Question:

In conclusion of the Gemara would it be permissable to purchase an Esrog during shmita year from an Am Haaretz for less than the price of 3 meals?

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=58962&st=&pgnum=242

Take note how the Rambam defines פירות משומר

See מהר”י קורקוס on the side of the Rambam

Questions:

The Rambam introduces the prohibition of purchasing fruits during shmita from an Am Haaretz with the prohibition of doing business or guarding fruits during shmita year. 

How are these prohibitions connected? 

If one is prohibited from purchasing any fruit that is normally guarded from an Am Haaretz as we are concerned he will not be careful to use the money with kedushas sheviis so why is it permissible to purchase a wild growing herb from him, we should have the same concern regarding what he will do with the money from the sale?

Review the גמרא דף ז. “ומסיים (four lines from bottom of the Amud) until the end of דף ז עמוד ב

How is the case of מבוי שכלה לרחבה similar to the case of מבוי שנפרץ במלואו לחצר ונפרצה חצר כנגדו?

Questions:

In the case of מבוי שכלה לרחבה why does רב יהודה rule that it is permitted to carry inside the מבוי with just the placement of a Lechi or Korah at the entrance of the מבוי  to reshus Harbim?

What would need to be done to permit one to carry inside the מבוי?

Why is it permitted to carry inside the רחבה even though it is open to the Reshus Harabim?

In the case of מבוי שנפרץ במלואו לחצר ונפרצה חצר כנגדו why does רב rule that it is forbidden to carry inside the מבוי? 

Why does he rule that  it is permitted to carry inside the חצר even though it is open to the Reshus Harabim?

What are the two points how the ruling of רב in the case of מבוי שנפרץ במלואו לחצר ונפרצה חצר כנגדו contradict the ruling of  רב יהודה in the case of מבוי שכלה לרחבה?

Introduction:

There are three reasons why the מבוי should be אסור to carry

1. Since the back wall of the chatzer which separated it  from the Reshus Haribim fell down the מבוי one could is considered מפולש לרה”ר

2. The traffic of the people inside the chatzer who now will frequent this מבוי

3. The Mavui is open entirely to the chatzer

Clarify why it is permitted to carry in the chatzer without the need to place a tikun

Conclusion of the Sugya: Following Chumras of Two Different Opinions

Clarify the two different opinions when a we follow the rule ספק דאורייתא לחומרא ספק דרבנן לקולא and when we say following the chumrahs of two different opinions is considered foolish.

which brings a machlokes between when the day is considered over in regards to until what time a person can daven mincha and what time a person could start davening maariv.

Rabanan – Day ends at shkia (sunset) 

Rebbe Yehuda – Day ends at Plag Hamincha (two and half halachic hours before shkia) 

The Gemara concludes one could follow whichever opinion they decide. 

Could a person daven Mincha after Plag hamincha and then daven Maariv immediately following (before Shkia)? 

Would it be permitted if it was two different days?
