Answers to questions

36b---------------------------------------36b

6)

(a) We asked earlier by what right Hillel countermanded the law of the Torah, which cancels all debts at the end of the Sh'mitah year, and Abaye established Hillel like Rebbi. Rava disagrees.
Like whom does he establish Hillel?

(b) How does he then answer the initial Kashya on Hillel? On what grounds does he establish Hillel even according to the Rabbanan, who hold that Shevi'is nowadays is d'Oraysa?

(c) We might learn 'Hefker Beis-Din Hefker' from the Pasuk in Ezra "ve'Chol Asher Lo Yavo li'Sheloshes ha'Yamim ... Yochoram Kol Rechusho". We might also learn it from the Pasuk in Yehoshua "ve'Roshei ha'Avos".
How do we learn it from there?

7)
(a) We ask whether Hillel instituted the Takanah of 'P'ruzbul' for his generation only, or for all generations.
What are the ramifications of this She'eilah?

(b) How do we attempt to resolve it from Shmuel, who states that Hillel's P'ruzbul is confined to the Beis-Din of Sura and Neherda'a? What does this prove?

(c) How do we refute this proof?

(d) Why do we now refer to the Beis-Din of Rav Ami and Rav Asi?

8)
(a) What did Shmuel mean when he referred to P'ruzbul as 'Ulbana de'Dayna'?

(b) He continues 'I Ayasher Chayil Avatlinei'.
What do we try to prove from here?

(c) How do we refute this proof?

(d) What did Rav Nachman mean when he said 'Akayminei', seeing as the Takanah was firmly established?

9)
(a) We cited Shmuel earlier who said 'Ha P'rusb'la Ulbana de'Dayna Hu', which we translated as 'Chutzpah'.
What alternative translation do we suggest?

(b) We repudiate the second suggestion by quoting Ula's statement 'Aluvah Kalah she'Zinsah be'Kerev Chupasah'.
What dies Ula's statement refer to?

(c) Rav Mari B'rah de'Bas Shmuel support's Ula from the Pasuk in Shir ha'Shirim "Ad she'ha'Melech bi'Mesibo, Nirdi Nasan Reicho".
How does Rava prove from this very Pasuk that Hashem still loves Yisrael?

10)
(a) What does the Pasuk in Shoftim say about people who 'hear their shame but do not respond ... '?

(b) What must they have done in addition, to earn such a description?

(c) What is 'P'ruzbul' the acronym of?

(d) How is 'P'ruzbul' for the benefit of the poor as well as for the rich?

11)
(a) To whom is the Torah referring when it writes in the Tochachah in Bechukosai "ve'Shacarti es Ge'on Uzchem"? What does this have to do with 'P'ruzbul'?

(b) What is the source for 'Buti' meaning the poor?

(c) What did that foreigner reply, when Rava asked him what 'P'rusbul' meant?
