Hello!! Thank you for the swift response! Baruch HaShem the siyum was a great success, the fleishigs went down a treat. Many orchim mechubodim made their way despite the great mageifah that is brewing- such is the determination of klal yisroel! I had a question regarding the top part of daf doled omud beis, which I've been debating with my chavrusa, Rav Feigelbaum, for some time. If we are to take the pilpula charifta's simple understanding of dimensions in kesubos at face value, it seems that Rashi there has a stira with Rashi here regarding the smearing of cement on the marker. This is obviously not the case, but I was wondering if perhaps gochen lochish comes into play here, or whether it is premature to assume that the 'lebar' 'legav' argument even considers this at this stage in the Gemara's process.
A gitte voch and a freilechen purim,

Yes, I think the key here is the "Gachin Lachish." And this was Haman's problem because the Gemara in Bava Metzia 59a says that if your wife is small, then "Gachin Lachish" and listen to her. Look what happened to him when he followed his short wife, Zeresh!
Hope you had a freilicher Purim,

P.S. As far as I know, this is a new first for the Kollel spreading Torah in Lincolnshire!
