Zevachim 96

ZEVACHIM 96 - dedicated by Jeri and Eli Turkel in honor of the Bris of Binyamin Yitzchak, who was born to their nephews Kenny and Aliza Weinblatt in Teaneck, NJ. Mazel Tov also to the grandparents, Lee and Marcia Weinblatt.

1)

(a) Based on Rav's distinction between an oven and a pot that we just discussed, what do we rule with regard to a Kuvya (or Buchya)? What is a Kuvya?

(b) On the other hand, we ask why it iss necessary to break the earthenware pots in the Azarah.
How do we suggest they might be saved?

(c) Why does this suggestion not clash with the Pasuk "u'K'li Cheres Yishaver"?

(d) Why must this suggestion assume that the Torah does not forbid Bishul without Beli'ah?

2)
(a) How does Rebbi Zeira answer the Kashya (about returning the pots to a kiln in Yerushalayim)?

(b) What did Abaye retort to Rebbi Zeira's answer?

(c) But he seemed to have forgotten the Beraisa cited by Rav Shemayah in Kalnebo.
What did the Beraisa say about the broken pieces of earthenware in the Azarah?

3)
(a) Now that we learned how earthenware ovens can be Kashered by re-heating, back comes the question why the ovens in the Azarah had to be made of metal, and not of earthenware.
How do we finally answer it?

(b) And we add that this goes even according to Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Yehudah.
What does Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Yehudah say?

What Chumra does ...
