Questions:
  • From where does the ריב”ן know that according to ר” ש all tattoos are אסור ?

  • Do we פסקן like רבנן or ר”ש ? Learn ריטב”א “רב אשי

Mareh Mekomos:

Begin on the top of 46a, Rav Zeira, and learn until the two dots halfway down. See tosfos dh lo. What is the contradiction that tosfos is trying to answer? See Maharsha that explains. Another question, if Rav Avahu knew what Rav Yochanan held regarding that which the Baal Habayis should be botzeiah, why did he ask Rav Zeira to make the Hamotzei to begin with? See Rashba. See Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 2 halacha 7 that brings the halacha of birchas orech. Is there anything that one can be medayek in this Rambam regarding the birchas orech?
