Some sample questions from this category:
* In par'shat Chayai Sarah, Sarah dies in the very first pasuk. She had lived 127 years. She died in Kiriat-Arbah (the city of four), in the land of Chevron. According to Rashi, what was the significance or foreshadowing of the name Kiriat-Arbah?
* Rambam comments that it is asur (forbidden) to eat an animal that was killed in the field, because this deters the Jews from attaining holiness, which Hashem set for His people. According to Rashi, when we come across such meat what should we do with it to show 'gratitude and appreciation'?
* In Par'shat Kedoshim, we are giving many laws regarding many topics (holiness, Shabbat, parents, human relations, dietary laws, etc.). One law says 'Lo Tenachashu'. What is this law forbidding?
* Unlike most kosher animal groups, this animal group's kashrut laws are identified by a list of names rather than by characteristics.
* Miriam and Aaron condemned Moses for having married a Cushite woman (Tzipora). Hashem immediately intervened. For their harsh judgement of Moses, Hashem afflicted Miriam with leprosy.
From Hashem's intervention, Rambam points out one quality that applied to Moses.
