Description

When do the testifying witnesses not administer the death penalty? What happens if the sotah becomes sick after drinking, but not the bo'el? What is the nature of the din of having many children, even when older? Why does a rishon l'tumah, not metamei man and utensils? How are earthenware utensils defiled? When can later generation rabbis, disagree with prior generations? Is techum of 12 mil, biblical? Do we say shomeia k'oneh by the bracha of sefiras ha'omer? When does shomeia k'oneh not apply? Why does the torah always say laimor? Chumash:Kedoshim- Holiness is not attained by simply being machmir with crazy chumras and shtick that separates one from society, but rather by being a better mentch.
