Bava Metzia 24 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-23 Returning new articles to a Torah scholar. One who finds something in a major thoroughfare, they belong to the finder. Finding slaughtered animals.

Bava Metzia 23 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-22 Indentifying marks- if they are likely to be trampled upon, if they could have come about on its own. Is the place where an item is found, or the number of items found, significant?

Bava Metzia 22 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-21 Separating terumah on behalf of someone. A lost item swept away by a river is permitted to be kept by the finder - and this resolves the "despair with awareness" discussion.

Bava Metzia 21: Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-20 Finds that have to be announced and those that can be kept. Quantity of item lost vs the effort in recovering it. Despair without awareness ie where the owner would despair of retrieving his article if he would know it was lost, but is not yet aware.

Bava Metzia 20: Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-19 Returning the receipt from a ketubah. A document of the Beth Din is returned to the one named in the document. A receipt found in the lender’s possession, even if it is written in his own handwriting, merely mocks the borrower, and is invalid.

Bava Metzia 19 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-18 Why returning a get will not cause a loss to possible buyers of her fields’ produce. A sickbed will compared to a normal gift document. Preventing people from falsely removing gifts from a beneficiary.

Bava Metzia 18 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-17 Ripping a get to show it has been paid. Using a lost get which was found. Using specific signs to identify a get.

Bava Metzia 17 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-16 Being established as a liar regarding a particular transaction. Returning a document dated that day. If someone claims he paid an obligation imposed by an act of Beth Din, he is not believed.

Bava Metzia 16 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-15 If the robber purchased the field from the owner after “selling” it. Transacting with something that has not entered the world. Are we concerned about repayment of a lost document?

Bava Metzia 15 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-14 Are the improvements the buyer made to the land reimbursed? One who bought property knowing the seller did not own it.

Bava Metzia 14 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-13 Leaving out a guarantee clause is assumed to be a scribal error. When protests come out against a field being sold. Payment of improvements for stolen land.

Bava Metzia 13 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-12 Documents of acquisition may be written beforehand. Are we worried about collusion leading to unlawfully collecting property from earlier purchasers? What can a document without a property lien be used to collect?

Bava Metzia 12 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-11 Acquiring through a courtyard. The finds of a young child belong to his father. Dispute about returning found loan documents, when the debtor admits.

Bava Metzia 11 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-10 If one must stand at the side of his field to acquire. Rabban Gamliel on the ship. It is different when another mind transfers ownership to the recipient.

Bava Metzia 10: Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-09 A person’s four amot acquire for him anywhere. Acquiring through a courtyard - is that more like one's hand or one's agent? An agent for a transgression.

Bava Metzia 9 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-08 Acquiring a bridle held up by a rider and someone holding its end. Pulling an animal to acquire utensils thereon. Can one gather pe'ah on behalf of a poor person?

Bava Metzia 8 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-07 Can one acquire a found item on behalf of someone else or does one need to acquire it partially for himself? Riding an animal vs leading it. Transferring the reins of an animal.

Bava Metzia 7 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-06 Each person is entitled to as far as his hand can grasp. A get on a string. A lost document - to whom can it be returned?

Bava Metzia 6 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-05 A person is reluctant to swear falsely more than taking a doubtful amount. Someone who grabs a cloak away in front of the judges. A Kohen who siezes a doubtful firstborn animal.

Bava Metzia 5 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-04 The shepherd who was caught eating two of the sheep in his care. An ordinary shepherd is invalid as a witness. Is a person suspect in monetary matters, also suspect regarding swearing?

Bava Metzia 4 : Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-03 If partial admission requires an oath, then certainly witnesses who testify to part of a debt would obligate an oath? Denying a portion and admitting the other portion and giving it back immediately - "heilach".

Bava Metzia 3: Marc Chipkin: 2024-03-02 Thwarting a deceiver. Rabbi Chiya maintains that one swears when part of a debt is established by witnesses.

Bava Metzia 2 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-03-01 Two people holding a cloak and saying they found it and it is all theirs. Each has to swear about a portion thereof.

Bava Kamma 119 : Marc Chipkin : 2024-02-29 Destroying an informer’s property. Robbing someone is like taking his life. Which leftover materials may be kept by the craftsman, and which belong to the owner.
