From the fact that Yaakov agreed to Lavan to complete the sheva brachos of Leah before marrying Rachel

From the fact that Mishkan was inaugurated in the Midbar before Pesach and not on Pesach

What happened during the seven day celebration for the inauguration of the BHMK that made Klal Yisrael worried, what was their basis for it, and how were they reassured that it was the right thing? *

10 points

They installed sharp pieces of metal on the roof of the BHMK to ward off birds. They made a kal v'chomer from the Mishkan which had covers. Shlomo HaMelech explained the basis of the derasha to everyone.

Shlomo HaMelech refused to leave over part of the construction of the BHMK so that the celebration could coincide with Sukkos. They made a kal v'chomer from the separate sheva brachos of Leah and Rachel. Shlomo explained to everyone the halacha that "we do not mix one simcha with another simcha".

They ate and drank even on Yom Kippur. They made a kal v'chomer from the inauguration of the Mishkan during which the korban of the Nesiim was brought even on Shabbos. A Heavenly voice said, "You are all invited to the life of the World to Come".

In the merit of whom did the gates of the BHMK open so that the aron kodesh could be brought in? *

Is one allowed to marry on erev Sukkos? *

10 points

Only according to the opinion that darshens v'samachta b'chagecha v'lo b'ishtecha

Only according to the opinion that says weddings are forbidden during Chol HaMoed because he may come to focus on the simcha of his wife and forget about the simcha of the Chag

Yes, according to all opinions.

What happened between the people and Shlomo HaMelech at the end of the BHMK inauguration celebration that also happened between Rabi Yonasan ben Asmai and Rabi Yehuda ben Geirim and Rabi Shimon bar Yochai? *

10 points

When they went home they found their wives tehoros and all concieved a boy

They said goodbye in the morning after saying goodbye the night before because they wound up staying the night there

Shlomo told his son to get a bracha from the people and Rabi Shimon told his son to get a bracha from his talmidim

Regarding the cryptic bracha that Rabi Yonasan ben Asmai and Rabi Yehuda ben Geirim gave to the son of Rabi Shimon bar Yochai, which one of the following explanations is NOT correct? *

10 points

"You shall sow but not reap" - You will have children and they should not die

"You shall bring in and not bring out" - You should bring in daughters in law and your sons should not die so that you won't have to send them back out

"You shall bring out but not bring in" - You should have daughters who will get married and their husbands should not die such that you'd have to bring them back home

"Your home shall be desolate and your guesthouse shall be settled" - You should live a long life so that your home in this world which is like a guesthouse should be settled and your grave should be empty

"Your table shall be mixed up" - with plenty of sons and daughters

"You shall not see a new year" - Your mind should be clear to learn Torah for many years before you get married and will have to do shana rishona

What is the resolution to the seeming contradiction between, "Measure the cycle of your feet" vs "The path of life lest your measure" and "All of your desires do not equate to it" vs "All desires do not equate to it"? *

10 points

Do consider which mitzvah to do if the other mitzvah can be done by others and don't stop learning for such a mitzvah that can be done by others but if the mitzvah cannot be done by others than you must do it without making such considerations and even stop learning Torah to do it

Do measure how you do mitzvos but don't try to measure how much Torah you learn because it is more than all the mitzvos

You can measure the reward for Torah and mitzvos done with ulterior motives but there is no measurement for the reward of Torah and mitzvos done purely for the right reasons

What happened to the Akum who tried to imitate the beauty treatment that Rav Bibi arranged for his daughter? *

10 points

He got a huge nedunya for his daughter just like Rav Bibi got for his daughter

He tried doing the treatment all in one sitting instead of part by part and his daughter died

He used the wrong type of oil and his daughter became hideous looking

"A 60 year old woman runs to the sound of wedding music just like a 6 year old girl does". What did Rav Chisda use this folk saying to prove regarding hilchos Chol HaMoed? *

10 points

Only applying makeup which does not entail discomfort is permissible on Chol HaMoed but not beauty treatments that entail discomfort

Applying makeup and doing beauty treatments on Chol HaMoed is permissible no matter how old the woman is

A man's obligation to provide his wife with things on the Chag that will give her simcha applies no matter how old his wife is

Rabi Yehuda permits collecting money owed from an Akum even when its his avodah zarah holiday and he does not agree with the argument that, "even though he's upset now, he'll be happy later". Yet, Rabi Yehuda allow women to apply beauty treatments on Chol HaMoed that will be completed on Chol HaMoed even though they make her feel ugly or uncomfortable while they are on her. Which one of the following is NOT one of the resolutions to this apparent contradiction? *

10 points

When an Akum pays money he is completely upset in that moment whereas when a woman applies beauty treatments even though she is partly "upset" she is mostly happy even in that moment because she understands the benefits

Chol HaMoed is different because everything is "upset now and happy later", e.g. food preparation which entails effort and a person is only happy with it when he eats it

Rabi Yehuda holds that an Akum always remains upset about paying out money and does not feel happy about it later
