Question 1

How many total burnt-offering animals are brought on Shavuot besides the tamid offerings, according to Halachah 1?

Rambam totals three bulls, three rams, and fourteen sheep: 20 olot in all, in addition to two goats (chatat) and two sheep (shelamim).

Question 2

If the eve of Shavuot falls on Shabbat, when are the two loaves baked?

Because baking for these loaves does not override Yom Tov or Shabbat, they are baked on Friday and eaten on the festival.

Question 3

What is the ruling if wheat miraculously descended from clouds for the two loaves?

Rambam records unresolved doubt; therefore one should not use it initially, yet if used, the offering is accepted bedi’eved.

Question 4

If two sheep are slaughtered for four loaves and the officiant declares only two should be sanctified, what is done with the extra loaves?

With explicit stipulation, two loaves are used; the other two are redeemed inside the courtyard and then eaten outside as ordinary bread.

Question 5

If only six of the required seven sheep for a communal musaf are found, what does Rambam rule?

Rambam rules to offer what is available at the proper time; once the date passes, the communal obligation is nullified rather than made up later.
