KIDUSHIN 82 (Grand Siyum of Seder Nashim!) - dedicated by Rabbi Ari and
Esther Maryles in profound gratitude to Hashem on the occasion of the birth
of their triplets, Shimon Simchah, Mordechai Leib, and Bayla Malka Rus. May
they grow up to be proud bearers of their illustrious heritage and aspire to
the greatness of their ancestors, including the Rebbe of Yoruslav
(Jaroslaw), Rebbi Shimon Maryles, and the Rebbe of Litovisk, Rebbi Naftali
Maryles.

she'Asakav im ha'Nashim, Lo Yisyached im ha'Nashim'?

Misyached with two women, what is this Mishnah coming to teach us?

4)
(a) Rebbi Meir advises that one teaches one's son a trade which is 'Nekiyah
ve'Kalah'.
What does this mean?

to the One to whom wealth and property belong?
(c) What does Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar prove from wild animals and birds?
(d) Then how is it that we often encounter great difficulty in our efforts
to sustain ourselves?
5)

with teaching one's son to become a donkey-driver, a camel-driver, a potter,
a sailor, a shepherd or a store-keeper? What do all these professions have
in common?

- ... in Tehilim "Od Yenuven be'Seivah"?

7)
(a) What does the Beraisa say about someone whose occupation is mainly with
women?
(b) The list includes goldsmiths (who make golden ornaments for women),
teaselers (who comb women's clothes), cleaners of hand-mills (used mainly by
women), peddlers, weavers, barbers (whom the women need to cut their
children's hair) and laundry-men.
What are the last three on the list?
(c) The Tana also invalidates them from being crowned king (and perhaps
Kohen Gadol too).
Why is that?

What do the fact that he
walks with his nose in the air, that he has an air of arrogance and that he

(d) What is the reason that he ...
- ... eats a lot?

referring to the fact that the women need him, as we explained earlier.
But what does he mean when he adds that they are also suspect on ...
