Description
Today’s daf is sponsored by Mona & David Schwartz and family in loving memory of their mother and grandmother Mary Horowitz - Miriam Etel bat Aharon Halevi & Mirel on her 29th yahrzeit. “A woman whose home personified hachnasat orchim. May her neshama have an Aliyah.” After bringing the third version of Rav Yosef’s explanation of the law regarding the brother of a man who accused his wife of being a sotah who died childless before she drank the water, who is obligated to do chalitza but cannot do yibum, Rava brings a different explanation. Abaye questions that as well, but Rava resolves the difficulty. The Mishna lists other cases where a woman will be disqualified from eating truma but will not be able to drink the Sotah water, such as a woman who admits to having had relations with the man in question, if witnesses came who witnessed the couple having relations, or if she refuses to drink or the husband refuses her to drink or he has relations with her on the way to the Temple. Rav Sheshet says a law that Rav Amram tries to prove from the Mishna. The sotah water doesn't work to prove the guilt or innocence of a sotah if there are witnesses abroad who saw she had relations. Rav Yosef rejects Rav Amram’s proof from the Mishna. What is the root of the debate between Rav Sheshet and Rav Yosef? Several questions are raised against Rav Sheshet’s position. The difficulties are resolved and a braita is brought to strengthen Rav Sheshet’s position.

Berakhot 2: What is the time range in which one can say the prayer of Shema at night? Why did the mishna start in mid topic? Why with the night prayer and not the morning prayer of Shema? Why did they describe the time based on an action and not in a time frame... by Daf Yomi for Women - Hadran
