Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

Why couldn’t Rebbi Eliezer be Mochel on his honor, as the Gemara (Kiddushin 32b) says that a Rebbi has the ability to Mochel on his Kavod?

Eruvin 64 – עירובין סד

Rava critiques Rav Nachman for expressing his like/dislike of certain halachos.  But don’t we find many times (Shavuos 45b etc.) where the Chachamim would praise a specific halacha, and at other times negate and dispute others?

“Ein ma’avirin al ha’ochlin” the Gemara seems to apply this to all foods.  Since the subject matter in the story was ‘Gluskin’ (bread/baked goods) perhaps this only applies to items such as those – which carry added significance (Hamotzie, food staple etc.)?

Brachos 2 – ברכות ב

The Gemara begins by enquiring the source of the opening statement of the Mishnah, and challenging the choice of language used by the Tana who beging with ‘meimasai’ (from what time do we recite Shema) without first teaching us anything about this obligation.  The Gemara concludes that it is derived from the passuk ‘uveshachbecha uvekumecha’.  Why should we expect this Mishnah to be different from everywhere else in Mishnah where the Tana never discusses the basic Halachos and their sources, but rather comes to elaborate and expand on what is already known from the Torah (see Ramba”m Pirush Mishmayos Brachos who states that the Mishnah will never discuss basic halachos found openly in the Torah)?
