Description

The correct way of learning, is to first learn gemara and then the shulchan aruch, not in the reverse order. Who is not required to go to war? Which wars have exemptions? What is the nature of prohibitions written several times in the torah? Why do three people not go to war? Who are the Nesinim? When is prohibited from marrying the nesinim? Is it ever permitted to convert a spouse just because a Jew is going to marry the non-jew? What blessing is made on the tefilin shel rosh, if one spoke after placing the arm tefilin? When correcting an error in the mishna, do not erase the old text, rather, bracket it out. What are milchemes mitzva and reshus? Chumash:Pekudei-the destroyed temple is considerred a "mashkon" from bnei yisrael to Hashem
