Question

KESUVOS 6-7 - Generously sponsored by Marsha and Lee Weinblatt of Teaneck, New Jersey. May Hash-m bless them with a Kesivah va'Chasimah for a year of health, prosperity and much Yiddishe Nachas from their wonderful children and grandchildren.

1)
(a) What did Rebbi Ami permit, besides marrying on Shabbos?
(b) What problem did the Rabanan have with Rebbi Ami's ruling?
(c) How do we answer the Kashya?
(d) What, according to others, did Rebbi Zevid actually do?
click for answer

2)
(a) Rav Yehudah permitted marriage on Yom Tov. If, as Rav Papi in the name of Rava maintains, this ruling incorporates Shabbos, why did he confine his statement to Yom Tov?
(b) Rav Papa in the name of Rava, Rav Yehudah did indeed confine his ruling to Yom Tov, forbidding marriage on Shabbos. Why is that?
(c) How does 'Mitoch' apply in this case?
click for answer

3)
(a) Rav Papi queried Rav Papa from Mugmar. What is the Din regarding Mugmar on Yom Tov?
(b) What was Rav Papi's Kashya?
(c) To answer the Kashya, Rav Papa quoted the Pasuk in Bo "Ach Asher Ye'achel la'Chol Nefesh". Based on that Pasuk, how does he differentiate between the two cases?
(d) Seeing as most people do not eat venison on Yom Tov (only the very wealthy [see Maharam]), why is Shechting and cooking it permitted?
click for answer

4)
(a) What problem do we have with Rav Yakov bar Idi's statement 'Horeh Rebbi Yochanan b'Tzaidan Asur li'Ve'ol bi'Techilah b'Shabbos'?
(b) The truth of the matter is however, that we do have precedents for the use of 'Horeh' l'Chumra. Which ruling did Beis Hillel issue with regard to Queen Hilni, in connection with which the word 'Horeh' is used?
(c) An animal with a broken spinal cord is Tereifah. According to Rebbi, most of the diameter must be cracked to be considered a Tereifah. However, 'Horeh Rebbi k'Rebbi Yakov'. What does Rebbi Yakov say?
(d) What did Rav Huna say about this?
click for answer

5)
(a) Rebbi Avahu was present when Rebbi Yishmael ben Yakov asked Rebbi Yochanan whether one is permitted to consummate one's marriage on Shabbos. What was his reply?
(b) What is the ultimate ruling in this matter?
click for answer

6)
(a) How do we reconcile Rav Huna's ruling (that an Almanah does not require Birchas Chasanim [Sheva Berachos]) with another statement of his, where, cited by Rebbi Chelbo, he rules in the name of ...Rav that an Almanah, as well as a Besulah, requires Birchas Chasanim?
(b) What does Rav Nachman quoting Huna bar Nasan, learn from the Pasuk in Ruth "va'Yikach Asarah Anashim mi'Ziknei ha'Ir va'Yomer 'Shvu Poh'! va'Yeshvu"?
(c) What were the respective statuses of the Chasan and Kalah in that case?
(d) But did Rav Huna not just say that there is no Birchas Chasanim for an Almon who married an Almanah?
click for answer

7)
(a) What problem does the previous ruling create with what we learned earlier with regard to an Almanah marrying on Thursday and consummating the marriage on Friday?
(b) To resolve the problem, we establish the latter with regard to Almon and an Almanah, and draw a distinction between Simchah (which requires three days), and Birchas Chasanim (which requires only one). Alternatively, we establish it even by a Bachur and an Almanah. How is this possible?

7b----------------------------------------7b

8)
(a) How many days of Sheva Berachos does one give ...
1. ... a Besulah?
2. ... an Almanah who marries a Bachur?
3. ... an Almanah who marries an Almon?
(b) Then why does the Beraisa say 'Mevorchin li'Vesulah Shiv'ah, ul'Almanah Yom Echad', disregarding the case of three days?
click for answer

9)
(a) We quoted earlier Rav Nachman citing Huna bar Nasan, who learns from the Pasuk in Ruth ("va'Yikach Asarah Anashim ... ") that Birchas Chasanim requires a Minyan. From which Pasuk in Tehilim does Rebbi Avahu learn it?
(b) Rav Nachman Darshens from the Pasuk in Tehilim like Rebbi Meir in a Beraisa. What does Rebbi Meir say?
(c) In light of Rebbi Meir's Derashah, how does Rebbi Avahu also extrapolate from the Pasuk the Din that Sheva Berachos requires a Minyan?
(d) And according to Rebbi Avahu, why does the Pasuk find it necessary to teach us that Boaz collected ten people, if not for the purpose of Sheva Berachos? Why does Rebbi Avahu prefer not to learn Sheva Berachos from there?
click for answer

10)
(a) And how does Rebbi Avahu explain Boaz's need to teach us the Halachah of "Amoni" 'v'Lo Amonis' in front of so many people?
(b) We prove this from Shmuel, who instructed Rav Chana Bagdesa'ah to gather ten people in order to issue a certain ruling in front of them. Which ruling?
(c) Do we indeed follow Shmuel's ruling in that matter?
(d) Shmuel's disciple was called Rav Chana Bagdesa'ah. What does 'Bagdesa'ah' mean?
click for answer

11)
(a) The Tana Kama requires Birchas Chasanim when one goes under the Chupah. What does Rebbi Yehudah add to that?
(b) Abaye confines Rebbi Yehudah's ruling to the province of Yehudah. Why is that?
(c) Which Berachah does the Tana Kama concede that one recites at the Erusin?
(d) What is the source for the statement (in Birchas Erusin) 'v'Asar Lanu es ha'Arusos'?
click for answer

12)
(a) According to Rav Acha Brei d'Rava, one concludes Birchas Erusin 'Baruch ... Mekadesh Yisrael al-Yedei Chupah v'Kidushin' because he compares it to Kidush. In which regard\s is Birchas Erusin similar to Kidush?
(b) What is the reason of Ravin and Rabah, sons of Rav Ada, in whose opinion one does not conclude Birchas Erusin with a Berachah? To what do they compare it?
click for answer

13)
The Beraisa requires Birchas Chasanim to be said all seven days, provided there are ten people. How does Rav Yehudah qualify this ruling further?
