A woman can only appoint a messenger to accept the get and a husband can only appoint a messenger to deliver the get.  If the messenger is accepting the get, then the get is effective immediately.  If the messnger is delivering the get then the get is effective once it reaches the woman.  The relevance: can the husband change his mind.  What happens when the husband uses wording of “accept” instead of “deliver”?  What happens if the messenger is sent by the wife to deliver the get to her but he tells the husband that he was appointed to accept the get?  In this case, no one properly appointed him to be a messenger so the get isn’t good even once the wife receives it.  If the term “heilach” – meaning “here it is” is used by the husband, does everyone agree that it means the get is effective immediately or is there a disagreement about it.  Can a man send a messenger to deliver and the woman send a messenger to receive it from the husband’s messenger?

Who has first rights to the water from the irrigation channel?  Can you loan your kitchen equipment or help grind wheat of those who are suspect of storing shmita produce or amei haaretz (who are either suspected of not tithing their produce or of not keeping laws of purity)?

If there is no Levi in shul, the Kohen who got the first aliya, also gets the next – why?  Are you allowed to read from a parchment that includes only one book of the Torah?  CAn you write sections of the Torah for children to learn?  Can you write down the Oral Torah?

Cases are brought in which non-Jews seize land and yet the law of sikrikon doesn’t apply.  The sale of a deaf person who signals can be considered a good sale, and the sale of a child (who is mature enough to understand) is considered a good sale.  The laws of the order of aliyot during Torah reading were instituted in order that people don’t fight over who is more respected.  Other changes are brought in the mishna that were instituted because of darkei shalom and they will be discussed further in the gemara.

More of the stories of the destruction – stories of people killing themselves in the name of God, the story of the children of Rabbi Yishmael that the kina is based on and others showing how bad things were during the destruction.  The gemara goes back to the mishna and discusses details of the law of Sikarikon – one who purchases land seized by a non Jew.
