Is the debate in the Mishnah regarding a man who betroths a bat kohen the same debate as a patzua daka who is a kohen who marries a bat Yisrael? The Gemara tries to distinguish between the cases, but Rava and Abaye prove (each in a different way) that they are similar. Why did each not interpret like the other opinion? Rabbi Yochanan asked Rabbi Oshaya a question he could not answer - a patzua daka who was married to the daughter or converts - could she eat truma? There is a dispute between three tannaim regarding the daughter of a convert - is she disqualified to marry a kohen and is she considered “within the community” and can’t marry a patzua daka? According to which opinion did Rabb Yochanan ask his question? What is the answer to the question? Rav and Shmuel disagree in a case where there is a chuppah without a betrothal of a woman forbidden to a kohen with a kohen, will she be disqualified from eating truma?
