1)
(a) How do we attempt to prove Rebbi Yehudah Nesi'a (who requires 'Toch
K'dei Dibur' of 'Shalom Alechah Rebbi' plus) wrong' from our Mishnah, which
lists twice 'va'Ani'?
(b) Why is this not also a Kashya on Resh Lakish, according to whom the Tana
ought to have listed three?
(c) How do we refute the disproof from our Mishnah against Rebbi Yehudah
Nesi'a?
(d) Then why does the Tana mention even the second 'va'Ani'?
2)
(a) We have assumed until now that all subsequent Nodrim (who say 'va'Ani')
actually connect with the initial Noder. What is the alternative
explanation?
(b) What are the ramifications of this She'eilah?
(c) Is there a proof from our Mishnah, which only lists 'va'Ani' twice that
each one is connected to the original Noder?
(d) If the Tana holds that each Noder is connected to the previous one, why
does he say ...
- ... 'Hutar ha'Rishon, Hutru Kulan', implying that if the second one were to annul his Neder, the Neder of those following him would remain intact?
- ... 'Hutar ha'Acharon, ha'Acharon Mutar', implying that only the third one is permitted, but not those that follow him?
3)
(a) If, on the other hand, the Tana holds that all the Nodrim are connected
to the first one, why does he say with regard to the last one 'Hutar
ha'Acharon ... ', implying that if the middle one would annul his Neder, all
the subsequent ones would be permitted too (a proof for the second side of
the She'eilah)?
(b) Why does the Tana refer to the middle one as 'Acharon'?
(c) We finally cite a Beraisa, which learns specifically like the first side
of the She'eilah. What does the Beraisa teach us that is not contained in
our Mishnah?
Answers to questions
21b---------------------------------------21b
4)
(a) The Beraisa makes a distinction between someone who says 'Yedei Nezirah,
ve'Raglei Nezirah' and one who says 'Roshi Nezirah, Keveidi Nezirah'. The
former is not a Nazir, the latter is. Why is that?
(b) How does Rav Yehudah reconcile this with our Mishnah, which states 'Pi
ke'Fiv ve'Sa'ari ke'Sa'aro'? How does he establish our Mishnah?
5)
(a) What She'eilah do we ask concerning a husband's Hafarah of his wife's
Nedarim?
(b) What are the ramifications of this She'eilah?
(c) What other ramifications might we have stated?
(d) Seeing as a Chacham uproots the Neder retroactively, why might a husband
not be able to do so?
6)
(a) We initially try and prove that a husband annuls his wife's Nedarim
retroactively from the fact that, in our Mishnah, when a woman declared a
Neder Nezirus and, after saying 'va'Ani', her husband annulled her Neder,
his annulment is void (because he is not empowered to annul his own Nedarim,
as we explained earlier). Why in fact, will his Hafarah not be effective
even if it only works from now on?
(b) Under which condition will it nevertheless be effective?
7)
(a) The Beraisa discusses the Korbanos of a Nezirah whose husband has
annulled her Nezirus. What will happen to the animal which she designated as
her Chatas, after her husband annulled her Nezirus, assuming that the animal
was ...
- ... his? Why is that?
- ... hers?
(b) How do we try and resolve our She'eilah from here?
(c) We refute this proof however, on the basis of Rebbi Elazar ha'Kapar.
What does he say? How will that explain the Beraisa?
(d) Why should the Chatas nevertheless be sent in a field to graze, so that,
when it obtains a blemish, the owner will be able to redeem it?
8)
(a) How do we attempt to resolve our She'eilah from the next Mishnah, which
sentences a Nezirah who drank wine or made herself Tamei Meis to Malkos?
(b) On what grounds do we not at first want to establish the Beraisa when
her husband had not yet annulled her Nezirus?
9)
(a) Then how do we finally establish the Beraisa? Why is it now all right to
do so?
(b) Why does the Tana find it necessary to teach us that she does not
receive Malkos in this case? Is it not obvious?
(c) Why does the Tana not teach us a bigger Chidush still - that even if she
would have drunk wine or made herself Tamei Meis *before* her husband
annulled her Nezirus, she would not receive Malkos (seeing as we are
currently holding that her husband annuls her Nedarim retroactively)?
