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 (שיטות early? (both מגילה for reading the רמז 9) Where is there a A- R Shemen bar Abba amar R Yochanan- Likayem Es Yemei Hapurim Haeleh Bizmaneihem B- R Shmuel bar Nachmani- Kayamim Asher Nachu Vahem Hayehudim?אדר to include the possibility of reading on the 13 th of פסוק 10) Why don t we need a For that was the yom kehilla, and the day of the ikar neis 11) Explain how the two שיטות are mutually exclusive. (Meaning, explain why ר' שמן בר אבא does not hold like ר' שמואל בר נחמני and vice-versa.)

2 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 14 th and 15 th, therefore you are unable to extrapolate two other days from this pasuk. 12) What are the two criteria necessary, according to the,רבנן to read מגילה early? A- Shanim Kisiknan (Years are fixed according to eidim, Kiddush hachodesh, and a beis din) B- Yisrael Sheruyin Al Admasan זו דברי ר' עקיבא דדריש זמן זמנם זמניהם say גמרא does the,גמרא 13) Why, in the first version of the (רש"י)?איכא דאמרי is omitted in the דדריש... yet this clause of Because in the second version the Rabanan agree to R Akiva that you darshin zman, it s just that in this case they are machmir after churban beis hamikdash since people anticipate mikra megillah דף ב' ע"ב.ר' יהודה of שיטות between the two סתירה 14) Explain the 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 Monday s and Thursday s then they can read early 15) How does ר' אשי explain why attributing the משנה to ר' יהודה and the ברייתא to ר' יוסי בר יהודה 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 בני כפרים do not go into town on Monday s and Thursday s, they are not (רש"י) early. allowed to read For if they do not go into town, then reading early does not constitute a kula 17) What two problems does the גמרא have with the suggestion that the walled cities should not read מגילה at all? A- Aren t 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 גמרא reject the suggestion that the מגילה should be read on both the 14 th and the 15 th of אדר in the walled cities?

3 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 14 th and 15th 19) How does the גמרא reject the suggestion that the people of the walled city can pick either the?מגילה 14 th or the 15 th 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 גמרא automatically assume that the scattered cities read on (רש"י)? th the 14.מגילה as a day on which to read פסוקים For the 14 th is fixed in the (רש"י (Explain with ואימא בתליסר? כשושן. :גמרא 21) Explain the following phrase in the 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 15 th, most probably that day is also for all the other walled cities.?ר' יהושע בן קרחה of שיטה (22 What is the That walled cites from the times of Achashverosh read on the 15 th?ר' יהושע בן קרחה hold like משנה of our תנא 23) Why doesn t the Our tanna learns the gezeirah shava of Prazi Prazi from milchemes Sichon and Og which is referring to Yehoshua (רש"י)?גזירה שוה 24) In what case may one learn a Only if one has a mesorah for one from his rebbi 25) Why was שושן different than all other cities?
