Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn in the Mishna that performing half of the melacha of carrying is an issur derabanan but not min hatorah.  Why is it not assur min hatorah, since we know that even a ‘chatzi shiur assur min hatorah’ (i.e. eating half a kezayis of prohibited food)?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara interprets the word ‘Gadol’ in reference to ‘Onesh’ (greater liability) since laws of Shabbos apply also to things detached etc.; why is this related to as a ‘liability’ and not simply another detail present in Hilchos Shabbos and absent by Shemittah?

How do we understand the obligation (according to Rav and Shmuel) of a Korban Chatas for a ‘Tinok Shenishbah’ who had no prior knowledge or awareness of this mitzvah; why is he not regarded as a Ones?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn elsewhere that a city’s communal needs are the Chacham’s responsibility.  Why didn’t the Eruv (in Abaye and Rabba’s mavoi) fall into this category?
