4)
(a) What does the Mishnah later say about a Chazakah she'Ein Imah Ta'anah?
What is a 'Chazakah she'Ein Imah Ta'anah'?
(b) If we learn the Din of Chazakah from Shor ha'Mu'ad, why is it not
effectivein the case of a Chazakah she'Ein Imah Ta'anah?
(c) The effectiveness of a Chazakah is based on the fact that if the
original owner did not sell his field to the Machzik, then he should have
made a Mecha'ah. What is 'a Mecha'ah'?
5)
(a) Does a Mecha'ah need to be made in the presence of the Machzik?
(b) Can a Shor become a Mu'ad not in the presence of the ox and its owner?
(c) Seeing as the Holchei Usha learn Chazakah from a Shor Mu'ad, how do they
explain the fact that on the ...
- ... one hand, a Shor Mu'ad requires warning in the owner's presence?
- ... other, the Machzik does not?
6)
(a) What does Rebbi Meir say about an animal that gores three times in one
day?
(b) According to Rebbi Meir, why will the Machzik not acquire the field if
he eats for example, three lots of ...
- ... figs in one day?
- ... fruit of the caper-bush in three days (some say in one)? What makes this case slightly different than the previous case?
(c) Why will he not acquire the field if he picks three produces Aspasta (a
sort of animal fodder that grows quickly) in one month?
(d) And what will be the Din if he eats three produces in *three* months?
7)
(a) The Rabbanan of Rebbi Yishmael (Holchei Usha) clearly have a different
source for the Chazakah of Karka. Initially, we cite that source as the
Pasuk in Yirmiyah "Sados ba'Sefer Yiknu ve'Chasuv ve'Chasum ... ". How
might the Rabbanan learn Chazakah from there? In which year of Chizkiyah
ha'Melech's reign was this said, and which year was the Navi referring to?
(b) How does Abaye reject this Pasuk as a possible source?
(c) How does he prove his point from the continuation of the Pasuk "Banu
Batim ... "?
(d) And what else does the Pasuk there say that bears this out still
further?
