1)
(a) We already discussed the Seifa of our Mishnah 'ha'Metaher Yeino shel
Akum ve'Nosno bi'Reshuso', there where the Nochri writes the Yisrael a
receipt in advance of the payment. Under which two conditions does the
Reisha of the Mishnah permit the wine, even where he did not do so?
(b) He also permits it if a Yisrael guards the wine-press. Is the Yisrael
obligated to sit and watch the wine-press incessantly?
(c) What problem do we have with our Mishnah, which requires Yisre'elim to
specifically live in the town? Why ought the wine to be permitted even if
only Nochrim live there?
(d) So Shmuel establishes our Mishnah when the town-gates are kept locked.
How does that answer the Kashya? How will the Nochri know whether a Yisrael
is in town or not?
2)
(a) When Rav Yosef compares a window that opens to a Reshus-ha'Rabim, he
might mean that the Nochri's house opens out to the Chatzer and there is a
corresponding window in the wall between the street and the Chatzer. What
else might he mean?
(b) What else, beside a trash-heap, does Rav Yosef compare to a Reshus
ha'Rabim in this regard?
(c) Rav Acha and Ravina argue over a date-palm which has had its top cut
off, and there is no fruit to pick. What is then the reason of the one who
nevertheless permits the wine in the wine-press?

3)
(a) In a case where someone purchases or rents a house in a Chatzer
belonging to a Nochri, and he fills it with barrels of wine, what
distinction does the Beraisa make between whether a Yisrael lives in the
same Chatzer or a neighboring one?
(b) And what does the Beraisa say about a Yisrael who is Metaher the wine of
a Nochri in the Nochri's domain, and a Yisrael lives in the same Chatzer as
the Nochri?
(c) Why is the Tana more stringent in this case than in the previous one?
(d) What amendment did Rebbi Yochanan suggest to the Beraisa-expert to make
here?
4)
(a) And what does the Beraisa rule in the previous case, but where a Yisrael
lives in a neighboring Chatzer?
(b) The author of the Beraisa until now is Rebbi Meir. Why can the
Chachamim, who require a Shomer, not be referring to ...
- ... this last case?
- ... to the Reisha de'Seifa (where the Yisrael lives in the same Chatzer)?
(c) Then which case *do* the Chachamim refer to?
5)
(a) The Beraisa then equates the Din of a Shomer with a 'Memuneh ha'Ba
le'Kitzin'. Why can this not be correct?
(b) Then how do we amend it?
6)
(a) We learned in the Reisha of our Mishnah, ('ha'Metaher Yeino shel Akum
... be'Ir she'Kulah Ovdei-Kochavim'), that the Tana Kama forbids the Yisrael
to leave his wine in the Reshus of the Nochri. What does Rebbi Shimon ben
Elazar say?
(b) We ask whether he comes to be more lenient than the Tana Kama or more
strict? How will the two sides of the She'eilah affect the way we read Rebbi
Shimon ben Elazar's statement?
7)
(a) What does ...
- ... Rav Yehudah Amar Ze'iri mean when he says that Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar comes to be more lenient?
- ... Rav Nachman Amar Ze'iri mean when he says that he comes to be more strict?
(b) What is the reason for being strict? Why might we suspect that Nisuch
will take place in a third party's house?
(c) Which opinion has the support of a Beraisa? What does the Tana quote
Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar as saying?
8)
(a) Who was Parzak Rufila? What does 'Rufila' mean?
(b) On what basis did ...
- ... the Rabbanan think that, when Parzak Rufila's family deposited wine that Jews had purchased on credit, with their Arisim, the wine was permitted, even according to Rav Nachman, who holds 'Gomlin'?
- ... Rava disillusion them? Why did he forbid the wine even according to those who don't hold 'Gomlin'?
(c) What did Rava rule with regard to a Nochri who was found among barrels
of wine belonging to Jews (see Tosfos DH 'ha'Hu')?
(d) What did Rava mean when he said ...
- ... 'Chamra Shari'?
- ... 'Chamra Asur'?
