Please write clearly and use only black ink..גמרא \ רש"י Unless otherwise indicated, all questions are based on דף יז:, ת"ש שאלה בלוריא starts at the bottom of בחינה This week s.דף :, כדקיימי קיימי and ends eleven lines from the bottom of On last week,דף we were discussing a statement of אמר רבי יוחנן, גדולה תשובה שמקרעת גזר דינו של אדם....רבי יוחנן Due to questions from various,ברייתאות we limited יוחנן s רבי statement to apply only to a גזר דין on a.ציבור However,.יד on a גזר דין cannot tear up a תשובה.רבי יוחנן continue to ask on גמרא 1. The כי ד' א-לקיכם הוא א-לקי הא-לקים וא-דני האדנים הא-ל הגדל הגבר והנורא ישא ד' פניו אליך וישם לך שלום: )במדבר ו:כו( אשר לא ישא פנים ולא יקח שחד: )דברים י:יז( A) בלוריא הגיורת asked רבן גמליאל the apparent contradiction between these two.פסוקים One that,ישא ד' פניו אליך says פסוק does not show favor. The other ד' that,אשר לא ישא פנים says פסוק question? answer this רבי יוסי הכהן does show favor. How did ד' B) How did רבי עקיבא answer this question??רבי יוחנן answer for גמרא How does the.רבי יוחנן s רבי answer seems to contradict עקיבא C) 2. Our גמרא brings a ברייתא which asks why two people in the same situation can have different outcomes. For example, when two people have the same sickness and one recovers while the other does not? Or when two people are charged for identical crimes and one is freed while the other is put to death? Continued on page 2

C) Why didn t רבי יצחק accept אלעזר s רבי explanation? יד on a גזר דין that a ברייתא we see from this ידים D) Since these cases are dealing with a) can be torn up. b) cannot be torn up. c) is a מחלוקת תנאיים whether or not they can be torn up. כבסי מרעה לבך ירושלם למען תושעי עד מתי תלין בקרבך מחשבות אונך: )ירמיהו ד:יד( כי אם תכבסי בנתר ותרבי לך ברית נכתם עונך לפני נאם א-דני ד': )ירמיהו ב:כב( 3. These two פסוקים are referring to a.ציבור The first פסוק says מרעה לבך,כבסי wash your heart נכתם עונך לפני says פסוק of evil. This implies that a bad decree can be overturned. The second your iniquity remains a stain before me. This implies that a bad decree cannot be,נאם א-דני ד' overturned. A) How did the גמרא initially try to resolve this apparent contradiction? ולכן נשבעתי לבית עלי אם יתכפר עון בית עלי בזבח ובמנחה עד עולם: )שמואל א ג:יד( B) This resolution challenges our assumption that a גזר דין on a ציבור can be torn up. Using this,פסוק what alternate resolution can we say to answer the apparent contradiction between the two פסוקים mentioned in #3A and thereby remain with our assumption about a גזר דין on a?ציבור?פסוק in this בזבח ובמנחה make from the words רבא )רבה( did דיוק C) What

D) What דיוק did אביי make from these words? כי מי גוי גדול אשר לו א-לקים קרבים אליו כד' א-לקינו בכל קראנו אליו: )דברים ד:ז( דרשו ד' בהמצאו קראהו בהיותו קרוב: )ישעיהו נה:ו( 4. A) The גמרא initially thought that רב שמואל בר איניא משמיה דרב said that we learn from the words כד' א- לקינו בכל קראנו אליו that a גזר דין on a ציבור is never sealed. Why couldn t that be what he said? כד' א-לקינו בכל of פסוק say we learn from the רב שמואל בר איניא משמיה דרב B) What in fact did?קראנו אליו C) This פסוק says that ד' is always available when we call Him. This seems to contradict the How did.ד' which implies that we must find the right time to call out to,דרשו ד' בהמצאו of פסוק the גמרא resolve this apparent contradiction? D) What time is the פסוק of דרשו ד' בהמצאו referring to? ויהי כעשרת הימים ויגף ד' את נבל וימת: )שמואל א ה:לח( 5. This פסוק discusses when נבל was punished for his treatment of דוד המלך and his men. The says that he was punished after ten days. What are the significance of those ten days פסוק according to?רב יהודה אמר רב (A?רב נחמן אמר רבה בר אבוה (B

A) How did רב חנא בר ביזנא אמר רב שמעון חסידא explain why the beginning of the פסוק refers to?ששון ושמחה refers to them as פסוק while the end of the צום these four days as B) Was our משנה written during the time the בית המקדש was קיים and how do we know this?
5 Name or Phone # (needed on 1 st page only) Page 5 of 7 8. C) Based on the answers to A & B, the גמרא had a question on our.משנה What was the question?
