Description

What four objects related to idolatry are forbidden? Is there a difference between deriving benefit from idols, versus deriving benefit from a melacha of shabbos? Is shechita a mitzvah or a matir? Is there a lechatchila and bedi'eved in a matir? On which objects that are asur be'hanaah do we say ketusi michtas shiurei? Is an idol asur from the time it is made, or only after it is worshiped? Which utensils require hagallah versus libun? Is chameitz before Pesach hetera balah or issura balah? Does hetera balah ever require libun? Does a utensil used once over flames, require libun, if the majority of it's use was via water? Chumash-Tazria: if a metzorah is similar to a dead person, who observes shivah for him?
