PEREK #4 MAKOM SHE'NAHAGU
10)[line 41]מקום שנהגו לעשותMAKOM SHE'NAHAGU SHE'LO LA'ASOS- There were those who were accustomed not to engage in any work on Erev Pesach, so as not to forget any of the many Pesach-related activities necessary then. These include destroying any leftover Chametz, slaughtering the Korban Pesach, and baking Matzos for the Seder. Although it is technically possible to perform some of these activities at night, it is a Mitzvah to prepare everything for the Seder while it is still daytime in order to start the Seder immediately so the children remain awake.

11)[line 2]פירות שביעיתPEROS SHEVI'IS
(a)The Torah requires farmers to desist from working the land every seventh year, as described in Vayikra 25:1-7. Produce which grows during the seventh (Shevi'is) year is holy, which in this context means that: 1. It is considered ownerless; anyone may enter any field and pick that which he wishes to eat. 2. The fruits may not be bought and sold in a normal fashion (see Insights to Sukah 39:2). 3. Shevi'is produce may be consumed only in the manner considered normal for that type of food, or burned to provide light in the case of oil. It may not be wasted, used for medicinal purposes, fed to animals, etc.
(b)Shemitah produce may be stored only so long as that produce is available in the fields to wild animals (derived from Vayikra 25:7). When it is no longer available in the wild, Bi'ur must be done. This includes removing all of the produce from storage, placing it in a public domain and declaring it Hefker (Halachically ownerless) in front of three Jewish men. These men may be friends of the owner, who will allow him to reclaim his produce from Hefker immediately following his declaration without attempting to claim the produce for themselves.

13)[line 5]מאי איריא ערבי פסחיםMAI IRYA ARVEI PESACHIM- The Mishnah teaches that there are different customs when it comes to performing Melachah before Chatzos. The implication is that after Chatzos, no one anywhere may perform Melachah. The Gemara here inquires why it was necessary for the Mishnah to add the words "Ad Chatzos" in order to imply this; such a custom is in effect every Erev Shabbos and Yom Tov!
