Description

How do we know that the water checks the sotah and her counterpart? Why did Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi not write his opinion in all the mishnayot? Does the rabbinic language of kidushin have a biblical source? How is tumah transmitted from a sheretz, a neveila, and a meis( Jewish and gentile)? How is a chazan part of a minyan, if he is on a bimah? Is there a difference between an outdoor chupa and an indoor one? Is the law of safeik d'oreisa le'chumra biblical or rabbinic? What about a safeik sefeika? Why do we differentiate between safeik tumah in a reshus harabim and a reshus hayachid? Chumash:Emor- When one performs a mitzvah there is a kidush hashem, but when one performs a sin, even in private, there is a chillul hashem.
