Very quickly review “גמרא י”ט. “ומאי קסבר (twelve lines from bottom of the עמוד ) until “וכי דבר” (second to last line in the עמוד )
Continue the גמרא until two dots on : יט
Learn “תוס’ “ואי who asks a few questions on רש”י (starting from ” אבל קשה ” -last line of the narrow lines- until “ועוד קשה ” )
Questions:
From ‘תוס questions on רש”י it is clear that תוס’ understands that if the בהמ”ק is not קדשה for all times then its obvious that it is forbidden to eat מעשר שני in ירושלים.
  • Why? What is the connection?
  • How does רש”י  deflect these questions?

Continue learning ‘תוס from “לכך צריך לומר דגריס” until “ואם תאמר”

Questions:
  • What is the key issue of whether or not מעשר שני is required to be brought and eaten in ירושלים in our times even though we do not have a בית המקדש according to רש”י and according to  ‘תוס?
  • What is the conclusion of the גמרא in regards to קדושת א”י , קדושת בהמ”ק  ,קדושת ירושלים ? according to רש”י and according to  ‘תוס ?

Learn Gemara 30B “Ela” (2nd line from top of Amud) until “Amar Rava” (11 lines from top)
Central point; Why if a Zaken hits a lost animal is he now obligated to return it? What happened to the exemption that it is not respectable for him?

Major Question on the safek of the Gemara; The Gemara entertains a thought that one would only be obligated in the field and would not have to continue in the city but that is contradictory to what we just concluded that once a Zaken starts he has to finish?
