1)
(a) Under which circumstances does the Beraisa permit the hirer to take his
Mezuzah with him when he leaves the apartment?
(b) What happened to a certain hirer who took down his Mezuzah upon leaving
the apartment?
(c) How come the Tana cites this incident after having taught us the
concession of taking down one's Mezuzah should a Nochri rent the apartment
after him? Why did he cite an incident which contradicts the Halachah?
2)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah that the droppings in the courtyard belongs
to the owner. Whose is the Chatzer (is it rented to the hirer)? Whose oxen
dropped the droppings?
(b) The Chidush coincides with a statement of Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina.
What did Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina say about a person's Chatzer?
(c) How will Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina explain the Beraisa 'Kol Metzi'os
she'Yava'o le'Tocho ha'Yom, Tikneh Li Chatzeri, Lo Amar K'lum'?
(d) Then how will he account for the Seifa 'Yatza Lo Shem Metzi'a ba'Ir,
Devarav Kayamin'?
3)
(a) Another Beraisa declares the droppings that he finds in the oven and
those that he collects in a vessel from the air in the Chatzer (as it drops
from the animal) to be the hirer's. What does the Tana say about the
droppings that the hirer finds in the stable or in the Chatzer?
(b) To reconcile Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina with the middle Din (of
droppings in the air, which ought to belong to the owner, according to him),
Abaye establishes the Beraisa when the hirer places his vessel right next to
the cow, so that the droppings fall immediately into it. What does Rava
say?
(c) What did Rava himself (in the first Perek) ask regarding someone who
throws a Hefker purse through the front door of a house, and the purse flies
through the house and out the back door?
(d) How will we reconcile his current statement (where he is sure) with that
She'eilah (where he is not)?
4)
(a) Why does the Tana of the Beraisa find it necessary to teach us that both
the droppings in the Chatzer and in the stable belong to the owner? Why will
one of them not suffice (See also Tosfos DH 'Tarti')?
(b) What does Rav Ashi extrapolate from the fact that the Tana presents the
case of 'Refes she'ba'Chatzer', and not that of 'she'be'Chatzer' alone?
(c) What does the Tana of yet another Beraisa say about the birds that one
finds in somebody's dovecote as regards ...
- ... the Mitzvah of Shilu'ach ha'Ken?
- ... the Aveirah of Gezel?
(d) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei (in connection with
Shilu'ach ha'Ken) "Ki Yikarei" which appears to clash with this ruling
according to Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina?
5)
(a) Rava replies that the Tana is speaking when most of the egg has emerged
from the chicken, but not all of it. How does that answer the Kashya?
(b) We suggest that, if that is so, 'Chayavos Mishum Gezel' refers (not to
the eggs, but) to the mother. Why does the owner acquire it because of
Darkei Shalom? Why not min ha'Torah?
(c) How might the Tana be referring even to the eggs?
6)
(a) Alternatively, we establish the Beraisa even when the eggs are already
lying in the Chatzer, yet the owner still does not acquire them. What does
Rav Yehudah Amar Rav learn from the Pasuk there "Shale'ach Teshalach es
ha'Eim (ve'Hadar) ve'es ha'Banim Tikach Lach", that will explain this?
(b) So the Tana must therefore be speaking when the owner of the Chatzer has
not yet sent the mother away. In that case, why does he acquire the eggs
even because of Darkei Shalom, seeing as he is bound by the Mitzvah to send
the mother away? To whom must the Beraisa therefore be referring?
(c) Since when is a Katan subject to Darkei Shalom?
7)
(a) If Reuven rents his Chatzer to Shimon for a year, and it turns out to be
a leap year, who gains the extra month, according to the Tana Kama of our
Mishnah?
(b) What did Raban Shimon ben Gamliel and Rebbi Yossi there rule in a case
that occurred in Tzipori, when someone hired a bath-house at twelve golden
Dinrim per annum, one Dinar per month?

8)
(a) How do we reconcile the Seifa of our Mishnah, where the episode brought
there clashes with the Reisha, which grants the right of the thirteenth
month to the hirer?
(b) On what basis would Rav, had he been there, have given the rights of the
thirteenth month entirely to the owner in the Seifa?
(c) What do we then ask on Rav?
9)
(a) What did Rav rule in a case where someone agrees to pay for a certain
article ...
- ... 'Astira Me'ah Ma'i'?
- ... 'Me'ah Ma'i Astira'?
(b) How much is ...
- ... an Astira?
- ... a Ma'ah (in this Sugya)?
(c) If the reason there had not been because of 'T'fos Lashon Acharon', then
what would it have been?
(d) What would the owner then have meant when he said ...
- ... 'Astira Me'ah Ma'i'?
- ... 'Me'ah Ma'i Astira'?
10)
(a) Shmuel establishes the Seifa of our Mishnah when the owner comes in the
middle of the thirteenth month and asks the hirer to leave. What would be
the Din if he came ...
- ... at the beginning of the month?
- ... at the end of the month?
(b) Shmuel is uncertain whether 'T'fos Lashon Rishon' or 'T'fos Lashon
Acharon'. What is then his reason ...
- ... in our Mishnah?
- ... in each of the other two cases?
(c) What do Rav and Shmuel say in a case where Reuven sells Shimon a Kur of
wheat ...
- ... for thirty Sela'im? Up to which point does Reuven have the right to retract?
- ... for thirty Sela'im, but adds 'Sa'ah be'Sela'?
(d) Is this not a proof that Shmuel agrees with Rav and holds 'T'fos Lashon
Acharon'?
11)
(a) Rav Nachman rules that 'Karka be'Chezkas Ba'alehah Omedes' (meaning that
the law is on the side of the owner). Does this mean that he agrees with
Rav (who holds 'T'fos Lashon Acharon')?
(b) What will Rav Nachman hold if the owner comes only at the end of the
month? Can he claim the rental for the thirteenth month?
12)
(a) They asked Rebbi Yanai what the Din will be if the hirer claims to have
paid his rental, and the owner countered that he has not. This She'eilah
pertain neither to the middle of the term of rental nor to after its
termination, because both of these cases are already contained in a Mishnah.
To which case then, does the She'eilah pertain?
(b) What does the Mishnah in Bechoros say about a Bechor whose father died
...
- ... before the thirty-first day?
- ... after that?
(c) Under which circumstances will the Bechor in the latter case be
obligated to redeem himself when he grows up?
(d) What are the two sides of the She'eilah they asked Rebbi Yanai?
13)
(a) Rebbi Yochanan resolved the She'eilah from a Mishnah in the next Perek.
What does the Tana say there about an employee who claims on the day that
his contract terminates, that he has not yet been paid, and the employer
counters that he paid earlier?
(b) Why does the employee swear and not the employer, as is normally the
case (as we learned earlier)?
(c) How does Rebbi Yochanan resolve the She'eilah from there?
(d) What sort of Shevu'ah is Rebbi Yochanan referring to?
