2)

1. ... "Zechurcha"?
2. ... "Kol Zechurcha"?
(b) Why do we need a Pasuk to preclude women from Re'iyah, seeing as it is a time-bound Mitzvah (from which women are generally exempt anyway)?

3)
(a) We just learned that the Beraisa precludes a Tumtum and an Androginus from Re'iyah from "Zechurcha". What problem do we have with Tumtum?
(b) Why is that not a problem with Androginus?
(c) How does Abaye establish Tumtum in order to solve the problem?
(d) How do we reconcile the Derashah "Kol Zechurcha" to include a Katan, with our Mishnah which precludes a Katan from Re'iyah?
(e) How can we include a Katan who has reached the age of Chinuch from a Pasuk, when Chinuch is only mid'Rabanan?

4)
(a) In fact, we conclude, "Kol Zechurcha" comes, not to include, but to exclude. Which three types of people does it preclude? How do we learn that from there?
(b) From where do we know that a slave is Patur from Re'iyah?
(c) How does Ravina then explain Rav Huna, when he precludes from "el Pnei ha'Adon Hash-m", someone who has another master?
(d) How do we support this explanation of Ravina from the Lashon of our Mishnah 'Nashim va'Avadim she'Einan Meshuchrarin'?

5)
(a) The Beraisa initially Darshens "Shalosh Regalim", to preclude someone with a wooden stub in place of his foot. Besides someone who is lame or who cannot go on foot, which other two kinds of people does the Tana then preclude from there?
(b) On what grounds does the Tana retract from his initial explanation?
(c) What does the Tana mean by 'someone who cannot go on foot'?
(d) How does the Pasuk in Devarim describe someone who enters the Azarah wearing shoes?

6)
(a) The Beraisa exempts an Arel and someone who is Tamei from Re'iyah. Considering that someone who is Tamei is forbidden to enter the Azarah anyway, why do we need a Pasuk to exempt him from Re'iyah, seeing as he is forbidden to enter the Azarah anyway?
(b) The author of the Beraisa which exempts an Arel from Re'iyah is Rebbi Akiva. What does Rebbi Akiva learn from the double expression in the Pasuk in Emor "Ish Ish ... "(forbidding a Tamei Kohen to eat Terumah)?
(c) What is the definition of an Arel (in this context)?
(d) Rebbi Yochanan ben Dahavai Amar Rebbi Yehudah, in the same Beraisa, exempts someone who is blind in one eye from Re'iyah. What is his source for that?

(a) Why did Rav Huna weep when he arrived at the Pasuk ...
1. ... "Yir'eh, Yera'eh" (demonstrating how much Hash-m loves Klal Yisrael and wants to see them)?
2. ... in Ki Savo "v'Zavachta Shelamim v'Achalta Sham" (demonstrating how much Hash-m wants to eat at our table)?
(b) Why did Rebbi Elazar weep when he arrived at the Pasuk ...
1. ... in va'Yigash "v'Lo Yachlu Echav La'anos Oso, Ki Nivhalu Mipanav"?
2. ... in Shmuel 1 "va'Yomer Shmuel el Shaul, Lamah Hirgaztani La'alos Osi"? What had the witch seen? What was Shmuel afraid of?

(a) Rav Yosef wept when he arrived at the Pasuk in Mishlei "v'Yesh Nispeh b'Lo Mishpat". Is it possible to die prematurely? What strange story did Rav Bibi bar Abaye relate about the Mal'ach ha'Maves?
(b) How did the latter manage to take Miriam the kindergarten teacher's Neshamah, in spite of the fact that her death was premature?
(c) How did the Mal'ach ha'Maves reconcile this with the Pasuk in Koheles "Dor Holech v'Dor Ba" (implying that everybody has his time)?
(d) Who is Dumah?
