Description

How many Raban Gamliel's were there, and which of them had sons named Shimon? What is the status of a beit din where the rabbis have no semicha and how do they accept converts today? What is the nature of today's semicha? Is there a sin if a donkey eats tevel? Does one need to be mafrish terumah in Beit Shaan? Can one sell Eretz Yisrael today, to a gentile, so as not to violate shemitah? Do we observe yovel today? In which cases do we follow the majority? Which men and women do not perform yibum or chalitzah? What is the status of Kutim today? Can an atheist or a meshumad perform chalitzah? Are there mechalele shabbos b'farhesiah today, who are like gentiles? Chumash: Vayakhel- why is there a minhag for women not to work on Rosh Chodesh?
