Previous daf

Eruvin 41

ERUVIN 41 - was generously dedicated by an anonymous donor in Los Angeles.

1)

(a) When Tish'ah be'Av falls on Sunday, the restrictions of not eating two cooked dishes and not eating meat or drinking wine on Erev Tish'ah be'Av do not apply.
Which restrictions apply when Tish'ah be'Av falls on Shabbos?

(b) According to Rebbi Yehudah's testimony, what did Rebbi Akiva do, on Tish'ah be'Av that fell on Friday, and why did he do that?

(c) What proof does Rebbi Yossi bring that one is forbidden to break one's fast before nightfall - even on Shabbos?

(d) How do the Rabbanan refute his proof?

2)
(a) What did Raban Gamliel rule with regard to fixing a Ta'anis on Rosh Chodesh, Chanukah or Purim?

(b) What does one do if the series of fast-days began some time before?

(c) What did Rebbi Meir add in Raban Gamliel's name?

(d) What did Rebbi Yehoshua attempt to do after Rebbi Gamliel's death, and on what grounds did Rebbi Yochanan ben Nuri object to that?

(3)
(a) What is then the problem with Ula ruling like Rebbi Yossi with regard to Tish'ah be'Av that fell on Friday?

(b) How do we reconcile Ula with the above Beraisa?

4)
(a) What is the significance of Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Tzadok's statement that he was from the descendants of San'av ben Binyamin? In what regard did he say this?

(b) What was his story, what was he coming to testify, and what do we deduce from his statement with regard to a regular Tish'ah be'Av?

(c) Considering that Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Tzadok was a contemporary of Raban Gamliel, what problem do we have with this?

(d) The Gemara differentiates between fasting on the day before a Yom-Tov de'Rabanan and fasting on Erev Shabbos.
What is in fact, the difference between them.

5)
(a) What did Rav Yosef comment on Ula's ruling like Rebbi Yossi?

(b) Abaye tries to prove that Rav Yosef was indeed aware of this ruling, and that he even agreed with it - from the statement issued earlier, with regard to a Ta'anis that was fixed on Erev Shabbos, Rosh Chodesh, Chanukah or Purim, and to which Rav Yosef, quoting Rav, added 'Zu Divrei Rebbi Meir ... Aval Chachamim Omrim, Mis'aneh u'Mashlim'.
What is his proof from there?

(c) How does the Gemara refute Abaye's proof?

(d) Assuming that there *is* a proof from there, why did Rav Huna not quote Rav when Rabah initially asked him the Sha'aleh?

(e) What *is* the Gemara's final ruling in this matter?

Hadran Alach 'ba'Kol Me'arvin'!
