June 20, 2024 Din & Daf: A (Biblical) Loan is Tzedakah - Mashkon Limitations with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
Bava Metzia general concept: Mashkon
In this shiur, we will examine some of the limitations that the Torah places on lenders towards those who borrow money from them through the halakhot of mashkon. This will give us a sense of how lending money is meant to be a type of tzedakah rather than a cold business transaction.

June 19, 2024 The Contractor's Oath - Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni
Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha
Bava Metzia 112
Why does a contractor collect his wages via an oath? Why not believe the employer? The gemara explains that an employer is readily confused and doesn't remember who has been paid, and is therefore less trustworthy. Tosafot is extremely troubled by this sugya, and is left without an answer. What is Tosafot's concern? What answers have been offered, and how is all of this connected to the principle of migo? Join us for a Gefet on the contractor's oath.

June 18, 2024 Risk and Faith in Heter Iska - Gefet with Shalhevet Schwartz
Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha
Bava Metzia 104
While we left behind the laws of loans and interest a few weeks ago, our perek gives us an opportunity to turn back and understand one of the mechanisms that allows for us to follow the prohibition of ribit (interest) in a functional modern economy. What is heter iska? How can I take out a mortgage or incur credit card debt without violating the issur of ribit? Join us as we explore these questions together.
Gefet Ep.82
Bava Metzia 100
The Mishnah says that when someone exchanges a pregnant cow for a donkey and there is doubt as to whether the cow gave birth before or after the transaction, the two parties split the value of the calf, and no one is required to take an oath. But in the beginning of our masekhet, we learned that when in doubt about the ownership of a garment that two people are holding, they divide it but need to take an oath. And in Bava Batra, in a case when two people are fighting over land they each claim is theirs, the verdict is "kol d'alim gvar," meaning that they fight over it. What's the difference between the cases? The gemara says that in the case of the animal exchange there is "derara d'mamona," while in the other two cases there is not. But what is derara d'mamona? Rashi and Tosafot offer different explanations -- join us for a deep dive into this famous debate.

June 06, 2024 Din & Daf: The Power of Original Ownership- What’s the Logic? with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
חזקת מרא קמא
⁠⁠source sheet⁠⁠
BM 100
Of the many principles afforded by the Gemara about how to resolve property disputes, perhaps the most surprising is what’s known as חזקת מרא קמא, presuming that the property still belongs to the person who originally owned it even if it is no longer physically there! What is the logic behind this principle? What can it teach us about presumptions about the reality? About ownership? About dealing with uncertainty?

BM 90a
In discussing the prohibition of muzzling an animal as it does farm work, the Gemara asks whether one may ask a non-Jew to muzzle the animal and work it instead. What is the logic behind the prohibition to ask a non-Jew to perform an action for a Jew that the Jew herself may not perform?

Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and Tosfot
An in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz (Episode 80)
Bava Metzia 86
In its discussion of provisions for workers, the gemara speaks about Avraham's seudah and notes that the angels didn't actually eat there. Tosafot is surprised, and says that this is up for debate! So who is it who thinks that the angels really ate, and why would someone say something so bizarre? Join is for this unique Gefet, which bridges halakha and aggadah.
