day?
Monday, Thursday, or Shabbos
2) On which day(s) can the 14th fall out to have the and reading on the
same day?
Friday
3) Why would the go into town on Mondays and Thursdays? ()"
Because the courts were open as per takanas Ezra
4) Why cant the just read themselves? ()"
They were not bekiim in reading the megillah
5) Why cant the be read on "( ?here and later)
As a gezeirah lest you come to carry it
6) Explain the s rhetorical question of )"( !
The fact that the Chachamim allowed you to read early is not a chiiuv, it is a kula.
7) Why were the on the to allow them to read on the ?
For they would go into town to provide food for the bnei ayaros for the Purim Seudah
8) How does the prove that the must have been the ones who established all
the dates for reading the , including 11-13?
For otherwise, how could a later beis din come along and nullify the words of an earlier beis din,
unless they are greater than them in chachma and minyan
9) Where is there a for reading the early? (both )
A- R Shemen bar Abba amar R Yochanan- Likayem Es Yemei Hapurim Haeleh
Bizmaneihem B- R Shmuel bar Nachmani- Kayamim Asher Nachu Vahem
Hayehudim
10) Why dont we need a to include the possibility of reading on the 13th of ?
For that was the yom kehilla, and the day of the ikar neis
11) Explain how the two are mutually exclusive. (Meaning, explain why ' does
not hold like ' and vice-versa.)
R Shmuel bar Nachmani does not hold like R Shemen bar Abba because he does not darshin
zman zmanam zmaneihem, and R Shemen bar Abba does not hold like R Shmuel bar Nachmani
because the pasuk of Kayamim was written for the future, meaning, this pasuk is the mandate for
the future to celebrate Purim on the 14th and 15th, therefore you are unable to extrapolate two other
days from this pasuk.
12) What are the two criteria necessary, according to the , to read early?
A- Shanim Kisiknan (Years are fixed according to eidim, Kiddush hachodesh, and a beis din)
B- Yisrael Sheruyin Al Admasan
13) Why, in the first version of the , does the say '
yet this clause of ... is omitted in the )"( ?
Because in the second version the Rabanan agree to R Akiva that you darshin zman, its just
that in this case they are machmir after churban beis hamikdash since people anticipate mikra
megillah
' "
14) Explain the between the two of ' .
R Yehuda in the mishna says that since people anticipate mikrah megillah you can only read
megillah in its proper time, yet in the baraiisa it says that if the bnei kefar go into town on Mondays
and Thursdays then they can read early
15) How does ' explain why attributing the to ' and the to ' is
a valid answer?
For R Ashi heard it reported in the name of some people like R Yehuda and by some people like
R Yose bar Yehuda, so he figured that whoever reported the baraiisa in the name of R Yehuda
was not being specific, they really meant R Yose bar Yehuda, and whoever said R Yose bar
Yehuda was being specific
16) Explain why, if the do not go into town on Mondays and Thursdays, they are not
allowed to read early. ()"
For if they do not go into town, then reading early does not constitute a kula
17) What two problems does the have with the suggestion that the walled cities should not
read at all?
A- Arent they Jews? B- It says from Hodu until Kush! (That all of these provinces accepted
Purim on themselves. In this context it actually says that letters were sent out to all the
provinces of King Achashverosh, and we already know from beforehand that that refers to
Hodu until Kush.)
18) How does the reject the suggestion that the should be read on both the 14th and the
15th of in the walled cities?
If that were true it should have said Es Yom Arbaah Asar Vachamisha Asar, but now that it says
VIES Yom Chamisha Asar, the es comes and divides it into the 14th and 15th
19) How does the reject the suggestion that the people of the walled city can pick either the
14th or the 15th on which to read the ?
Because it needs to be that the opened and walled cities have to read on separate days
20) Why, in every suggestion, does the automatically assume that the scattered cities read on
the 14th? ()"
For the 14th is fixed in the as a day on which to read .
21) Explain the following phrase in the : .( ? Explain with )"
Since the megillah does not hint to you when the time is on which the walled city should read, and
we already know that Shushan reads on the 15th, most probably that day is also for all the other
walled cities.
22) What is the of ?'
That walled cites from the times of Achashverosh read on the 15th
23) Why doesnt the of our hold like ?'
Our tanna learns the gezeirah shava of Prazi Prazi from milchemes Sichon and Og which is

So that there should not be increased machloksim in Yisrael (in terms of how to understand hidden
psukim)
31) Why did ' forbid from translating ?
For it contains, specifically in Sefer Daniel, references to the end of time, and the coming of the
Mashiach
32) How could you say that was the one who wrote the on , but we already know
from a in that there was a on the !
There was always a targum, it was just forgotten, so Onkelos rewrote it
33) Why did the world only shake when wrote his but not when wrote his ?
In the torah, everything is revealed, in navi, some things are revealed but some things are hidden
34) To the deaths of which two people is the cryptic pasuk in , quoted by ' , referring?
Achav bar Omri, who was killed by Hadadrimon ben Tavrimon in Ramos Gilad, and Yoshiyahu

35) Who were the people who were with ?If they did not see anything, why were they so
afraid?
Chaggai, Zecharya, and Maalachi, and they were afraid for even though they did not see anything,
their mazal did
36) What is s three-stage suggestion for one who is afraid for no apparent reason?
Ideally you should say kerias shema, if you are in a dirty place then jump back 4 amos then say it,
if you cant do that either then you should say that the sheep in the slaughterhouse are fatter than
me
37) What does ' learn from ?
That the kohanim, leviim, and yisraelim all have to stop their avodah to come hear megillah
38) How does the prove from the story with and the that is really more
than ?
For when Yehoshua asked the maalach for which offense he was coming, the bitul korban tamid
or the bitul torah, he responded Atah Basi- pashtus this means that I am coming for the offense
you committed now, namely bitul torah. Tosfos explain that I am coming for the torah about which
it writes Viatah Kisvu Lachem Es Hashira Hazos, so you see that Talmud torah is more chamur
than avodah
' "
39) , what is the only thing that is more than ?
Talmud torah diyachid
In all of the following state which one is better and either prove it or say why:
40) and
Mikra Megillah, from the statement of R Yose bar Chanina above that the kohanim stop working
to come hear megillah
41) and
Mikra Megillah, based on what Beis Rebbi did
42) and
Meis Mitzvah, based on the baraiisa which says that we are mivatel learning for hotzaas hames
and hachnasas kalah
43) and
Meis Mitzvah, based on a pasuk of Vilaachoso, and the baraiisa which explains that if you are
going to give your son a bris or shecht a korban pesach you cannot be mitamei for a karov, like
your sister, but you can be mitamei for a meis mitzvah
44) and
Meis Mitzvah because of kavod habriyos, which is docheh a lav in the torah, certainly it is docheh

?' "
The chiddush is about a krach, namely that even if people are always passing through the town, if
it is not kavua the same people then it is still not called an ir gedolah
49) Prove that when ' says that the word does NOT mean
.
For if it meant charvu chomosav then the halacha is that once a city is walled it remains walled

a walled city

The chiddush is about Purim, I would have said that since we were gozeir not to read megillah
because of the gezeirah of Rabbah lest you come to carry daled amos in reshush harabim on

to carry it to a baki to learn how to read and they will carry daled amos in reshus harabim
59) According to ' , why dont we read on ?
Since the aniyim anticipate megillah for the matanos laevyonim which they receive, and they
cannot receive matanos laevyonim on shabbos (Tosfos- R Yosef is not arguing on Rabbah, rather

not malkus. B- R Ashi- You could even say our mishna reflects shitas Rabanan, who say
that there is malkus in place of kares, and our mishna means that the main punishment by
shabbos is biydei adam, and by yom kippur the main punishment is bikares, but, limaashe,
if you give malkus on yom kippur he is patur from kares

similar to these than it is ossur, for even if he only gains a perutah he might use that to buy food
169) If people are not about why is it still ?
Because our mishna is going like R Eliezer who says that vitur, being liberal, meaning letting
people do things that you do not care about, is still ossur in a case of mudar hanaah
Nedarim you are responsible for if it gets lost or stolen or dies, but not so by a nedavah

Not to leave a korban over past three regalim
172) If is not written by a then how do we have the right to learn that the of

between one who saw 2 vs. one who saw 3 is purely in terms of the tumaah and not in the korban,
ka mashma lan Mizovo to tell you that some zavin bring korbanos and some do not. And if I
only had Mizovo I would not know how many emissions are needed to make a person tamei or
chaiiv to bring a korban, ka mashma lan R Simai that two is for tumaah and 3 is for a korban

that and only apply to a ?
We drashin the pasuk to mean that you are tahor miperiah uprimah dimeikara, meaning, at the

198) Why is the of only by a ?
Because of the maaseh with Talmai Hamelech
In all of the following cases explain why the made the changes they did (with )":
199)
So that they should not say that bereishis is the name of a god, and there are two gods, and bereishis
created Elokim
200)
The apikorsim could say based on this that there are two gods had it said naaseh
201)
So that they should not say that Hashem does melacha on shabbos, chas vishalom, for they do not
accept medrash chazal that the pasuk means that the Hashem brought menucha into the world at
that time, and this was its completion
202)
They did not write beram for that implies that He created them, meaning it implies that there were
two separate bodies, when in reality it means that Adam and Chava were created as one body with
two different images or sides of their face
203)
Here too had they written neridah it would have implied that there are many gods
204)

and not Avraham, therefore they wrote bikroveha, meaning to say that Avraham laughed inwardly
and Sarah laughed outwardly

They did not write hargu ish so that they should not say that our forefathers were murderers
206)
They did not write chamor for they would have said that it is undignified to have your leader riding
on a lowly donkey

So that they should not say that there is sheker in the torah, for the Jews were only in Mitzrayim
for 210 years, and they do not accept the fact that the gezeirah began from when Yitzchak was
born
208)
They did not write naarei, for they would have said you only sent out your lads to greet the
shechina?!
209)
They changed atzilei to zatutei to remain symmetrical
' "
210)
Had they written that Moshe said lo chamor they would have said that he did not take a donkey
but he took something else, therefore they wrote that he did not take a single object
211) '
They added the word lihair, for otherwise they would have said that only Jews cannot worship
avodah zarah, but bnei noach can
212)
Had they not written liovdam it would have implied that Hashem created these gods against His
will
213)
They did not write Arneves so that Talmai should not say that the Jews are jesting with me by
putting my wifes name in the torah
214) How do we know that refers specifically to the Greek
language? ()"
Because the gemara darshins that yafyuso shel Yefes should be in the tent of Shem, and Greek is
the most beautiful language of Yefess descendants

called the avar

From the extra Hei in Hamashiach
220) If a temporary gets ousted from his position why, according to ' , is he not fit
for being a nor for being a ?
He cannot be a kohen gadol because of eivah and he cannot be a kohen hedyot because of maalin
bakodesh viein moridin
221) How does ' resolve the fact that the is the and the is ?'

ketanah- a private bamah
224) Based on the s , what things can be brought on a ?
Any type of korban neder or nedavah

225) How do we resolve the fact that the s in the is ostensibly more expansive
than the one difference listed by the in the ?
Everything brought on a bamah has to resemble a korban pesach, in that it has to be korban chova
which has a set time
226) Based on our , in what one regard is a better than a )"( ?
On a bamah ketanah you cannot bring any chova, and on a bamah gedolah you can only bring a
chova with a set time
227) Give two examples of . Based on our , what is the by these
types of )"( ?
Par heelm davar, and seirei avodah zarah, they cannot be brought on either bamah
228) Why cant our be like the )"( ?
For they hold that anything which the tzibbur offered in the ohel moed in the midbar was also
offered in the ohel moed in Gilgal, which had a bamah gedolah, and even a par heelem davar could
be brought, against our mishna which only said pesach and things which are similar
229) What is the only difference between and the ?
By mishkan Shiloh, you can eat kodashim kalim and maaser sheni as long as you are able to see

kedushas yerushalayim B- The mishna says that when they came to Yerushalayim they
forbade the bamos and there was no longer a heiter
