1)
(a) On what grounds does Rav Yehudah Amar Rav confine the Din in our Mishnah
(permitting a woman to seclude herself with two men) to when they are in
town? What will be the Din when they are on a journey?
(b) Do we have proof for Rav Yehudah Amar Rav from the Mishnah in Sotah,
which requires two Talmidei-Chachamim to accompany the Sotah and her husband
(totaling three) to Yerushalayim?
(c) How did Rav Yehudah respond when Rav suggested that they hurry to
overtake the woman who was walking in front of them on the way?

2)
(a) What does Rav mean when he says ...
- ... Malkin al ha'Yichud?
- ... ve'Ein Osrin al ha'Yichud?
(b) And what does Rav Ashi mean when he restricts this to the Yichud of a
Penuyah, but not to that of a married woman?
(c) But what are we worried about? Had she been guilty, Beis-Din would have
sentenced her to death (and not Malkos)?
3)
(a) Rav Nachman from Farhatya asked Rav Ashi why he did not do like Mar
Zutra, who used to administer Malkos even to married women, only he would
first announce that the Malkos was for the Yichud, and not for having
committed adultery.
What was his reply?
(b) What does Rav extrapolate from the Pasuk in Shmuel "Al Banai Ki Lo Tovah
ha'Shemu'ah"?

his wife descended from the attic, did Rav Bibi instruct them to remove the
ladder leading from the attic to the house?

the inner room, there is no Isur Yichud.

(b) Why is there an Isur Yichud in the reverse case?
(c) The Beraisa says precisely the opposite.
On what grounds is the Tana
...
- ... concerned about Yichud when the men are in the outer room and the women, in the inner room?
- ... not concerned about Yichud in the reverse case?
(d) How did Abaye therefore rule in the above cases?

time of year?

and placed them in the care of Rav Amram, who took charge of seeing that
they were redeemed?

ladder leading up to the attic, how did he manage to climb up at all?
(c) What did Rav Amaram reply when the Rabbanan accused him of embarrassing
them?

am stronger than you'? To whom was he speaking?

side of the River for Rebbi Meir and on top of a date-palm for Rebbi Akiva?
