Ta'anis 28

TA'ANIS 27, 28, 29, 30 - Ari Kornfeld has generously sponsored the Dafyomi publications for these Dafim for the benefit of Klal Yisrael

1)

(a) Our Mishnah says 'be'Shachris, u've'Musaf u've'Minchah Korin al Pihen'. What are the two possible interpretations of this statement?

(b) Which is the correct one?

(c) What problem does Rebbi Yossi have with the Tana Kama, who says 'u've'Minchah Korin Osah al Peh'?

(d) What did they do, according to him?

2)
(a) Rebbi Yehoshua holds that on days when they brought the Korban Musaf, there was no Ma'amad at Minchah, but there was at Ne'ilah.
Why is that?

(b) Did the families who donated wood for the Mizbei'ach give, even if there was sufficient wood in the stockpile?

3)
(a) What decree did the Romans issue in the days of the Gonvei Ali and the Kotz'ei Ketzi'os?

(b) How did ...

  1. ... the Gonvei Ali and the Kotz'ei Ketzi'os outwit the Roman guards?
  2. ... the B'nei Salmai also do so?
(c) If the Pasuk in Mishlei writes "Zeicher Tzadik li'Verachah" with regard to these Tzadikim, to whom does "ve'Sheim Resha'im Yirkav" refer?
4)
(a) On the twenty-ninth of Av, the family of Pachas ben Yehudah donated wood for the Mizbei'ach. According to Rebbi Meir, Pachas ben Yehudah was none other than David ha'Melech.
Who was it in the opinion of Rebbi Yossi?

(b) On the twentieth of Elul, the family of Adin ben Yehudah donated wood for the Mizbei'ach. According to Rebbi Yehudah, Adin ben Yehudah was David ha'Melech.
Who was it, according to Rebbi Yossi?

(c) Why does it now appear that the author of our Mishnah, which states that Par'osh ben Yehudah donated wood for a second time, cannot be Rebbi Meir, Rebbi Yehudah or Rebbi Yossi?

(d) We conclude that in fact, the author of our Mishnah is Rebbi Yossi.
How is that possible?
