1)

(a)Our Mishnah incorporates in the Din of Ma'aser Behemah animals that are born in Chutz la'Aretz and animals that are born when there is no Beis-ha'Mikdash. What does the Tana say about animals that are Mukdashim?

(b)To which species of animals does it apply?

(c)What does the Mishnah mean when it includes Chadash and Yashan animals in the Din of Ma'aser Beheimah?

(d)And what does the Tana say about taking Ma'aser from ...

1. ... cattle on sheep, or vice-versa?

2. ... Chadash on Yashan or vice-versa?

2)

(a)Based on the previous ruling, why would we have thought that one is not permitted to Ma'aser sheep on goats, and vice-versa?

(b)How do we learn from the word "va'Tzon" (in the Pasuk in Bechukosai "ve'Chol Ma'asar Bakar va'Tzon") that one is?

3)

(a)We suggest that our Mishnah, which includes animals in Chutz la'Aretz in the Din of Ma'aser Beheimah cannot go like Rebbi Akiva. What does Rebbi Akiva say in a Beraisa regarding a Beheimah in Chutz la'Aretz?

(b)How does he learn this from the words "eis Ma'asroseichem" (in the Pasuk in Re'ei "Vahaveisem Shamah Oloseichem ... ve'eis Ma'asroseichem")?

(c)How do we refute the above suggestion? How can the Mishnah go like Rebbi Akiva after all?

(d)And how do we prove this answer from the statement of Rebbi Akiva himself?

4)

(a)Since animals from Chutz la'Aretz are anyway not brought on the Mizbe'ach, what point is there in saying that Kedushas Ma'aser takes effect?

(b)Who actually eats Ma'aser Beheimah?

(c)From where do we know that it is not necessary to give it to a Kohen?

5)

(a)What problem do we have, based on the ruling in our Mishnah that Ma'aser Beheimah applies even in Chutz la'Aretz?

(b)To answer the Kashya, we cite Rav Huna, who attributes it to a decree on account of Yasom. What is a Yasom?

(c)On what grounds do we refute Rav Hunah's answer?

(d)And on what grounds do we refute the refutation that it is possible to make an announcement (to preclude Yesomim from Ma'aser Beheimah)?

6)

(a)To what do we finally attribute the fact that Ma'aser Beheimah does not apply nowadays?

(b)Which Takalah? What are we afraid of?

(c)The source for the Chashash of Takalah lies in a Beraisa regarding declaring Hekdesh, Erech or Cherem nowadays. What does the Tana there say, from which we learn Takalah?

(d)What does the Beraisa say one should do if one did declare Hekdesh ...

1. ... fruit, clothes and vessels?

2. ... money and metal vessels?

(e)If one declared Hekdesh an animal, the Tana says Beheimah Te'aker. What does that mean?

7)

(a)Why did the Chachamim not negate B'chor too, on account of Takalah?

(b)To avoid Takalah, why do we not sell the ears of the mother to a gentile?

(c)Why is Rav Yehudah's method preferable?

8)

(a)Why can one not also blemish the Ma'aser animal before it has been declared Ma'aser?

(b)In that case let the owner lead the blemished animal to the pen in the tenth place?

(c)Why did the Chachamim then not institute that one blemishes one's entire flock in advance?

9)

(a)By the same token, why are we likewise not afraid of the same problem, if we permit the owners of firstborn animals to blemish them?

(b)In that case, why are we worried about blemishing one's flocks, seeing as one will be able to purchase animals from others?

10)

(a)What problem do we have with our Mishnah, which precludes Ma'aser Behemah from Kodshim?

(b)We answer by establishing the Mishnah by Kodshim Kalim, according to Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili. What does Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili say about Kodshim Kalim?

(c)How does he learn this from the Pasuk in Vayikra (in connection with someone who swears that he did not receive a Pikadon and then admits to having sworn falsely) "Uma'alah Ma'al ba'Hashem ve'Kichesh ba'Amiso ... "?

11)

(a)If the Mishnah is talking about Kodshim Kalim according to Rebbi Yosi ha'Gelili, then why can one not Ma'aser them?

(b)Why do we then ask why we should not really need a Pasuk to reach us that?

(c)So why do we in fact, need a Pasuk to teach us that Ma'aser is not effective on Shelamim?

(d)What would we therefore have thought?

12)

(a)Regarding a more stringent Kedushah not taking effect on a lighter one - what does the Mishnah in Temurah say about switching the Kedushah of both Kodshei Mizbe'ach and Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis?

(b)What does the Tana mean when he permits being Makdish it Hekdesh Iluy?

(c)If Ma'aser Beheimah were to take effect on Shelamim, what difference would it make, seeing as the animal is Hekdesh anyway, and Ma'aser is not basically more stringent than Shelamim?

13)

(a)Based on which Kal va'Chomer would we have thought that one is permitted to Ma'aser Chadash on Yashan, and vice-versa?

(b)We refute this however, by citing the Pasuk in Re'ei (with reference to Ma'aser Dagan) "Aser Te'aser eis Kol Tevu'as Zar'echa". Which other kind of Ma'aser (by virtue of the double expression) is the Pasuk hinting at?

(c)What do we now learn from the Hekesh between the two Ma'asros?

(d)From where do we know this Din with regard to Ma'aser Dagan?

(e)Why do we not also learn from Ma'aser Dagan the prohibition of separating Ma'aser from sheep and goats on each other?

14)

(a)What problem do we have with the dual D'rashos currently under discussion?

(b)How does Rava resolve the problem, based on the Torah's insertion of the word in the above-mentioned Pasuk "Shanah")?
