September 07, 2026 The Fundamentals of Chavala: Nezek I
Send us Fan Mail
Within many legal frameworks, the laws governing one person harming another lie at a fascinating intersection of criminal and civil law, resulting in both punitive measures and monetary obligations.
Torah and Halacha likewise present the laws of chavala as incorporating elements of both issur and mammon. Indeed, the Torah famously formulates the obligation of nezek (damage) as “an eye for an eye,” while the unanimous view of Chazal is that the pasuk refers to monetary payment.
There are five elements of chavala, resulting in five types of payment: nezek (damage), tzaar (pain), ripui (medical expenses), sheves (lost wages), and boshes (embarrassment).
In this shiur, Rabbi Yehoshua Yaffe begins to develop the underlying concepts of chavala in general and nezek in particular, tracing the evolution from “an eye for an eye” to the practical halacha as it applies today.

June 04, 2026 Little Tyke: The Obligation Of A Destructive Child
Send us Fan Mail
A minor is generally considered to be legally and halachically not responsible for their actions. What happens when a child injures someone or destroys property? Do they have to pay? Do their parents have to pay? Do they have an obligation to make restitution when they become adults?
In this shiur, Rabbi Yaffe discusses the different views and sources on this matter, and the development of the Halacha from the Mishna to the halachic decisors of our times.

Send us Fan Mail
In this shiur, Rabbi Yaffe examines the judicial role of women from the sources, including their role as witnesses, judges, and renderers of Halachic decisions. The Halacha also analyzes and takes into account the historical role of women in such positions, most notably that of Devorah in the Book of Shoftim.

April 15, 2026 Don't Take It Back: Halacha, Repentance, and the Limits of Restitution
Send us Fan Mail
Class By Yehoshua Yaffe: The Torah clearly states that a robber must return the stolen goods. However, the Gemara discusses a rabbinic enactment (takkanat hashavim) that instructs theft victims to refuse repayment in order to ease the robber's teshuva. In this shiur, we will map the relevant Gemara, Rishonim, and Shulchan Aruch, identify the key variables that define the enactment's scope, and discuss the broader halachic principles at play when the law makes room for repentance.

March 11, 2026 Title: You Break - You Pay: Damage Costs in Halacha
Send us Fan Mail
Description: Both in Halacha and American law, when property is damaged, there are two main measures of damages:

1. Cost of Repair The cost to restore the property to its pre-damage condition.

2. Diminution in Value (Resale Value) The difference between the property's fair market value before and after the damage.

In this shiur Rabbi Yehoshua Yaffe will discuss the different opinions in Halacha on this matter and examine the concepts underlying the different viewpoints.
