What is the nature of the sin of not being afraid during war? Why does one who eats a puteisa lashed multiple times(Rambam vs Geonim)? Which karbanos may only be brought by a kohen gadol? Is saying kerias shema a biblical mitzvah? Till what zeman may one pray mincha and maariv? Chumash: Bo- the special status of being able to sanctify the months. Why mention yetzias mitzraim in kidush?
