Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

Why didn’t Hashem tell Yisroel the same thing he told the world; that (if they don’t accept) all will return to ‘Tohu Vavohu’?  This approach would perhaps avoid the coercion aspect since it is merely a statement which reflected the reality of creation.

How did the Malachim intend to observe the Torah which applies to physical phenomena?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

Yitzchak Avinu deducted night-time from the sum total.  Why does the entire night qualify for exemption?

The Mishna determines the Shiur of spices, according to the amount required to spice a chicken’s egg and refers to it as a ‘Beitza Kalla’ (easiest to cook).  How does the term Beitza Kalla fit into this context?
