SUMMARY
1. Rebbi Yochanan maintains that even a store which is decorated with fruit, and not with flowers, may not be patronized on a religious holiday.
2. Rebbi Nasan maintains that if a person engages in commerce in a market place of Avodah Zarah, the animals he buys should be crippled; the fruit, clothing, and utensils that he buys should be allowed to rot; coins and metal utensils shall be cast into the Dead Sea.
3. According to the Rabanan, a person may buy animals and servants, houses and fields in a market place of worshippers of Avodah Zarah.
4. The Rabanan maintain that when a person buys items from the market of the Avodah Zarah, he is permitted to write Shtaros and have them signed in a court of Nochrim.
5. A Kohen is permitted to become Tamei with a Tum'ah d'Rabanan in order to engage in legal proceedings to save his property from a Nochri.
6. A Kohen is permitted to become Tamei with a Tum'ah d'Rabanan in order to get married or to learn Torah.
7. One may not be Makdish, Machrim, or Ma'arich nowadays.
8. If a person is Makdish, Machrim, or Ma'arich nowadays: if it is an animal, it should be locked up until it dies; if it is produce, clothing, or utensils, they should be allowed to rot; if it is coins and metal utensils, they shall be cast into the Dead Sea.
9. It is forbidden to make an animal into a Ba'al Mum if the animal was sanctified to be brought as a Korban. The prohibition applies only during the time of the Beis ha'Mikdash.
10. Worshippers of Avodah Zarah and shepherds of small animals shall not be thrown into a well. But if they fall in, they should not be taken out.

A BIT MORE
1. The store is decorated as a symbol that the Avodah Zarah has an interest in the store. By patronizing the store, the customer benefits the Avodah Zarah. However, Reish Lakish rules that one is permitted to patronize the store, because he maintains that there is no prohibition to provide benefit for an Avodah Zarah.
2. The animals shall be crippled only under the knee but not above the knee, because one is forbidden to make an animal into a Tereifah.
3. Reish Lakish maintains that the Rabanan disagree with Rebbi Nasan. In their opinion, one is permitted to provide benefit for an Avodah Zarah. Rebbi Yochanan maintains that there is no disagreement. The Rabanan refer to a case in which he bought it from a Ba'al ha'Bayis and none of the proceeds are going to the Avodah Zarah.
4. The Nochrim take great pride when a Jew goes to their courts, and they may give thanks to their Avodah Zarah. Nevertheless, going to their courts is permitted because by having the document signed in their court, one saves the property from them.
5. The Kohen may become Tamei with Tum'as Chutz la'Aretz or with the Tum'ah of a Beis ha'Pras, which is a Tum'ah d'Rabanan, in order to save his property.
6. Rebbi Yehudah maintains that the Kohen may become Tamei only if he does not have anyone to learn Torah from in Eretz Yisrael. Rebbi Yosi maintains that even if he has someone to learn from in Eretz Yisrael, he may become Tamei because a person is not Zocheh to learn from every teacher.
7. The item he was Makdish must be destroyed, because there is no Beis ha'Mikdash nowadays. We are concerned that someone will derive benefit from the Hekdesh and will be Chayav a Korban Me'ilah.
8. It is forbidden to cripple the animal, because it is a disgrace to Kodshim. It is forbidden to slaughter it, because of the concern that it might then be eaten.
9. The prohibition against making an animal into a Ba'al Mum applies even to an animal which already has a Mum. However, the prohibition applies only during the time of the Beis ha'Mikdash, when even an animal with a Mum may be redeemed and the proceeds used for a different Korban. Nowadays, when no Korbanos may be brought, one is permitted to make an animal into a Ba'al Mum.
10. Jews who are shepherds for small animals are assumed to be Gazlanim, because they allow their animals to graze in private fields. Therefore, they have the same status as worshippers of Avodah Zarah.
