Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Bava Batra 64a, 71a

The Gemara in the fourth perek of Bava Batra addresses the question of whether people selling land, giving gifts, and sanctifying property for hekdesh generally act with an attitude of generosity, making their handover of property more inclusive, or whether they generally act with an attitude of withholding, meaning that they are not looking to give more than the minimum of what their transaction indicates. In this shiur, we will examine the concept of עין יפה, a generous posture on the part of the seller, and why it is such a chiddush!
