Previous daf

Shabbos 113

1)

(a) One may tie a bucket to a well, but not using a rope.
Why is that?

(b) Does anyone permit tying a rope in an ordinary rope that snapped?

(c) What sort of rope is the Tana of our Mishnah referring to, and why does Rebbi Yehudah permit it?

(d) Why do the Rabbanan (who decree a weaver's rope because of an ordinary one) in another Beraisa, permit making a bow in the rope of a bucket that snapped?

2)
(a) How do we reconcile Rav, who permits tying one end of a rope to a cow, and the other end, to the stable, with the Beraisa, which prohibits it?

(b) Are weaver's-rods Muktzah on Shabbos?

(c) Rav Yehudah is uncertain whether the heavy beams of the weaving-loom are Muktzah or not; Rebbi Yehudah bar Livai declares that they *are*.
Why?

(d) One is permitted to pull beets and radishes from the ground, in spite of the fact that one moves earth in the process.
Why then does Shmuel forbid the removal of the weaver's columns - due to the fact that he moves earth in the process?

3)
(a) May one fold clothes or make the beds on Shabbos for after Shabbos?

(b) Rebbi Yishmael permits the Chalavim of (the Korban Tamid) of Shabbos to be burnt on Yom Kipur (on Kol Nidrei night), but not vice-versa. What does Rebbi hold in this matter?

4)
(a) Only one person is permitted to fold clothes on Shabbos, but not two.
Which other three conditions are required before folding clothes is permitted on Shabbos?

(b) What would someone who had no Shabbos clothes to wear do, in order to honor the Shabbos, and why would this not be considered conceit? What do we learn from the Pasuk in Yeshayah:

1. "ve'Chibadto"?
2. "me'Asos Derachecha"?
3. "mi'Metzo Cheftzecha"?
4. "ve'Daber (Davar)"?
5. "Davar"?
