Gitin 34

GITIN 34 & 35 - The Dafim have been sponsored by Rabbi Dr. Eli Turkel and his wife, Jeri Turkel. May Hashem bless them with many years of Simcha, health and fulfillment, and may they see all of their children and grandchildren follow them in the ways of Torah and Yir'as Shamayim!

1)

(a) What do Beis-Din do when minors come to divide their father's property, to ensure that they get a fair deal?

(b) Rav Nachman Amar Shmuel permits the children to revoke the agents' division when they grow up.
What does Rav Nachman himself say?

(c) How do we reconcile Rav Nachman's previous ruling like Rebbi, who validates the husband's cancellation of the Sheli'ach of the Get even not in his presence, thereby overturning Raban Gamliel's Takanah, with his current ruling, which maintains 'im-Kein, Mah Ko'ach Beis-Din Yafeh'?

2)
(a) What was Gidul bar Re'ila'i's wife doing when his Sheli'ach arrived with her Get?

(b) What did the Sheli'ach do when she told him to 'go now and come back tomorrow'?

(c) How did Gidul bar Re'ila'i react when the Sheli'ach returned with the Get?

3)
(a) According to Abaye, 'Baruch ha'Tov ve'ha'Meitiv' did not constitute Bitul (and the Sheli'ach was still authorized to take the Get back to his wife).
What does Rava say?

(b) What is the basis of their Machlokes?

4)
(a) Rava proved his opinion from an incident with Rav Sheishes.
What did Rav Sheishes rule when the man whom he had forced to write a Get for his wife declared that Rav Sheishes had ordered the Get to be canceled?

(b) On what grounds does Abaye refute Rava's proof?

(c) So what really happened there?

5)
(a) Abaye proves his point from an incident with Rav Yehudah, who was having trouble with Rebbi Yirmiyah Bira'ah's son-in-law.
What did Rebbi Yirmiyah Bira'ah's son-in-law do twice, after Rav Yehudah had forced him to write a Get for his wife?

(b) What did Rav Yehudah then instruct the witnesses to do before their third attempt to write the Get?

(c) How does Abaye prove his opinion from here? What did the husband do that appears to prove Rava wrong?

(d) How did Rava repudiate Abaye's proof from here?

6)
(a) We already learned the case of the man who was prevented from returning within thirty days to prevent the Get he had given his wife from being valid, because he could not find the river- crossing.
What does Abaye learn from Shmuel, who ruled there 'Lo Sh'mei Meisaya'?

(b) How does Rava refute Abaye's proof?

(c) We cite a case of a man who gave his betrothed a Get stipulating that it would be valid if he did not marry her within thirty days.
How does the case end?

(d) Why was the Get valid, considering ...

  1. ... that he was an O'nes?
  2. ... that he revealed his intention to marry her, only he was prevented from doing so?
7)
(a) How do we rule in the Machlokes between Rav Nachman and ...
  1. ... Rav Sheishes regarding whether two are needed to cancel a Get or three?
  2. ... Rebbi Aba regarding whether we follow the opinion of Raban Shimon ben Gamliel regarding 'Bitlo Mevutal' and like Rebbi regarding 'Yachol Levatel Zeh she'Lo Bifnei Zeh' or whether we follow the opinion of Rebbi in both points?
(b) And how do we rule in the Machlokes between Abaye and Rava with regard to Giluy Da'as be'Gitin?

(c) Why was Abaye called 'Nachmeini'?
