Does a divorced woman married to a kohen, receive her ketuva? Is the obligation to pay a ketuva biblical? How much money is the ketuva for a betula vs a widow? How far does one go to force a Jew to perform a mitzvah? If one forces a sale, is the sale valid? What can a beis din do to prevent it from being denigrated? Why can beis din convert a baby? Chumash-Parshas Parah: the haftorah equates becoming tahor with doing teshuva. Earthen vessels are like rasha gamurs who will never repent, while regular people can become tahor and repent.
