Kiddushin 36 - September 18, 3 Tishrei

This month's learning is sponsored by Leah Goldford in loving memory of her grandmothers, Tzipporah bat Yechezkiel, Rivka Yoda Bat Dovide Tzvi, Bracha Bayla bat Beryl, whose yahrzeits are on Rosh Hashana. -Her father in-law, Chaim Gershon ben Tzvi Aryeh, whose yahrzeit is on Erev Yom Kippur, her mother, Devorah Rivkah bat Tuvia Hacohen, whose yahrzeit is on Hoshana Rabbah, her cousins, Avrum Baer ben Mordechai, whose yahrzeit is on Simchat Torah, and Sharon bat Yaakov, whose first yahrzeit is on 4 Tishrei. "All the myriad things they taught us serve as a testament to their memory and all these lessons are being passed on to the next generation giving meaning behind "May their memory be for a blessing". They brought us up to fear Hashem, walk in the ways of the Torah and Mitzvot, have courage through Emunah in the face of unspeakable odds, reflect on our midot, laugh, and love each and every person. Yehi Zicram Baruch. Today's daf is sponsored by Debbie Baumgarten Kusnetz in honor of her daughter-in-law, Dvoranit Sussman Schwartz. "For all she does for her family and still makes time for learning the daf." There are three different explanations given to explain why Isi added a fourth case to the list of negative commandments that don't apply to women - the prohibition of making oneself bald as a sign of mourning for a loved one. Why do each of them not accept the explanation of the others? There are several actions that are performed in the Temple relating to sacrifices that are traditionally performed by men and not women. The Mishna lists these actions and the Gemara explains from where in the Torah can we derive that each of these actions is meant to be performed only by men. There are two exceptions to the rule - the waving of the Sotah and the Nazirite meal offering. From where is this exception derived?
