April 01, 2024 05:20 - 46 minutes - 34.1 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Rabbi Art Gould in loving memory of his beloved bride and best friend of 50 years, Carol Joy Robinson, Karina Gola bat Huddah v’Yehuda Tzvi, on the occasion of her first yahrzeit. "You will be in my heart forever." There are two more attempts to prove that tza'ar ba'alei chayim is a rabbinic law, but they are rejected. Within what distance from the animal is one obligated to help load/unload? What is the order of precedence in dealing with people's lost items b...
Bava Metzia 32 - March 31, 21 Adar 2
March 31, 2024 05:11 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBIf one who finds a lost item does not want to lose out on getting compensated for their full wages while attending to the lost item, one can stipulate this in front of a court (three men) and then the one who lost the item will need to compensate the finder the full amount. Raba bar Rav Huna wanted to apply this law to a case where Rav Safra took his half of a shared business deal in front of witnesses, but not three men. Rav Safra rejected this proof, but Abaye brought proof from a differe...
Bava Metzia 31 - Shabbat March 30, 20 Adar 2
March 29, 2024 05:24 - 40 minutes - 30.2 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Malka Abraham in loving memory of her mother, Yehudit bat Mshalem Ziza v'Chanah. "My mom always encouraged women to be lifelong learners and a love of Yiddishkeit." If one finds an animal wandering, how does one determine if it is lost or if the owner knows its whereabouts? Rava explains that helping to protect another’s field from being destroyed is also included under the commandment to return lost items. Can this be proven from a braita? The Mishna which diff...
Bava Metzia 30 - March 29, 19 Adar 2

Bava Metzia 29 - March 28, 18 Adar 2
March 28, 2024 06:18 - 46 minutes - 34.2 MBWhat is a person's level of responsibility toward the lost item once one picks it up and begins searching for its owner? If it is an animal, the finder needs to feed the animal. But if the animal is not producing enough to cover its cost, the owner can sell the animal and will return the money when they find the owner. Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva debate whether this money can be used or needs to be set aside - this then affects their level of responsibility for the money in the event of los...
Bava Metzia 28 - March 27, 17 Adar 2
March 27, 2024 06:09 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBAs another difficulty is raised against Rava's explanation for simanim being a rabbinic law, Rava concludes that one can retrieve a lost item by bringing simanim by Torah law. What if two people bring simanim or one person brings simanim and the other witnesses or the other one witness? Rava explains cases where two people bring different identifying details and explains which is the stronger one. For how long does the finder need to announce the lost object? Rabbi Meir holds until the neigh...
Bava Metzia 27 - March 26, 16 Adar 2
March 26, 2024 06:17 - 46 minutes - 34.1 MBThe Mishna rules that if one finds money among fruits that one has purchased, one can keep the money. Rabbi Yannai limits this to what circumstances? A braita is brought which also corresponds to Rabbi Yannai's limitation. The verses in the Torah relating to lost items list several items that are lost that should be returned. What is derived from each of these terms? Rabbi Yehuda and Tana Kamma disagree about whether to derive the halakha that one does not need to return an item that is less...
Bava Metzia 26 - Shushan Purim - May 25, 15 Adar 2
March 25, 2024 06:18 - 45 minutes - 33.5 MBToday's daf is sponsored in memory of haRav Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim ben Yaakov Yisrael, Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt"l. When one finds an object in a wall, what clues are there in the placement of the object that can attest to whether it belonged to the owner or to someone from the street who left it there? If the object was placed in a part close to the house, but the house was rented to others, there is no obligation to return the object. How does this halacha fit with the Mishna in Shekalim 19 ...
Bava Metzia 25 - Purim - March 24, 14 Adar 2
March 24, 2024 05:51 - 44 minutes - 32.5 MBToday’s daf is dedicated in memory of Ilai David Garfinkel of the Duvdevan commando unit who was killed on Friday. The Mishna lists various items that if found, one should announce in order to return to its owner. The Gemara explains in more detail some of the cases and how the item needs to be found, i.e. fruits in a basket but not next to the basket, money in a particular formation. Contradictory sources are brought and resolved. The next Mishna describes various items that if found in a...
Bava Metzia 24 - Shabbat March 23, 13 Adar 2
March 22, 2024 06:30 - 44 minutes - 32.7 MBShmuel listed three areas in which we can assume Torah scholars may be dishonest. Why? Can we assume they are honest in all other areas? Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says that if something is lost in a public place, we can assume the owner despaired (has given up hope of ever getting the item back) and the finder can take the item. The Gemara questions whether he meant this only in a place where the majority of the people are Gentiles or even in a place where the majority are Jews. If he included...
Bava Metzia 23 - March 22, 12 Adar 2
March 22, 2024 06:19 - 45 minutes - 33.6 MBStudy Guide Bava Metzia 23 Today's daf is sponsored in memory of Rav Moshe ben David, Rav Moshe Feinstein zt"l. Today's daf is sponsored by Terri Krivosha for a refua shleima for her husband Hayim Herring, HaRav Hayim Yehuda ben Tzippora. Raba and Rava disagree about simanim - can the location be a siman, and is something a siman if it can be stepped on and ruined? How do they each explain the braita in which the law distinguishes between lost bundles and sheaves? Is the disagreement...
Bava Metzia 22 - March 21, 11 Adar 2
March 21, 2024 06:16 - 45 minutes - 33.3 MBStudy Guide Bava Metzia 22 Today's daf is sponsored by Nancy Kolodny in honor of the birthday of her daughter-in-law Lisa Kolodny.

"He would have been proud to see how his grandchildren and Israeli great-grandchildren are thriving in Israel." There are five mo...
Bava Metzia 21 - March 20, 10 Adar 2
March 20, 2024 06:16 - 45 minutes - 33.2 MBThe Gemara raises two more difficulties against Rav's ruling that a receipt of payment is not returned to the borrower if found among documents of the creditor, and resolves them. The second chapter begins with a list of items that if one finds them on the street in a particular manner, they can assume the owner lost them and is not expected to retrieve them and can therefore keep them. One of the items listed is scattered fruits - how were they left? How many and in what size space is this ...
Bava Metzia 20 - March 19, 9 Adar 2
March 19, 2024 06:08 - 45 minutes - 33.3 MBA braita states that if a receipt is found saying that the husband (or his heirs) paid his ex-wife the money from her ketuba, , if the woman agrees, we return it to the husband as proof he paid. Why are we not concerned that perhaps the the money was not repaid on the date written on the receipt, but was paid later, and the couple is conspiring to retrieve her ketuba that she sold after the date written on the receipt, but before the actual payment? Rava and Abaye each suggest answers. The M...
Bava Metzia 19 - March 18, 8 Adar 2
March 18, 2024 06:18 - 46 minutes - 33.9 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Allie Alperovich in loving memory of her grandmother, Frima Iosilevich who passed away this week a month shy of her 98th birthday. Rav Ashi was uncertain whether the law that a person can retrieve lost items by giving an identifying mark (siman) is a Torah law or not. As a result, when he reconciled the contradiction between the Tosefta that permitted one to return a lost get to the wife when the husband agreed and Mishna that did not, he explained that it could...
Bava Metzia 18 - March 17, 7 Adar 2
March 17, 2024 06:15 - 46 minutes - 33.9 MBToday's daf is sponsored in honor of Audrey Mondrow from her children and grandchildren. "You are an example of a lifetime learner."

Bava Metzia 17 - Shabbat March 16, 6 Adar 2
March 15, 2024 06:30 - 41 minutes - 30.4 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Karen Carter in honor of Julie Hilton Danan's birthday! "Happy birthday to my first chevruta!" In what cases is one no longer trusted to take an in court that he/she paid back the loan? Rav Nachman was quoted as differentiating between a case where the court had ruled "Give the money back" and "You are obligated to pay." However, there were two different versions of the situation in which Rav Nachman distinguished between the cases. Two statements of Rabbi Yoch...
Bava Metzia 16 - March 15, 5 Adar 2
March 15, 2024 06:14 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Miriam Adler in honor of her children’s return to Kibbutz Saad. "May they have many healthy and safe years while building and planting in ארצנו הקדושה." Rav holds that if the seller of stolen land subsequently purchased the land from the original owner, the assumption is that the seller originally sold the land and any rights to the land that the seller may have in the future. Therefore, the land is fully owned by the buyer. The logic behind Rav's ruling is a so...
Bava Metzia 15 - March 14, 4 Adar 2
March 14, 2024 06:16 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBStudy Guide Bava Metzia 15 Today's daf is sponsored by Barbara Goldschlag in honor of the engagement of Aliza Goldschlag and Sam Clarke. If one sold a field that he/she stole, when the owner takes back the land and the buyer returns to the seller to retrieve the money from the sale, Shmuel holds that the seller does not need to reimburse the buyer for improvements to the field. The second difficulty raised against Shmuel is resolved in three possible ways. A third difficulty is raised a...
Bava Metzia 14 - March 13, 3 Adar 2
March 13, 2024 06:19 - 46 minutes - 34 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Amy Goldstein in loving memory of her father, Melvyn Sydney Goldstein, on his 4th yahrzeit. "He was gone too soon, and his presence and good counsel are missed by many of his friends and family." How does the braita previously quoted raise a difficulty with Shmuel on two counts? Another statement of Shmuel is brought explaining the rabbi's position - that even if a document doesn't say that the property is liened to the loan, the property is still liened to the...
Bava Metzia 13 - March 12, 2 Adar 2
March 12, 2024 06:22 - 47 minutes - 34.9 MBStudy Guide Bava Metzia 13 If someone finds a promissory note in the street and it is unclear if it was paid back or not, can it be returned to the creditor? According to Rabbi Meir, it depends on whether or not the document specified that there was property lein on the loan - if there was, the document is not returned, if there was not, it is. The rabbis disagree with Rabbi Meir and hold that in both cases, the document is not returned. There are two suggestions to explain the case of t...
Bava Metzia 12 - 2nd day of Rosh Chodesh - March 11, 1 Adar 2

This week's learning is sponsored by Nira Feldman in loving memory of Faye Darack z"l, Finkel bat Baruch v'Dina in commemoration of her first yahrzeit.

Bava Metzia 11 - Rosh Chodesh Adar 2 - March 10, 30 Adar 1
March 10, 2024 06:08 - 44 minutes - 33 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Emma and Richard Rinberg in honor of the engagement of their son Joseph to Shachar, daughter of Ayelet and Amir Yefet of Shoham. After concluding that everyone agrees that if a husband puts a get in his wife's courtyard, she is divorced because her courtyard is considered an extension of her hand, the Gemara brings three explanations as to what Reish Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan disagree about regarding the acquiring of an item through the courtyard of a minor. If ...
Bava Metzia 10 - Shabbat March 9, 29 Adar 1
March 08, 2024 06:45 - 44 minutes - 32.6 MBThe Gemara quotes a Mishna in Peah 4:9 that describes someone who takes part in the corner of another's field on behalf of a poor person. Ulla and Rav Nachman disagree about whether the debate Mishna in Peah is only when a wealthy person takes the item for the poor person or even a poor person for a poor person. Rav Nachman raises a difficulty with Ulla’s ruling from our Mishna. How do Ulla and Rav Nachman understand the case in the Mishna differently to correspond to their understanding of ...
Bava Metzia 9 - March 8, 28 Adar 1

March 07, 2024 06:19 - 44 minutes - 32.6 MBToday's daf is sponsored by Rochel Cheifetz in loving memory of her aunt, Rose Rubelow, Rachel bat haRav Moshe v'Tzipora Mashbaum whose yartzeit was 26 Adar. When the law is to split an item, the meaning is to split the market value. There are three attempts to prove this from our Mishna or tannatic sources. The first two are rejected but the last is accepted. Rami bar Hama teaches that one can derive from our Mishna that one who finds an item on the street and picks it up on behalf of an...

Bava Metzia 6 - March 5, 25 Adar 1
March 05, 2024 06:17 - 44 minutes - 33 MBSince Rabbi Yochanan explained the reason for the oaths in the Mishna is to prevent one from grabbing the tallit from the other, the Gemara continues to prove that if one can be believed to take an oath even if we are concerned they have stolen. The third attempt to prove this is from a statement of Rav Huna regarding a shomer who claims something happened to the item which would exempt the shomer, but he/she chooses to pay for the item. They take an oath, even though there is a concern that...

Bava Metzia 3 - Shabbat March 2, 22 Adar 1
March 01, 2024 06:30 - 44 minutes - 32.8 MBThe Gemara continues to compare the law in our Mishna to tannatic opinions in other cases of disputed money that seem to reach different halakhic conclusions. Distinctions are made between the various cases to prove that our Mishna could match the opinions of the tannaim in those sources as the details of our case are different and would therefore lead to a different ruling. Rabbi Chiya rules that if the defendant denies a claim but witnesses testify that the defendant owes half the conteste...
Bava Metzia 2 - March 1, 21 Adar 1
March 01, 2024 06:07 - 46 minutes - 34.1 MBIf two people are holding onto a tallit - each one claiming they found it or each claiming it belongs entirely to them, the Mishna rules that each one swears that no less than half is theirs and they split it (or sell it and split the value). If one claims it is entirely theirs and the other claims that half is theirs, one takes an oath that no less than three-quarters belongs to him/her and the other takes an oath on one-quarter and the item is split accordingly. The law would be the same i...

Is the informant liable to return the value of the item? On what does it depend? The Gemara brings a series of cases where Jews informed Gentiles about the whereabouts of others' possessions and the rulings of the rabbis are brought. In the context of a story about a Jew who wanted to inform about another, we are told of a famous story of the showdown between ...
