Rava proves from a braita that it will continue to be forbidden. If one uses the language of " konam these f...

Why is it forbidden to not only borrow from but also to lend to someone one is forbidden by a vow to benefit from? If one won't lend one's cow to the other and the other vows never to use that cow to plow their field, is it only forbidden for the one who vowed, but others can do it for them? On what does it depend? The Mishna describes a number of different situations where one wants to help anoth...

The Mishna rules that one can visit a sick person if they are forbidden to benefit from them, as long as they stand and do not sit.
