blood makes the animal's neck more red or not?

What are they?

(c) Why do the Rabbanan not include them as two separate Avos Melachos?

(c) The author of our Mishnah is not Rebbi Shimon.
What does Rebbi Shimon hold regarding 'Kol ha'Kasher Lehatzni'a'?

What is the opinion of Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar in this matter?
