Sefer V'yesh Lomar is a sefer which consists entirely of Talmudic and
Halachic riddles.
The last forty three pages of this sefer (in a section
titled Vdibarta Bam)consists of over one hundred riddles whose answers are from
the Talmud or Poskim. Here is some example:
*Where do we
find that it is permissible to eat a certain food on Shabbat while on Motzei
Shabbat it is forbidden to do so? (see Mesechet Dmai chapter 4, mishna
1).
*On which food does one make a bracha shehakol while the after
bracha is a bracha me'ein shalosh? (see Mishna Beruara Siman 208,
sief katan 73 or Mishna Berura 202, sief katan 42).
*What is the case
that one person eats something permissible and gets the death penalty while
someone else eats something forbidden and is excused from the death
penalty? (see Sanhendrin 70a and you can work out the
case).
Here is the contact info to buy the Sefer:
In Israel
one can call Mispacha Dinar at 02-538-1479.
In England one call call
161-708-9745.
In the US one can call 1-718-677-1838
By the way- In the
first four hundred and seventy pages of the sefer, there are
three hundred
and forty two iyun riddles. These are questions which
asks a kushya on
the shita of one of the Rishonim or Achronim. The
answers given are
based on chilukim and svara.
Here is an example
(Question
#35). The Mishna Berura writes (Siman 225 sief katan 11) that when one
wants to make a shechiyanu on a new fruit it is better to
first make the
shechiyanu and then the bracha hanehenin in order in
order that the bracha
shechiyanu should not be a hefsek between the
bracha on the fruit and eating
it. Yet when it comes to making the
bracha shechiyanu on a new talit
the Mishna Beruara writes (Siman 22
sief katan 103) that one first makes the
bracha on the Tziztit and then
shechiyanu. Five answers are brought to
explain the difference.

Another Lookjed query that might be of particular interest to Gemara
teachers -
<<
I am preparing a class for Shavuot which will highlight what I'll call
"lomdish" riddles. I am looking for odd cases that can be explained using a
halakhic, midrashic, or Talmudic source that I could learn with the crowd
to show them the answer.
( I am not looking for word plays).
Here is an example: how can a woman receive a get from the man she married
and still be permitted to a kohen?
(the answer can be found in a case described by the Yalkut Shimoni at the
beginning of Parshat Emor)
On and offline responses would be most appreciated.
