Questions:

Why does Rashi and Tosfos both explain according to רב כהנא it is permitted to carry opposite the long wall?

In the question of Tosfos why does tosfos understand it’s considered as there are only two walls ?

Tosfos gives two answers. 

What’s the difference between the two answers?

Learn ריטב”א – note how he answers Tosfos question.

What is the difference between Tosfos and the Ritva answers?

Rava argues and holds the Korah must be placed straight and not on an angle. The gemara says the reason is because a Korah on an angle is not a היכר.

Why doesn’t the gemara simply say the reason is קורה משום היכר and therefore if place the Korah on an angle from the short side to the long side you will only have two walls?

Conclusion of Sugya of Sheviis

Clarify in conclusion how and when kedushas sheviis can be transferred or removed

Question

In the time when there is no Beis hamikdash one may redeem thousands of dollars worth of fruits of maaser sheni onto a lesser value coin. 

According to ר’ אלעזר when one redeems kedushas sheviis can a large amount of produce be redeemed on to a lesser value coin? 

Bring a proof from רש”י דף מא. “והא הכא

In conclusion:

Does a lulav that grew during shmita have kedushas sheviis? (מחלוקת רש”י לפ’ מש’ של רמב”ם)

Does an Esrog that was picked during shemitah have kedushas sheviis?

Very quickly review the גמרא דף ח. “גופא אמר רב ירמיה בר אבא (two dots) until דף ח: “איתמר  (five lines from top of the Amud)

Rashi דף ח: “ולרבה has the words “ואפילו בחצר” in parentheses.  

Point to Consider:

Does a חצר  מפולש  have the same halacha as a מבוי מפולש?

See the מהרש”ל & מהרש”א & מהרש”א מהדורא בתרא (underneath the מהרש”א) who discuss why the חצר should also be prohibited.

Last week we learnt the גמרא דף ח. “מרימר פסיק לה לסורא באוזלי. Rashi learnt מרימר placed the nets on the end of the street before the sea. However the מגיד משנה explained according to the Rambam who rules we are not concerned for שמא יעלה הים שרטון the case was that מרימר placed the nets on the other open side of the street. 

Question on the מגיד משנה:

Rabbi Jaffe asked me the following question on Shabbos.

What was the need to place nets – a full wall on the fourth side as since the sea wall is a valid wall than this road is a classic dead end mavui which only requires a Lechi or Korah on the fourth side?
