(d) What do the Chachamim say?

(a) The Gemara reconciles our Mishnah, which considers a Se'udas Erusin a Mitzvah, with the Beraisa, which considers it a Se'udas Reshus, in two ways (either according to Rebbi Yossi, or according to Rebbi Yehudah, respectively) .
What are they?

(b) What is a Se'udas Savlonos?

1. Rebbi Yehoshua, who became sick;

(c) What do we learn from the Pasuk in Amos: "ve'Ochlim Karim mi'Tzon ve'Agalim Mitoch Marbek ... Lachen Ata Yigalu be'Rosh Kol Golim"?

(d) The Amora'im had the most derogatory titles for Talmidei-Chachamim who spend too much time at the dinner-table.
What other devastating results can Talmidei-Chachamim expect, besides the destruction of their houses, and death of their spouses and children, if they forget their priorities and andulge in such material pursuits?

(b) In what connection does the Gemara cite the Mashal ...

(a) Rebbi Elazar permits tearing open an Am ha'Aretz on Yom Kipur (though this cannot be understood literally - see Agados Maharsha), and forbids accompanying him on a journey.
What is the reason for the latter Din?

(b) Why did he say 'tear him apart' and not 'Shecht him'?

(a) Rebbi Akiva revealed through first-hand experience that it was really the Amei-ha'Aretz who hated the Talmidei-Chachamim more than the Talmidei- Chachamim hate them.
What did he used to say when he was an Am ha'Aretz?

(b) Why did he say 'like a donkey' and not 'like a dog'?

(c) In which way does Rebbi Meir compare someone who marries off his daughter to an Am ha'Aretz, to tying her up in front of a lion?

(d) If the Amei-ha'Aretz hated the Talmidei-Chachamim to such an extent, then why did they not kill them?

(a) To what does the Beraisa quoted by Rebbi Chiya, compare someone who studies Torah in the presence of an Am ha'Aretz, and why?

(b) Amei ha'Aretz hate Talmidei-Chachamim more than gentiles do.
Who hates them even more?

(c) Which kind of Am ha'Aretz hates the Talmid-Chacham the most, and why is that?

What are the remaining three?

(b) Why does the Tana Kama disagree with the Yesh Omrim, who adds that one does not return his lost articles, to the list?

(a) In our Mishnah, Rebbi Meir considers a k'Beitzah a significant Shiur, and Rebbi Yehudah, even a k'Zayis. Yet when it comes to Zimun (Birchas ha'Mazon), they seem to reverse their opinions. Rebbi Yochanan answers 'Muchlefes ha'Shitah'.
What does he mean by that?

(b) Abaye disagrees with Rebbi Yochanan. According to him, Birchas ha'Mazon is different, because the Torah writes in Eikev "ve'Achalta ve'Sa'Va'ata u'Verachta".
How does ...

1. ... Rebbi Meir explain this Pasuk?
2. ... Rebbi Yehudah explain it?

(c) What are the respective reasons of Rebbi Meir (who considers a k'Beitzah important in our Sugya) and Rebbi Yehudah (who considers a k' Zayis important)?
