1)
(a) Rebbi Yochanan asked Shmuel whether Aveilus applied on Shabbos or not.
What did he reply?
(b) What did Rav Papa comment when the Rabbanan declared 'Aveil she'Shimesh
Mitaso, Chayav Misah'?
(c) Shmuel learned this from a Pasuk in Shemini. What does the Pasuk say
there?
(d) What happened to that man who could not restrain himself from Tashmish
ha'Mitah during Aveilus?
2)
(a) Shmuel said 'Pa.Cha.Z. Chovah, Ne.Se.R. Reshus'. What did he mean by
'Pa.Cha.Z. Chovah'? When does this apply? What is the reason for it?
(b) 'Ne.Se.R.' stands for 'Ne'ilas ha'Sandal, Tashmish ha'Mitah and
Rechitzas Yadayim ve'Raglayim be'Chamin Arvis'. Why are these too not
obligatory, like the first set?
(c) Rav disagrees with Shmuel regarding P'ri'as ha'Rosh. According to him,
P'ri'as ha'Rosh is *not* obligatory on Shabbos, since some people cover
their heads anyway, even when they are not Aveilim. On what grounds does
Shmuel hold that it *is*? Why should it be any different than wearing shoes,
which not everybody does on Shabbos (and which is therefore not obligatory
for an Aveil)? What is the Shiur of Atifas Yishme'eilim?
(d) Under which condition does Rebbi Yochanan permit an Aveil to cover his
head on Shabbos, even according to Shmuel, who normally requires uncovering
it?
3)
(a) When is the time to tear Kri'ah, according to Shmuel?
(b) Then why did he himself tear twelve garments when he heard that Rav had
died?
(c) Who else tore twelve fine woolen garments for the same reason? For whom
was *he* tearing K'ri'ah?
(d) How do we reconcile Shmuel's statement with the Beraisa quoted by Rav
Amram, which states that whenever an Aveil changes his clothes during the
Shiv'ah, he is obligated to tear K'ri'ah again?
4)
(a) What is the Din regarding wearing on Shabbos ...
- ... the garment that one tore for one's parents?
- ... a fresh garment that has not yet been torn? Is he now obligated to tear K'ri'ah after Shabbos?
(b) Rav Oshaya's father and Bar Kapara argue over the Din with regard to the
additional tears that he makes later for his parents. What is their
Machlokes?
(c) Rav Oshaya holds that the garment may not be re-sewn. What do we try
to prove from there (regarding the above Machlokes)?
(d) How do we refute that proof?
5)
(a) What is the significance of Rava's statement, that an Aveil may wear a
torn garment in the house on Shabbos?
(b) Abaye asked Rav Yosef why, as an Aveil, he covered his head with a Sudar
in the house on Shabbos. What did he reply?
6)
(a) Rav Gidal bar Menashyah Amar Shmuel rules like Raban Gamliel in our
Mishnah with regard to Rosh Hashanah and Yom-Kipur. What did Raban Gamliel
say?
(b) Others quote Rav Gidal bar Menashyah with regard to the Beraisa in
Semachos, which deals with the burial of a little baby. How is a baby of
less than thirty days that dies, carried to the Beis Olam?
(c) According to the Tana Kama, he is buried with one woman and two men.
Why not two women and one man?
(d) What does Aba Shaul say? On what grounds does he argue with the Tana
Kama (See Tosfos DH 'Aba Shaul').
