27 Nissan (Sefiras Ha'omer)

Why were R' Akiva's students killed for merely not giving Kavod to each other? When did that become something that's Mechuyav Misah?

26 Nissan (Tazriah-Metzorah)

The first Rashi in Tazriah says that we are starting discussing the Torah of people now that we finished with the Torah about animals we are going to start with the Torah of people. I understand why we start with childbirth halachos then, but why do we get into the laws of Tzara'as right afterwards?

25 Nissan (Tazriah-Metzorah)

Why does it say (Vayikra 13,3) "Vira'ah hakohen es hanegah bior habasar... Vira'ahu hakohen vitimei osoh" (and the kohen should look at the tzara'as on the skin of his flesh... The kohen should look at it and declare it tamei.)? We already said the kohen should look at it in the beginning of the passuk!

23 Nissan (Shemini)

Why does it say by all of the treif animals with one siman (either it chews its cud or it has split hooves) in Vayikra 11,4-7, that you can't eat it because... and then list the siman it does have then the siman it doesn't have? Why doesn't it just say that you can't eat it because it doesn't have the siman it doesn't have? There's no reason to say the siman it does have!

20 Nissan (Pesach)

In Berachos 9a,b Rav Yannai says that the reason it says in Shemos 11,2 "daber NA... viyishalu ish maies ra'aihu... Klei chesef uklei zahav" (speak please... and let each man borrow from his friend... silver and gold vessels) is because na means please and Hashem was telling Moshe "Please. Go tell Klal Yisrael please borrow gold and silver vessels because that way Avraham won't be able to say 'you kept(Beraishis 15,13) 'they will serve them and oppress them' but not 'afterwards they will leave with tremendous wealth' '!" Why is the problem that Avraham is going to complain, the problem should be that Hashem has to do it since he promised to?

19 Nissan (Pesach)

I had some technical problems both with my phone and with laiziness so I didn't post the last few days kashas here. (They did make it to the text so if you subscribed to that you would have gotten it). I'll try to catch up today.

How can Hashem tell the Jews (Shemos 3,22) ""Visha'ala isha mishchenta umigaras beisa klei chesef uklei zahav usmalos visamtem al beneichem vial benosechem..." (and each woman should borrow from her neighbor and from the one who lives in her house silver and golden vessels and clothing and put them on your sons and daughters...)? They were never going to return them. You can't call that borrowing, it's taking!

18 Nissan (Pesach)

Chazal tell us that Bnei Yisrael merited redemption from Egypt in merit of three things. (1)They didn't speak Egyptian (2) They didn't wear Egyptian clothing (3) They didn't use Egyptian names. If so why in Shemos 3,22 does it say that "Visha'ala... Klei chesef uklei zahav usmalos visamtem al beneichem vial benosechem vinatzaltem es Mitzraim" (and borrow...silver and gold vessels and clothing and put them on your sons and daughters and empty Egypt). Why would Hashem tell them to borrow the Egyptian clothing? They shouldn't start wearing Egyptian clothes now!
