Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Chachamim allowed transferring a Meis out of the sun by placing a loaf or child on him, thus we consider the act of moving as being done for the permitted item.  Why can’t we consider the actual bed (which he is on) as the permitted item – in place of the loaf or child?

Shabbos 52 – שבת נב

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara says that hammering out to broaden the chain around the animal’s neck is considered a ‘tikun’ (constructive change).  Tosfos (D”H Bisherischan) states that animal chains are typically worn tightly.  If so why do we consider it a ‘tikun’?

An un-pierced needle is not capable of becoming tamei, but can be moved on Shabbos.  Rashi explains the reason it is not Muktzah is because it can be used for splinter-removal.  Why is this reason not sufficient to render it a kli for tumah as well?

 

Shabbos 116 – שבת קטז

The Gemara earlier established the minimum number of eighty five letters based on the parsha of ‘Vayehi Binso’a’, whereas here it seems to be dependent on a machlokes (Rebbi and Rebbi Shimon ben Gamliel) – is that halacha indeed agreed upon by all?
