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.
