	Gemara (Talmud, Oral Torah) Classes Online
		The Gemara (also known as the Talmud or Oral Torah), an explanation of the Written Torah, was given to Moshe at Sinai.
		The Gemara was not allowed to be formally written down; It was only memorized and transmitted from teacher to student through out the generations.
		The Gemara debates, dissects, and defines the principles of the Mishna so that the halacha could be understood.

	The Gemara (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Mishna is the oral law as it was known up to the end of the second century A.D. The Gemara is the interpretation or commentary on the oral law which the scholars of Babylon and of Jerusalem produced between the beginning of the third century A.D. and the end of the fifth century.
		Gemara became a term used by many in Judaism as a synonym for the Talmud.
		Technically, the Gemara is the final collection of all the commentary, analysis, and discussion which together with the oral laws of the Mishnah comprise the Talmud.

		The gemara cites a disagreement as to whether a eved who is a partial Jew and therefore enjoys some degree of parity would be similarly excluded.
		The gemara suggests that as a Eved is 'eino b'torat gittin v'kiddushin' cannot participate in a halakhic gittin and Kiddushin he cannot serve as an agent for someone who can perform it.
		A third question addressed by the Ohr Samei'ach concerns a gemara in Kiddushin (42a) which debates the viability of a shli'ach to serve as a witness in the process he is executing.

	Shimoff's Talmud Page
		The gemara discusses the status of items found in heavily populated areas, and whether that status depends on whether the majority in the area was Canaanite or Jewish.
		Finally, the gemara begins an extensive discussion of the exegesis of repeated biblical phrases, addressing such issues as the requirement to send away a mother bird before taking the chicks, the obligation to rebuke a sinner, and the requirement to assist in loading and unloading beasts of burden.
		The gemara discusses the principle of presummptive ownership, and then goes on to discuss how presumptions of ownership helped resolve the disposition of the assets of a woman and her daughters who were held captive.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - TALMUD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The word "Talmud" in all these places did not denote the study subsequently pursued by the Amoraim, but was used instead of the word "Midrash," although this did not preclude the later introduction of the term "Talmud" into tannaitic sayings, where it either entirely displaced "Midrash" or was used side by side with it.
		In the modern editions of the Babylonian Talmud the term "Gemara" occurs very frequently in this sense; but in nearly every case it was substituted at a later time for the objectionable word "Talmud," which was interdicted by the censor.
		The only passage in which "Gemara" occurs with the meaning of "Talmud" in the strict sense of that term and from which it was not removed by the censor is 'Er.

		The gemara notes that it is the obligation of the tenant, and not of the owner, to affix a mezuza on a rented house.
		Therefore, they re-interpret the gemara's dilemma: At the beginning of the 14th, the house was still under the responsibility of its owner and he was obligated to search it for chametz.
		The gemara's question, however relates to a case where the owner alreay incurred the obligation of bedika sinse he was still in possession of the house at the beginning of the 14th; perhaps he retains this obligation even though it is the tenant who is faced with the problem on Pesach.

		Both Gemaras were written in a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic dialects and share the teachings of sages known by the term Amoraim (in the singular, Amora).
		Gemara encompasses several literary genres, and subject matter ranges from the sacred to the profane.
		While it is often misrepresented as merely a commentary on the laws of the Mishnah, the Gemara has an intricate relationship with the Mishnah and a far greater scope.

	Gemara (Talmud)
		Both these synonymous terms derive from words meaning "study" or "learning." "Talmud" is Hebrew, whereas "Gemara" (in the present sense) is found only in the Aramaic dialect of the Babylonian Talmud.
		The Talmud is composed in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic (the latter was the spoken vernacular of Babylonian Jews).
		The scholars (Rabbis) who participated in the Talmud are referred to as "Amora'im" [singular: "Amora"], from an Aramaic word that originally designated the official in the academy whose job it was to recite the scholars' teachings before the public.

	Women covering their hair - Part I
		Before we can investigate the details in the continuation of the gemara in Ketubot, and before we can fully understand the nature of this law, there are three other sources in the gemara which discuss the issue of a woman covering her hair.
		What emerges from these three sources in the gemara are two main issues that present themselves with regard to the requirement for a woman to cover her hair.
		The gemara explains that if a man's wife goes out with her hair uncovered he is commanded to divorce her, based on the verse in Devarim 24 which states that a man divorces his wife if he finds a "davar ervah" with her.

		The gemara recommends a three part division of the hours spent learning Torah: Aa third is to be spent learning 'mikra,' (Tanakh) a third studying 'mishna' and a third studying 'talmud.'.
		He justifies the gemara's plan based upon a student for whom a third of his daily study is sufficient to assure proficiency in talmud.
		According to the gemara, the Talmud Bavli is an amalgam of mikra, mishna and gemara.

	Medicine in the Gemara
		The oral law, Torah Shebaal Pe, is recorded in the Gemara; hence, one must follow all that is in the Gemara.
		The Gemara explains that he did so because the people of his time were too reliant on this Sefer Refuah and stopped praying to Hashem because they forgot that it was Hashem who ultimately provided their healing.
		By the time of the Gemara, explains the Maharsha, Chazal felt that the Refuot were being forgotten, and they consequently wrote the Refuot in the Gemara so that the Gemara would encompass all areas of knowledge and so that people could not say that Chazal were not fluent in medicine.

		The gemara concludes that not only is there a mitzva to refrain from comments which will be divisive, but there is also a "chova" (an "obligation," a term normally cited by the gemara as in some ways more extensive than merely a mitzva).
		The gemara explains that by iterating the term "hokhei'ach tokhi'ach" (a double language), the Torah mandates that one attempt at rebuke is insufficient.
		As the gemara itself states, "A person must persist in rebuking." This statement itself is not necessarily contradictory to the gemara in Yevamot.

		However, asks the gemara, maybe this is true only if she is a minor; if she is over 12 years old, perhaps the money should go to her (Rashi, Tosafot and Tosafot Rid differ as to the exact intention of the question).
		The gemara then seemingly rejects this proposal by saying that "shevach ne'urim" is limited to the father's right to annul the vows of his daughter.
		When the gemara later says that the father receives the money because it falls under the category of "shevach ne'urim", it certainly may be argued the gemara understands that the father is only acting as her agent.

	INSITES OF THE DAY - Nazir, Daf 29
		The Rashba cites the Gemara in Yevamos (113a) that asks that a Chareshes married to a Kohen should be allowed to eat Terumah because she is like a Katan who is not obligated to observe the Mitzvos and Beis Din is not required to stop such a person from doing an Aveirah.
		For example, the Gemara in Sukah (2b) relates that Hilni ha'Malkah was sitting in the Sukah with her seven sons, and she made sure that they were fulfilling the Mitzvah of sitting in a valid Sukah because of the Mitzvah d'Rabanan of Chinuch (see GILYON HA'SHAS there).
		When the Gemara here says that a woman is not obligated in the Chinuch of her child, it is only referring to Mitzvos that are not obligatory (such as Nezirus).

		It was different with the Masechtoth belonging to Kodashim which, though treating of the sacrificial laws, are fully discussed in the Babylonian Talmud, as it was a prevailing opinion of the Rabbis that the merit of being engaged with the study of those laws was tantamount to the actual performance of the sacrificial rites.
		The absence of Gemara on the Masechtoth Eduyoth and Aboth is easily accounted for by the very nature of their contents, which admitted of no discussions.
		The language of the Babylonian Gemara is a peculiar idiom, being a mixture of Hebrew and East Aramaic, with an occasional sprinkling of Persian words.

	INSITES OF THE DAY - Bava Metzia, Daf 6
		The Gemara proves this again from the ruling of Ben Nanas in the case of "Chenvani Al Pinkaso," in which the storekeeper and the workers must both swear and collect from the employer, and from the Halachah of Shevu'as ha'Shomrim.
		One might suggest that the Gemara prefers to prove that he is not "Chashid a'Shevu'asa" from the case of Shevu'as Heses, since the Shevu'ah of our Mishnah might be because of a Safek Milveh Yeshanah, as Abaye suggests, and not because he is "Chashid a'Mamona" that he might be intending to steal.
		(The Gemara assumes at this point that the Kedushah of a Bechor stems from the fact that it belongs to the Kohen and is his property.) The Gemara rejects this and says that the Kedushah of a Bechor is not related to the Kohen, but is independent of the Kohen.

		This is why the Gemara asks, "What difference does it make?" The Gemara answers that it is to tell us that even though he had many sons, he fulfilled the mitzvah of continuing to have sons by marrying Ruth in his old age.
		Recall that the Gemara in Avodah Zara was advising how you can calculate the year you are in of the shmita cycle from the current year (add 1 year, divide by 50, subtract 2 for every 50 from the remainder - according to the version in our texts).
		Indeed, according to the Ran, the Gaonim's version of the Gemara read, "Whoever does not know what year it is in the seven year [shmita] cycle should ask the tanna (reciter) of Seder Olam and add one year..." The count of years was based on the Seder Olam which starts at "the year of Adam".

	INSITES OF THE DAY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		According to the Gemara (Rosh ha'Shanah 16a), Shavuos, the third of the Mo'adim, is the day on which Hashem judges and determines the quality of the fruit harvest of the coming year.
		The Gemara asks that perhaps the verse is not referring to Parah Adumah at all, but rather the entire verse is teaching that the Kohen Gadol who performs the Yom Kipur Avodah requires Perishah, since it says "Tzivah" in both this verse and in the Parshah of the Yom Kipur Avodah.
		The Gemara asks that perhaps the verse in the Parshah of Milu'im, "Tzivah Hashem La'asos," is not referring to Parah Adumah, but refers to all Korbanos through a similar Gezeirah Shavah, for it says a form of the word "Tzivah" with regard to all Korbanos (Vayikra 7:38).

	INSITES OF THE DAY - Horayos, Daf 14
		The Gemara explains that he was so successful in delaying his demise, that not only did he not die, but he never even needed a blood-letter to come to his house during that entire period.
		Regarding the Gemara in Pesachim which prohibits consulting with Chaldeans, there are a number of explanations in the Rishonim as to why that prohibition does not apply to the case of Rav Yosef; see Insights to Shabbos 156:1.
		The Gemara concludes that even if the person who is a greater Mefalpel is considered to have achieved a greater degree of Torah learning than the person who has amassed more knowledge, nevertheless the one with the greater amount of knowledge is of greater benefit to his students.
