(a)Shilo quoted a Beraisa listing three Dinim in connection with a Na'arah. If witnesses testify after she has married, that she committed adultery when she was betrothed, she is sentenced to Sekilah at the entrance of her father's house. What message does this convey to her parents?

(b)Where do Beis-Din put her to death, in the event that the testimony that she committed adultery took place before she married?

(c)And how will the Halachah differ in the event that she committed adultery after she became a Bogeres (irrespective of whether the witnesses testified before the marriage or after it)?

(d)Why is that?

2)

(a)What does the Beraisa say about a man who claims, after his wife became a Bogeres, that she committed adultery whilst she was a Na'arah Me'orasah, should he not be able to substantiate his claim (with regard to Malkus and paying a hundred Shekalim and receiving Malkus)?

(b)What does the Tana mean when he says 'Hi v'Zomemehah Makdimin l'Veis ha'Sekilah'?

(c)Why does this Beraisa pose a Kashya on the Tana of Shilo's Beraisa?

(d)Rava answers that Motzi Shem Ra is different because it is a Chidush. What is the Chidush of Motzi Shem Ra?

3)

(a)On what grounds does Rav Huna Brei d'Rav Yehoshua refute Rava's distinction between Motzi Shem Ra and adultery?

(b)What does Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak therefore conclude with regard to the two conflicting Beraisos (whether 'Ishtani Gufa' causes her to adopt the Din of a married woman [to reduce her Din from Sekilah to Chenek] or not)?

(c)The Mishnah in Horayos discusses a Hedyot (an ordinary person or Kohen) who was Chayav a Chatas before becoming appointed king or Kohen Gadol. A Hedyot (an ordinary person) who sins, brings a she-sheep or a she-goat as a Korban Chatas. Which animal is brought by ...

1. ... a king?

2. ... a Kohen Gadol?

4)

(a)According to the Tana Kama, a king or a Kohen Gadol who sinned before his appointment, brings the Korban of a Hedyot. What does Rebbi Shimon say if he discovered that he sinned only after his appointment?

(b)How does Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak try to connect the Machlokes Tana'im with regard to Ishtani Gufa (that we just cited) with this Machlokes?

(c)On what grounds do we reject this contention? What should Rebbi Shimon have ruled if he were to hold like the Tana of Shilo?

(d)Then what is his reasoning there by Korban Chatas?

5)

(a)How did Rebbi Yochanan instruct the Beraisa expert to amend Shilo's Beraisa 'Sarchah v'li'be'Sof Bagrah, Teidon b'Chenek') to resolve the contradiction between the two conflicting Beraisos?

(b)Rebbi Ila'a counters the Kashya from the Pasuk "Na'arah ha'Me'orasah" (which appears to preclude a Bogeres from Sekilah) with the Pasuk "v'Hotzi'u es ha'Na'arah". How does he extrapolate for there to incorporate a Bogeres in the Din of Sekilah?

(c)What problem did Rebbi Chananya have with Rebbi Ila'a's explanation, that caused him to exclaim 'Rachmana Litzlan me'Hai Da'ata!' (May Hash-m save us from your opinion!)?

(d)How did Rebbi Ila'a counter that?

(e)How does Rebbi Yitzchak bar Avin or Rebbi Yitzchak bar Aba explain Rebbi Ila'a distinction between the Din of the girl and that of her husband?

6)

(a)We have already learned that a Na'arah ha'Me'orasah is stoned to death at the gate of her father's house, in the event of the witnesses testifying after she was already married. Where is she stoned in the event that ...

1. ... she has no father or father's house?

2. ... most of the town's residents are Nochrim?

(b)If someone served idols, the Torah writes in Shoftim "v'Hotzeisa es ha'Ish ha'Hu ... el She'arecha". What do we learn from a 'Gezeirah-Shavah' from "Ki Yimatzei b'Kirbecha b'Achad she'Arecha"?

(c)And what else do we learn from the word " ... el She'arecha"? How can we learn two Derashos from the same word?

(d)The above Derashah concerns Avodah-Zarah. With regard to Na'arah ha'Me'orasah, the Torah writes "el Pesach Beis Avihah" and it also writes in Bamidbar (in connection with the Mishkan) "Masach Pesach Sha'ar he'Chatzer". How does Rebbi Avahu now learns from there that if a Na'arah ha'Me'orasah has no father or father's house, that she is stoned at the gate of the city where she sinned (see Tosfos DH 'Soklin')?

(a)According to the first Lashon, the Tana Kama in a Beraisa states that a husband who slanders his newly-married wife receives Malkus and has to pay a hundred Shekalim, whether the marriage was consummated (and he claims that he discovered that she was not a Besulah), or not (and his claim is based entirely on the evidence of witnesses). Rebbi Yehudah agrees with this regarding Malkus. What does he say about paying?

(b)According to this Lashon, it is only Rebbi Yehudah who holds like Rebbi Eliezer ban Yakov (whose opinion will be cited later). If, in their opinion, the Parashah of Motzi Shem Ra was only said when the marriage was consummated, why does he receive Malkus even if the marriage was not consummated? What is the source of Malkus for a person slandering his wife?

(c)But how can one receive Malkus for a 'Lav she'Ein Bo Ma'aseh'?

8)

(a)The second Lashon establishes both opinions like Rebbi Eliezer ben Yakov, and the Tana Kama speaks specifically when the marriage was consummated. What does Rebbi Yehudah then say?

(b)How does Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak reconcile Rebbi Yehudah (in both Leshonos) with another Beraisa, where Rebbi Yehudah says 'Ba'al Lokeh; Lo Ba'al, Eino Lokeh'?

(c)Rav Papa disagrees with Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak. How does Rav Papa explain 'Lo Ba'al, Eino Lokeh' in the second Beraisa?

(d)Is it appropriate to refer to Mamon as Lokeh?

9)

(a)According to the Tana Kama of a Beraisa, if someone says 'Chatzi Erki Alai, Nosen Chatzi Erko'. What does Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Yehudah say?

(b)How does Rav Papa explain Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Yehudah's statement 'Lokeh v'Nosen Erech Shalem'? Why should he receive Malkus?

(c)What is Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Yehudah's reason?

(d)Why does someone who says 'Erech Chetzyi Alai' have to pay his full Erech?
