1) The Gemara asks why the Mishnah in Bechoros needs to teach us that the baby to be born after the Sandel, is not a Bechor for Pidyon ha'Ben.

(a) What is the Gemara's Kashya?

(b) What does the Gemara answer?

(a) Considering that the woman is anyway obligated to bring a Korban for the baby that accompanies the Sandel, why must the Mishnah tell us that she needs to bring a Korban for the Sandel?

(b) In that case, why do we need the Mishnah?

(a) With regard to the above, what is the significance of the Beraisa which states that the two babies are wrapped together? (What problem does that create?)

(b) How does the Gemara resolve the difficulty, and how do we now explain the cases of both Bechorah and of Kerisus (Korban)?

(c) How does *he* learn the two cases?

(a) Why does Rebbi Shimon hold that a Shilya is not the sign of a baby and that the mother is Tehorah?

(b) What does a Shilya initially look like, and how does it ultimately look?

(c) What is its minimum size, and is it solid or hollow?

(a) What are the ramifications of the other four?

(b) Most of these are Mishnahs or Beraisos. Which one is a statement of the Amora'im?

(c) Why does Shilo Ish Kefar Tamarta list *two*?

(a) What do these two statements mean?

(b) Why is this Mishnah not included in the above list to make it five?

(c) What does that mean, and why is it not included in the above list?

(d) What does that mean, and why is it not included in the list?

7)

(a) Why does the list not incorporate the lid of the Aron, which was a Tefach thick?

(b) And why does it not include the case of a Koreh - a beam, which must be one Tefach, to serve as an Eiruv, to enable one to carry in a Mavuy?

(a) When does Rav say that if a woman discharges a Shilya more than three days after she has given birth, we suspect that maybe there is a second baby, and when does he say that we do not?

(b) What are the ramifications of the statement 've'Im La'av, Chosheshin li'Velad Acher' - assuming that the first baby was a girl?

(c) What does this mean, and why did this statement cause Shmuel to become upset with Rav Yehudah?

(a)What did Rebbi answer, when asked what whether one should connect the Shilya to the form of a raven that a woman had previously miscarried.

(b) And what if the Shilya was attached to the raven?

(c) What does the Gemara ask on this from a Beraisa?

(a) What is the reason for this?

(b) According to the Rabbanan of Rebbi Meir, who hold that a woman who miscarries any form of animal is not Temei'ah Leidah, what is the 'Chomer Shenei Velados' to which the Beraisa refers?
