This week we will learn that when one buys 2 trees, you don’t get the rights to the land under the trees. Therefore, if the tree dies, you can’t plant another tree. But if you buy 3 trees, you get the rights to the land between the 3 trees.  Therefore, if one of the trees dies, you can plant another tree on the land. We will also learn how to finalize a sale of a movable object using one of the ac...

This week we will learn what is included in the sale of a house, courtyard, city, bathhouse, olive press, and field. This is when there were no other details enumerated in the contract. Objects essential to the thing being sold are generally included in the sale, whereas non-essential objects aren’t included. For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://webyeshiva.org/...

This week we will learn that one can make a Chazaka on permanent objects, not temporary ones. The Gemara also teaches when someone can put in a window that looks into public or shared spaces.

This week we will continue to discuss how a person can establish a Chazaka (ownership) of land without producing a sales document. If he worked the land for 3 years and the owner didn’t claim that the land was his, the occupant can stay on the land. However, if the owner was in another region of Israel or out of the country, the occupant can’t create a chazaka. The occupant must also claim that he...
