The Gemara says that on Shabbos one is meant to make a bracha on two whole loafs since the passuk says ‘lechem mishne’ (a double bread) referring to the double portion of Man which fell on Erev Shabbos. Since this event occurred on Friday why do we commemorate this on Shabbos?

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)?

The Gemara concludes that perhaps we cannot apply those’halacha formulas’ to a machlokes within a Braisa. Why could this not have been an answer to the Kushya from the Braisa of the three month wait period as well?

Chana declared ‘I will seclude myself with a stranger in front of my husband’ which will result in my drinking the Sotah water. How can she allow herself to transgress the prohibition of Yichud?
