KIDUSHIN 3 - dedicated by a Talmid of Rabbi Kornfeld in Chicago. May Hash-m bestow upon him and his wife Berachah in all their endeavors, and Yiddishe Nachas and joy from their dear children.

2)
(a) Initially, we explain the Tana's use of 'Sheloshah Derachim' (rather than 'Devarim') to the fact that in the Seifa, he concludes 'u'le'Yerek b'Derech Echad'. Why, in the Seifa, did he prefer to use the term 'Derech' and not 'Davar'?
(b) What determines the year of Ma'aser regarding wheat and wine?
(c) Vegetables are determined by when they are picked, because 'Darkan Ligadel Al Kol Mayim', and wheat and wine, by the previous year, because 'Darkan Ligadel Al Rov Mayim'. What is the meaning of ...

2. ... 'Darkan Ligadel Al Rov Mayim'?

(b) We prove this from Rebbi Eliezer in the Mishnah in Bikurim. What does Rebbi Eliezer say?
(c) What does the Tana then preclude (by virtue of the use of the word 'Derachim') with regard to ...

5)
(a) The number ('Sheloshah Derachim') in the Reisha of our Mishnah comes to preclude Chupah, as we just learned, though Rav Huna disagrees. What does Rav Huna say about Chupah?

(c) What is 'Chalipin'?

(b) What does Rav Yehudah Amar Rav extrapolate from the Pasuk in Mishpatim (concerning a Jewish maidservant going free when she becomes a Na'arah) "v'Yatz'ah Chinam Ein Kesef"?
(c) The Torah does not write "Ein Lo Kesef", so from where do we know that the money goes to her father (and not to herself)?
(d) Why do we then need to quote the Pasuk in Matos "bi'Ne'urehah Beis Avihah"? What do we initially learn from there?
click for answer

9)
(a) From where do we know that a father has the right to effect the Kidushin of his daughter?
(b) Seeing as the Pasuk is speaking about a Na'arah, what makes us initially restrict the Halachah of a father receiving his daughter's Kidushin to a Ketanah?

(b) So what do we learn from "bi'Ne'urehah Beis Avihah"?
(c) Nevertheless, now that a father has the rights to annul the Nedarim of his daughter when she is a Na'arah, why can we not learn from there that he also receives the money of her Kidushin?

(b) What is 'Pegam'?
