Are any women believed to be a messenger to bring the get?  What if they are characters who are suspected of having ulterior motives (like a mother-in-law)?   Is there a difference if we are talking about a case where they need to say “befanai nichtav u’befanai nechtam?”  If so, what is the difference?  In which case would a woman bringing her own get from chutz la’aretz need to say “befanai nichtav u’befanai nechtam?”  The new perek starts delving into the issue of lishma and gives 4 different cases where a get is not considered lishma and would be no good.  THe gemara discusses the difference between all 4 cases and possible ramifications from here to other promissory notes.

In what scenarios can you write on something attached to the ground?  is there a difference between writing the tofes and the toref?  How do the opinions of Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Meir (is it the witnesses who see the giving of the get that are the critical ones or is it the ones who sign the document) fit in to the mishna?  What is the law regarding plants (in a perforated pot) that are on the border between Israel and chutz laaretz?  What are different types of processes done to the hides in preparation for parchment and what are the parchment prepared in each different process used for?  Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Yochanan disagree regarding which cases the Rabbis in the mishna allow a type of parchment that can potentially be forged?

If a husband writes the get on his servant and then gives his slave as a gift to his wife, is the get effective immediately (before the slave reaches the wife)?  what is the root of the disagreement between Rabbi Yossi HaGelili who doesn’t permit a get to be written on a live being or on food and the first tanna who does allow it?

What if time elapses between the writing of the get and the giving of the get?  How does that affect the number of months a woman needs to wait after a divorce before remarrying?  Does the lcokc start ticking from the signing or from the giving?  From what point does the financial obligation of the husband to the wife in a ketuba go from being an obligation to being a loan, in whcih case it would then be cancelled during a shmita year?  There is a disagreement about in which case Rabbi Shimon allows time to elapse between the writing of the get and the signing.  What if more than one day elapsed?   Another disagreement about a case where someone asked 10 people to all write the get – what is the function of all of their signatures – are two viewed as witnesses and the others as fulfilling the husban’ds stipulation or are all considered witnesses?  What are the ramifications of the two opinions?

If two messengers deliver a get do they need to say “it was written before us and signed before us?”  Rabbi Ami tries to derive it from our mishna that they do need to say it, but ends up changing his mind and concluding the opposite.  The mishna brings a case where the get was written on one day and signed at night – on a different date.  The gemara uses this as a springboard to disucss why in general a date is needed on a get.

Discussions continue about whether or not the tannaim disagreed about if one sends a messenger to deliver something, does the messenger acquire rights to the object from the moment he receives it or only when it gets to the hands of the receiver?  Tיe second chapter starts with a bunch of unique cases where the statement that the messenger bringing a get from abroad needs to say was not said in its entirety by the messenger.

If someone tells someone who owes him money to repay it to someone else, if he said it in the presence of the other person (receiver) also, it is considered as if the receiver already acquired it. If someone sends a messenger to repay a loan or return an item, who is responsible if something happens to the money/item before the messenger delivers it?  Can the sender change his mind after he sends the messenger?
