Shavuos

What does Boaz mean when he tells Rus (Rus 2,11) that she came to a nation she never heard of before? Rus 1,4 makes it clear that she was married to a Jew for approximately 10 years!

Bamidbar 5,12 Rashi- Hashem swears If you don't give your Matnos Kehuna to the Kohen, your wife will become a Sotah and you'll have to bring her to the Kohen. Why? She has Bechira! What is going to force her to have relations with somebody just because her husband didn't give his Terumah to the Kohen?

Shavuos

If Boaz told Rus (Rus 2,8) "stay close to my MAIDENS", why does Rus tell Naomi (Rus 2,21) "he even said to me 'stay close to my YOUNG MEN'"?

Shavuos

Yerushalmi Rosh Hashana Perek 4, Halacha 8 (21a) says that the sair of Shavuos is only one not called a chatas(Bamidbar28,30) because Hashem considers it as if never sinned on Shavuos because accept Torah. But if so why does Vayikra 23,19 call Shavuos' sair a chatas? If Hashem considers it as if we never sinned on Shavuos, why do we need a chatas in Shemini and not in Pinchas?

Shavuos

Yevamos 48b proves that geirim are punished for not converting earlier from the fact that Boaz tells Rus that she gets full reward because she came to convert immediately. But she didn't come immediately! Rus 1,12-Rashi- She waited to convert until after Machlon died and Rus 1,4 says that she was married for about 10 years. Clearly she waited 10 years to convert so how can the Gemara in Yevamos say she converted immediately?

Shavuos

How can Naomi tell Rus (1,15) Orpa went back to her god, follow her? It's forbidden for goyim to do Avoda Zara, so how can Naomi tell her to do it?

Behar- Bechukosai

Toras Kohanim- Vayikra 25, 48-49 is written in order of who is most closely related to a Jew who is a slave to a goy, the closer the relation, the earlier in line to redeem. If so, why is the slave himself written last? How could he possibly be the one least related to himself?

Behar- Bechukosai

What's the point of the Torah giving us two blessings, one for have tons of food(26,10 + Rashi) and to be satisfied with little food(26,5 + Rashi)? There's no point of both! If you don't need to eat much than there's no reason to have so much food!
