Description

What is the status of a animal slaughtered by a minor, without supervision? Give an example of hasra'as safek with a definite sin? In which kind of rov do R Meir and the Chachamim argue and agree? Which chezkas issur does a live animal have? Is there a mitzvah to eat slaughtered meat, or to lend money with interest to a gentile? If a rov contradicts a chazaka, which wins and why? In a rov, should one still discern the facts? Why do shochtim check the lungs? Should other parts of the animal be checked? When does one need to check vegetables for bugs? In a situation of safek, how does one paskin in issur v'heter, monetary matters, and in tumah? Chumash-Vayakhel/Pekudei: How are the laws of carrying on shabbos derived from building the mishkan
