Talking Talmud

The daf lists the 10 rules set up by Ezra HaSofer when he resettled the land. Plus there is mention of 10 rules only for Jerusalem. The daf returns to the discussion of what animals may not be raised in Eretz Yisroel by sharing an event that may explain why pig is the biggest non-kosher taboo.

A barita describes ten rules established by Yehoshua when Bnei Yisroel settled the land. Another barita discusses how all of the tribes’ portions shared equal topography.

More on the prohibition against raising certain small animals. Plus, the story of a pious person who had pain in his heart, and the doctors had no cure except for fresh goat milk from the source. Also, the respect paid to rabbis by each other, and the prohibition against owning a cat (especially white cats; black cats might be okay). Plus, signing on the dotted line to purchase a home in the land of Israel, even on Shabbat.

How a thief can take formal possession of an animal even while on the owner's property, depending on when the thief leaves that property, for example. Plus, a discussion of why the ganav is treated more stringently than a gazlan is. Also, a new mishnah: specific animals that were not allowed to be raised in the land of Israel. Including specific details of sheep, goats, chickens, and dogs, among other small(ish) animals, including what may be the original leash law.

How does the prohibition against mating diverse kinds of animals impact the fourfold or fivefold payments. Plus our favorite halakhic animal the Koy appears on the daf. A new Mishnah discussed what happens when only part of the animal is sold after it is stolen.

A tiny page of Gemara on amud left, with a massive amount of commentary by the Baalei HaTosafot - on the red heifer, and a parallel discussion from the tractate Hullin. Specifically, on whether the meat of kodshim and dough can join together to form a minimum measure (spoiler: they do not). Also, more on the slaughtering that takes place with the animal that has been stolen.... and how an animal that has been improperly slaughtered can be accounted for.

The daf examines the opinion of Rabbi Shimon and his distinction between payment of the fourfold or fivefold fine in the case of a korban with achraut versus a korban without achraut. Rabbi Yochanon and Reish Lakish disagree how to understand Rabbi Shimon and what is the significance that this discussion quotes amoraim from Eretz Yisroel?

[Who's Who: Rabban Gamliel and Tavi] The case of witnesses and admission, and when in that timeline one's obligation to pay a fine kicks in. Plus, the involvement of the court in the payment, and how far the court (and the witnesses) can go in charging the penalty. Plus, the thief's admission. Also, the different functioning of admission, and whether it gets one out of paying or ropes one into paying more.

More on the disagreement between Abaye and Rava on the Mishnah from 70a. The daf then shares a new Mishnah which is the inverse of the Mishnah on 70a.

Rabbi Yosi's opinion on the witnesses who saw the theft and the slaughter or sale. Plus, a conversation about the generations of dispute in this arena. Also, Rava on the potentially conspiring witnesses.
