Study Guide Shabbat 33

Today's daf is sponsored in memory of Shoshana Chaya bat Shlomo and Mazal z"l by her daughter Nava Flesh and by Rabbi Fredda Cohen and Eric Nussbaum in honor of the sstaff of White Plains Hospital. To the most dedicated and wonderful colleagues. 

The gemara mentions all sorts of sins that cause particular punishments. Despite these connections, the gemara in the end seems to qualify this by saying that sometimes these diseases can happen for natural causes and not because of sins. Regarding a discussion about askara , the gemara gets off on a tangent and brings in the story of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his son who end up hiding in a cave for thirteen years from the Romans because of something Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai said against the Romans which was leaked to them by Yehuda son of converts who was careless and recounted the comment to others.
