    So – nobody knows who was Moshe Rabenu’s brother besides for Aharon? It’s not a trick question. He was his real brother.

    Another riddle:

    My brother’s name is four words but mine is only two.

    Who am I?

    AYC – Re sisters in law – correct.

    Re – the washing hands riddle; I was thinking of a time when it’s better to use no keli than a perfectly kosher keli.

    Shticky Guy – the answer is none.

    Here’s a few:

    Who in tanach had the same name as her sister-in-law?

    Give 3 examples of men in tanach employed by their shver to be?

    Who was ‘the upside down horn’?

    Daasyochid: The word ‘bochur’ may come from the root ‘choice ones’ but that has nothing to do with yeshiva at all. The word bochur appears many times in shas and meforshim and it simply is a reference to unmarried males.

    That said I would agree that colloquially the word ‘bochur’ has become a reference to yeshiva bochurim. After all we don’t talk about ‘university bochurim’.

    As far as I know, a true cheresh cannot give a Get either. This will mean unfortunately that the yevama either remains an aguna as a shomeres yovom unable to marry, or marries the cheresh with Yibum. Tragic both ways.

    ‘lishkol’ in hebrew means to weigh. Possibly related to the word ‘scale’?

    What about ‘rogil’ and ‘regular’?
