Point to ponder;
  • The יו”ד ס’ ר”מ סע’ כ”ד ,רמ”א  rules that a grandson is obligated in honoring the grandfather.  How does this opinion explain our גמרא which clearly seems to conclude to the contrary?

Questions;
  • Why does one who kills a Kohen Godal, or a Kohen Godal that accidently kills another men not punished with Galus? (Ritva)
  • Why is the Rotzaich not allowed to leave even if he is needed to save lives, but Pikuach Nefashos overrides all commandments of the Torah except for the three cardinal sins? (Bartunura, Tiferes Yisroel on the Mishna)
The גמרא concludes the death of the כ”ג, and not גלות, is what gives the רוצח a כפרה.

Learn תוס מידי which asks how do we reconcile our גמרא  with the גמרא ב that clearly says גלות is a כפרה?
  • In conclusion what is מכפרא according to answer of תוס? Ritva, Aruch LNer

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Maseches Makkos Daf 10B: Tnan Mosrin Lo (08/05/2013)

Learn גמרא י’ עמוד ב  אמר מר (sixteen lines before the wide lines) until end of the עמוד

Questions;
  • If the גואל הדם is not allowed to kill the רוצח before he reaches the ערי מקלט why should the רוצח run to the ערי מקלט in the first place? Let him just sit on his couch in his own home?

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Maseches Makkos – Daf 10B: Amar Rav Huna (07/31/2013)

Review quickly גמרא י: אמר רב הונא  (sixth medium line) until אמר ר אלעזר (eight lines before the wide lines.)

Questions;
  • In the משנה דף י”א עמוד ב there’s a מחלוקת whether the גואל הדם has a מצוה or just a רשות to kill the רוצח. How could רב הונא argue on the משנה?
  • The רבנן argue on רב הונא and hold that the גואל הדם is חייב מיתה for killing the רוצח. How could they argue on the משנה? Very important ה’ ב”ח אות ב

Important point to clarify: Is the מחלוקת before ב”ד sentenced the רוצח to גלות or after?  Bring a proof from the גמרא

  • If the מחלוקת is before ב”ד sentenced the רוצח to גלות how could the גואל הדם kill the רוצח maybe the murder was a total freak accident and the רוצח is not even חייב גלות?
  • If the מחלוקת is after ב”ד sentenced the רוצח to גלות how could רב הונא hold the גואל הדם is פטור if he kills the רוצח. Don’t we have to give the רוצח the opportunity to run to גלות?
Important point to clarify: When are the two ת”ח assigned to the רוצח immediately after the murder or after the רוצח was sentenced to גלות? See רמב”ם ה’ רוצח ה,ח, מאירי
  • If the two ת”ח are assigned immediately after the murder how could they tell the גואל הדם that the רוצח only killed בשוגג maybe he killed intentionally?

Questions;
  • How could people be so cruel and crude to wish for the death of Dovid Hamelech? מהרש”א
  • The גמרא says the person who killed בשוגג was deserving to be exiled because he had killed someone בשוגג at an earlier date without witnesses. Based on this reasoning how was it possible for him to kill someone בשוגג initially? See מהרש”א
  • Why does רב הונא need a proof from תורה, נבאים & כתובים? See מהרש”א
