Description

What differences are there between karkah and metaltelin? Can karkah become assur as an avodah zarah? Does one need to use a keli shareis to do shechita on zevachim? Is the prohibition of benefiting from a meis, biblical? Can one benefit from the shrouds, the tomb stone, the coffin, or the dirt? When was the gemara put into writing? What is derived from the piercing of an eved ivri, to the laws of milah? Why is shechita of a bird not written in the torah? Was shechita in the midbar different than in Eretz Yisrael? Chumash-Vayigash- Why are foreign governments allowed to charge it's citizens tax? Why does Israel charge tax? Why is it prohibited for Jews to cheat on their taxes in the diaspora and in Israel?
