Chagigah 7

1)

(a) We learned in a Mishnah in Pei'ah: 'ha'Pei'ah, ve'ha'Bikurim, ve'ha'Ra'ayon ... Ein Lahem Shiur'.
Which other two must be added to the list?

(b) Is this only mi'd'Oraysa or even mi'de'Rabbanan?

(c) What did Rebbi Yochanan initially contend with regard to Ra'ayon? What is Ra'ayon?

(d) Who corrected Rebbi Yochanan? What did he say?

2)
(a) According to Resh Lakish, Ra'ayon means appearing in the Azarah with a Korban.
What does Rebbi Yochanan say? Why does he say that?

(b) In which case does Rebbi Yochanan agree with Resh Lakish?

(c) According to Rebbi Yochanan, is one permitted to bring an Olas Re'iyah on the subsequent days of Yom-Tov, if he so wishes?

(d) Then what is their Machlokes?

3)
(a) How does Rebbi Yochanan establish the Pasuk in Mishpatim "ve'Lo Yeira'u Panai Reikam"?

(b) How does the Tana of the Beraisa know that the above Pasuk refers to animals and not to birds and flour-offerings?

(c) And how does he know that it is referring to Olos and not Shelamim?

(d) Why is that the correct thing to do?

4)
(a) What Derashah does the Tana of another Beraisa make from "Yeira'eh" "Yir'eh" that disproves our original interpretation of Resh Lakish's opinion (that Ra'ayon means appearing in the Azarah specifically with a Korban)?

(b) We now retract from our original interpretation of the Machlokes. In fact, even Resh Lakish agrees that someone who comes without an Olas Re'iyah still performs a Mitzvah.
What then, is the Machlokes between Rebbi Yochanan and Resh Lakish?

(c) Resh Lakish explains the Pasuk in Mishlei "Hokar Raglecha mi'Beis Rei'echa" (which seems to suggest that one should rather bring less Korbanos than more) like Levi.
How does Levi resolve the apparent discrepancy between this Pasuk and the Pasuk in Tehilim "Avo Beisecha be'Olos"?

(d) Whom does the Beraisa support, Rebbi Yochanan or Resh Lakish?

Answers to questions

7b---------------------------------------7b

5)

(a) Rav Yosef initially explains the Beraisa, which says 've'Ein Nir'in la'Chatza'in' to mean that someone who has ten sons, should not bring five of them to the Azarah on one day of Yom-Tov, and the other five on another day.
What objection does Abaye raise to that?

(b) Abaye therefore establishes the Derashah like Acheirim.
What does Acheirim Darshen from "Kol Zechurcha"?

6)
(a) Our Mishnah writes that the Olas Re'iyah must be bought with Chulin money.
Is this peculiar to the Olas Re'iyah?

(b) To which Shelamim is the Tana referring when he says 've'ha'Shelamim min ha'Ma'aser'?

(c) According to Beis Shamai, the Chagigah of the first day of Pesach must be purchased from Chulin money.
What do Beis Hillel say?

7)
(a) A Yisrael can fulfill his obligation with Nedarim, Nedavos and with an animal of Ma'aser Beheimah.
Which obligation is the Tana referring to?

(b) Can a Kohen fulfill his obligation with the Chata'os and Ashamos or the Chazeh ve'Shok that they receive from a Yisrael?

(c) Is one Yotze Simchah on Yom-Tov ...

  1. ... with the meat of birds?
  2. ... with Menachos?
8)
(a) What problem do we have with the Lashon of our Mishnah 'Olos be'Mo'ed Ba'os min ha'Chulin'?

(b) On what grounds do we refute the suggestion that the Tana says 'be'Mo'ed', because bringing Olos (even Olos Re'iyah) on Yom-Tov is prohibited altogether?

9)
(a) Which of the Korbanos discussed in this Perek do Beis Shamai permit on Yom-Tov?

(b) What do Beis Shamai learn from ...

  1. ... "Lachem" (Bo)?
  2. ... "be'Mo'ado" (Pinchas)?
(c) Beis Shamai prohibit Semichah on Shalmei Chagigah and Simchah.
Why?

(d) Beis Hillel permit all three Korbenos Yachid of Yom-Tov to be brought on Yom-Tov (but not Nedarim and Nedavos).
In view of what we just said, why do they permit Semichah?

10)
(a) We answer the Kashya from 'Olos be'Mo'ed Ba'os min ha'Chulin' (see 8a.) with the classical answer 'Chasurei Mechsera, ve'Hachi Katani'.
According to the new text, which two categories of Korban are confined to Chol ha'Mo'ed (but forbidden on Yom-Tov)?

(b) We learned in our Mishnah that the Chagigah of the first day of Pesach must be purchased with Chulin money, implying that that of the fourteenth need *not*.
What can we learn from this?
