What made her change her mind?

(c) What did she then do to stop the people from Davenning for Rebbi to survive?

(a) They sent Bar Kapara to see whether Rebbi was still alive.
What was the first thing he did upon discovering that he was dead?

(b) He then proclaimed 'Er'eilim u'Metzukim Achzu Aron ha'Kodesh. Nitzchu Er'eilim es ha'Metzukim ve'Nashvah Aron ha'Kodesh'.
Whom did he mean by the Er'eilim and the Metzukim?

(c) Who subsequently announced that Rebbi was dead?

What did he then declare?

(c) What is the significance of the fact that "Yanuchu" is written in the plural?

(a) According to Rebbi Elazar, this is said by the third group of angels who comes to greet *every* Tzadik. The first group says to him 'Bo be'Shalom'. What does the second group say?

(b) There are also three groups that come to greet a Rasha. The first one says to him "Ein Shalom, Amar Hashem la'Resha'im"; the second, "le'Ma'atzeivah Tishkevun" (both in Yeshayah). The third group quotes him a Pasuk in Yechezkel.
What is it?

(a) In the opinion of Rebbi Meir quoting Raban Shimon ben Gamliel, as long as the Almanah resides in her father's house, she may claim her Kesuvah at any time.
Until when may an Almanah who resides in her husband's house claim it?

(b) What do the Chachamim say?

(c) What is the basis of their Machlokes?

(d) Should she die, how long do her heirs have, to claim her Kesuvah?

(a) Abaye asked Rav Yosef whether, according to Rebbi Meir, a wealthy woman like Marsa bas Baytus will also lose her Kesuvah after twenty-five years, just like a poor one.
Why should there be a difference between a poor woman and a wealthy one?

(b) What did Rav Yosef reply?

(c) He also asked him whether this meant that, if she came before sunset of the twenty-five year period, she would still receive her Kesuvah, whereas if she came after sunset (only a few minutes later) she would not.
What did Rav Yosef answer him?

(d) They asked (according to Rebbi Meir) 'Mahu she'Teshalesh'?, and remain with a 'Teiku'.
What is the She'eilah?

(a) According to Rav Yehudah Amar Rav quoting ... Rebbi Yossi, the Chachamim (according to whom the twenty-five year period is because of Mechilah) only said their Din when the Almanah does not have a Sh'tar Kesuvah, but when she does, she may claim forever.
Why is that?

(b) What does the Tana of the Beraisa mean when he says that a creditor may claim she'Lo be'Hazkarah'?

(c) What does Rav Sheishes infer from there, and what does he then go on to ask on Rebbi Elazar, who disagrees with Rav Yehudah Amar Rav, and does not differentiate between an Almanah who has a Sh'tar Kesuvah and one who doesn't?

(d) We establish the Beraisa when the creditor does not have a Sh'tar. Then on what basis does he claim?

2. ... Rav Huna think that he may have meant?

(a) Rav Chiya Aricha was the sole heir of his brother, who had married his mother-in-law and died leaving no children.
