Shavuot 

Description

Why do people learn the Rambam's Sefer Hamitzvos on Shavuos? How can an archaeologist differentiate between a bama of Jews versus gentiles? Why did Jews want to build a mizbeach on Har Habayis to bring a Pesach but not other karbanos? Why is there no need for a super majority when judging a shor haniskal? Is bircas hatorah biblical? Who authored the earliest work enumerating the 613 mitzvos? Do we say safek brachos lehakel on a biblical bracha? What is the difference between a bracha she'eina tziricha and a bracha levatala? Is the son of a loan shark to Jews, required to return the ribis that he inherited? Is the prohibition of marrying a brother's wife ever not bekares? Did the Rambam author the Sefer Hamitzvos as a stand alone sefer?
