Description

What does the talmud do, when interpreting two pasukim that contradict each other? Can one learn torah all day,and not work? Does one need to have festive meals on yom tov? Can one woman, be forced to drink sotah water, on multiple occasions? In what situation does a woman receive her ketuba? When does the talmud believe a commoner's recollection of a situation? Who places the minchas sotah in the kli shareis? Should the father perform the milah on his son? Why was there no lottery for non-kohanim to slaughter the tamid? Is there a prohibition for a kohen to touch a woman's hand during tenufa? Can one shake a woman's hand? Chumash-Vayishlach: from Yaakov we learn not to take excessive actions to prevent a problem.
