click for answer

2)
(a) The Mishnah incorporates a Mamzeres, a Nesinah and a Kutis in the Adin of Kenas. What do all three have in common?
(b) The 'Nesinim' are so called because Yehoshua placed them wood-choppers and water-drawers. Who forbade them to marry into the Kahal?

(a) On what condition does one pay Kenas to a convert, a captive girl who has been redeemed and a Shifchah who have been set free?
(b) What does the Tana about paying Kenas to women with whom one is guilty of incest?
click for answer

4)
(a) How can our Mishnah include the case of someone who raped his brother's wife or his father's brother's wife, seeing as someone who commits rape with a married woman is Chayav Misah at the hands of Beis-Din, and is therefore Patur from Kenas?
(b) What does the Tana say about a man who raped a Nidah?
(c) Why does he insert only girls who are Pasul in the list of those who are subject to Kenas?
click for answer

5)
(a) Who is the author of our Mishnah which precludes a Ketanah from Kenas?
(b) According to him, what is the corollary between the age that a girl can be sold and her being subject to Kenas?
(c) From where do we know that a girl can no longer be sold from the moment that she is of age to receive Kenas?
click for answer

6)
(a) In which point do the Chachamim disagree with Rebbi Meir?
(b) How do we interpret their statement that a Ketanah from the age of three until she becomes a Bogeres is subject to Kenas, implying that she is subject to Kenas, but cannot be sold?

29b----------------------------------------29b

7)
(a) Why does our Mishnah appear to clash with the Pasuk in Ki Setzei "v'Lo Siheyeh l'Ishah"?
(b) How does ...
1. ... Resh Lakish initially answer this Kashya from the word "ha'Na'arah" (in the Pasuk there "v'Nasan ha'Ish ha'Shochev Imah la'Avi ha'Na'arah"? Why is it superfluous?
2. ... Rav Papa initially explains it with the Pasuk "v'Chi Yefateh Ish Besulah ... Kesef Yishkol k'Mohar ha'Besulos"? What could the Torah have written?
(c) What does Abaye learn from the Pasuk "v'Nasan la'Avi ha'Na'arah"?
(d) The Beraisa uses the Pasuk of Mefateh (a girl who has been enticed) for a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' ("Besulah" "Besulah") to compare an Ones and a Mefateh. He learns the sum of fifty Shekalim by Mefateh from Ones (where it is written explicitly). What does he learn in connection with Ones from Mefateh?
click for answer

8)
Bearing in mind the Derashos of Abaye and the Beraisa, how do we now rearrange the six Pesukim to learn all that we need to from them?
click for answer

9)
(a) Shimon ha'Teimani disagrees with our Mishnah. He takes "v'Lo Siheyeh l'Ishah" as the last word. According to him, which women are subject to Kenas, and which are not?
(b) Rebbi Zeira explains that, according to Rebbi Shimon ben Menasya, it is not a matter of whether Kidushin is effective or not, but whether he is permitted to remain with her or not. What is the difference between the two explanations?
(c) Why will this difference not work according to Rebbi Akiva?
(d) Why is this only a problem according to Rebbi Shimon ben Menasya, but not according to Rebbi Shimon ha'Teimani?
click for answer

10)
(a) We establish the difference between the two Tana'im (according to the opinion of Rebbi Akiva) by an Almanah l'Kohen Gadol according to Rebbi Sima'i. What does Rebbi Sima'i say? What does he learn from the Pesukim in Emor "Lo Yikach ... v'Lo Yechalel"?
(b) Rebbi Yeshevav disagrees with Rebbi Sima'i. What statement did he make that demonstrates this?
(c) According to Rebbi Yeshevav's understanding of Rebbi Akiva then, the difference between Rebbi Shimon ben Menasya and Shimon ha'Teimani will be Chayavei Aseh, assuming that is, that he is only arguing with Rebbi Yeshevav. What will be the difference between them if we assume that he is making his own statement, and that Rebbi Akiva declares even Chayavei Aseh Mamzerim?
(d) How is Kenas applicable to a Be'ulah, who is no longer a Besulah?
click for answer

11)
(a) Why should a Be'ulah l'Kohen Gadol be any different than other Chayavei Aseh?
(b) What do regular Chayavei Aseh incorporate?
