1)
(a) Ula lists eight categories of Tereifah. What is his source for this?
(b) He lists Nekuvah, Pesukah, Netulah, Chasurah, Keru'ah, Derusah, Nefulah
and Shevurah. Which of the Shev Shema'ata is he coming to preclude?
(c) On what basis will we later consider infected lungs, Tereifah?
(d) Then why can we not incorporate infected kidneys in 'Nekuvah' too?
2)
(a) What is the difference between Netulah and Chasurah?
(b) In which of the above categories do we reckon ...
- ... G'ludah, Shaf mi'Duchteih (dislocated) and Nidaldelu Simanim?
- ... Nechtechah Raglehah?
- ... Akiras Tzela and Chavisas Gulgoles?
(c) Chiya bar Rabah incorporates eight Tereifos in Nekuvah. Why does he
not count ...
- ... Nekuvas ha'Marah (like our Mishnah does)?
- ... Nekuvas ha'Techol (like Rav Avira Amar Rava)?
(d) How does he account for the nine Nekuvos listed in our Mishnah (besides
Nekuvas ha'Marah)?
3)
(a) How does Rebbi Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef Amar Rebbi Yochanan rule with regard
to Nekuvas ha'Marah?
(b) How do the Rabbanan query Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Yehudah from the Pasuk in
Iyov "Yishpoch la'Aretz Mererasi"?
(c) According to Rebbi Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef Amar Rebbi Yochanan, what did
Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Yehudah reply? How did he support his answer with the
same Pasuk "Yefalach Kilyosai ve'Lo Yachmol"?
(d) What is the source of his answer?
4)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah that if the entire liver is removed and
nothing remains, the animal is Tereifah. Bearing in mind a contradiction
between this Mishnah and the following one (which we will discuss later),
what does Rebbi Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef Amar Rebbi Yochanan rule?
(b) What can we extrapolate from our Mishnah in this regard?
(c) Based on Rabah bar bar Chanah, who citing Rebbi Yochanan, rules
'Halachah ki'S'tam Mishnah', we query Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef Amar Rebbi
Yochanan's previous ruling. What do we answer?
(d) Seeing as both Mishnahs involved are S'tam Mishnahs, how do we know that
Rabah bar bar Chanah does not concede to Rebbi Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef in this
case?
5)
(a) What does Yitzchak b'Rav Yosef Amar Rebbi Yochanan say about ...
- ... a punctured gall-bladder which is blocked by the liver?
- ... the stomach of a bird which is punctured but its inner sac is not?
(b) They ask what the Halachah will be in the reverse case, where the sac is
punctutred but not the stomach. And they resolve it with a statement by Rav
Nachman. Which two points did Rav Nachman make regarding a bird's stomach
and its sac?
(c) What does Rabah rule in a case where only one of the two skins of the
Veshet is punctured?
(d) Why did he find it necessary to add that the outer one is red and the
inner one, white?
6)
(a) Mar Zutra quoting Rav Papa declares the animal Kasher, even if both
skins of the Veshet are punctured, as long as they are not punctured at the
same spot. What does he say about a bird whose stomach and inner sac are
both punctured but at different spots? Why is that?
(b) On what grounds does Rav Ashi object to Mar Zutra's distinction? Why
does he say exactly the opposite?
(c) What did Rav Acha b'rei de'Rav Yosef say to him?
(d) What does Rabah say about a membrane that grows on the Veshet as a
result of a wound, blocking the wound and preventing the food from escaping?

43b---------------------------------------43b
7)
(a) We already cited Rabah's ruling that one cannot examine a Veshet from
the outside. Why not?
(b) What are the ramifications of Rabah's ruling?
(c) What did Abaye exclaim when he found Rabah examining the outer skin of
the Veshet in a case of Safek Derusah?
8)
(a) What was Rabah's reaction to that? What did he discover?
(b) Why did he then initially examine it from the outside?
(c) Assuming that it was a bird, Rabah probably examined it by first
examining and Shechting the Kaneh (as we explained in the previous Perek).
What would he have had to do, if it was an animal?
(d) If we dismissed that possibility in the second Perek, why would it
nevertheless have been possible here?
9)
(a) What does Ula say about an animal in whose throat a thorn lodged?
(b) The Chidush is that we are not afraid 'Shema Hivri'. What might this
mean?
(c) We ask on what grounds Ula will differentiate between this case and
Safek Derusah (if Safek Derusah is Tereifah, why is this case Kasher)? To
which case of Safek Derusah are we referring?
(d) What do we answer? What does Ula hold in the case of Safek Derusah?
10)
(a) How do we explain the difference between Ula's case and that of someone
who ...
- ... eats one of two pieces of fat, one Cheilev and the other, Shuman, for which he is Chayav to bring an Asham Taluy?
- ... Shechts with a knife, which turns out to have a defect on it?
(b) We also query him from a case of Safek Tum'ah bi'Reshus ha'Yachid (which
is Tamei). How do we counter that?
(c) How do we therefore reconcile Ula with the rulings by Safek Tum'ah?
11)
(a) A certain Talmid-Chacham learned before Rav Kahana that Ula's previous
ruling is confined to where the thorn is found loose in the throat. What
will the Din then be if it is lodged there?
(b) What did Rav Kahana say to the people present?
(c) On what grounds did he disagree with the Talmid-Chacham?
12)
(a) According to Rav, a hole in the Turbatz ha'Veshet, like a hole in the
Veshet, renders the animal a Tereifah. What is the 'Turbatz ha'Veshet'?
(b) What does Shmuel say?
(c) What is the basis of their Machlokes?
(d) According to Shmuel, how does Hagramah apply to the Veshet?
13)
(a) According to Mari bar Mar Ukva Amar Shmuel, wherever one makes a cut and
it stretches is considered the Turbatz ha'Veshet. How does one then gauge
the Veshet itself?
(b) Rav Papi, quoting Rav Bibi bar Abaye defines the latter as Turbatz
ha'Veshet. How does he then define the Veshet?
(c) Rebbi Yonah Amar Rebbi Zeira is the most radical of all. How does he
define the Turbatz ha'Veshet (see also Mesores ha'Shas)?
(d) How restricted is that area?
14)
(a) Rava placed the Chumros of Rav and the Chumros of Shmuel on an ox
belonging to the sons of Rav Ukva. Why did he do that? What was the
problem?
(b) What do we mean by the Chumros of ...
- ... Rav?
- ... Shmuel?
(c) What did Rebbi Aba rule when the case came before him?
(d) What did he instruct the sons of Rav Ukva to tell the son of Rav Yosef
bar Chama? Who was the son of Rav Yosef bar Chama?
15)
(a) Why did Rebbi Aba order Rava to pay? What was his mistake?
(b) On what principle did he order him to do so?
(c) What makes this a D'var Mishnah?
(d) Why did Rava have to pay? Why did he not simply retract?
