Chapter 6, Mishna 3, 4
Do the Boethusians say Shavuot must fall on Sunday?
What argument did Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai use against the Boethusians?
Is Shavuot set by counting seven weeks or by counting fifty days?
Does βthe morrow after Shabbatβ mean after the Festival or after a regular Shabbat?
Must the start of counting to Shavuot be a fixed calendar date?
Must the omer be brought at the start of Passover rather than on Sunday?
Must the counting always total exactly fifty days?
Would counting from Sunday ever make Shavuot more than fifty days later?
Does βthe day of rest (hashabbat)β mean Passover or Shabbat?
Can you start counting the omer anytime after the second day of Passover?
When must the counting of the omer begin to ensure seven complete weeks?
Do you harvest and count the omer at night or bring it during the day?
Does the omer counting start on the first or last day of Passover?
Does the counting of the omer include or exclude the extra days to make exactly fifty?
Is it a mitzvah to count both days and weeks?
Were the barley kernels parched directly in the fire?
Does βparched with fireβ apply to the grain while still in the stalks?
Or, does it apply to the ground groats?
What does the term karmel mean?
And, how is it interpreted in the context of the omer offering?
