Description

How does a pircha differ from a yochi'ach, regarding a kal va'chomer? Why did the rabbis not prohibit shofar on yom tov because it is a musical instrument, or milah on shabbos because one might carry? Can one blow shofar on shabbos in the Old City? Why do the tanaim argue about whether women lean on karbanos? When does one violate bal tosif? Does one say "aseh docheh lo ta'aseh", when performing a optional mitzvah? Should women recite a bracha when performing a optional mitzvah? Is bracha l'vatala biblical? Should one circumcise within eight days, b'di'eved? Chumash-Mishpatim: which laws were given on Sinai? What constitutes Torah shel ba'al peh? Did every prophet reveal, what Moshe was already shown, on Sinai? Did Moshe know Tehilim?
