1) Review Gemara 26b  “Vamar Rava raauh Sela ” until next “Amar Rava”  2) Question; In 1st scenerio of Rava Why is it just a present? If someone steals he is obligated to return the item? Learn Tosfos “Matana”? 3) Major Question; Why is the thief permitted to keep the Aveida it came to his hands “Bisur” which blocks his ability to acquire it as Gem 21b says? (see Ramban, Tosfos Bava Kama 66a “Hacha”)

1) Learn next Gemara 26b  “Vamar Rava raauh Sela ” until next “Amar Rava”  2) Rava presents 3 scenarios and the differences in the violations one transgresses.   In the 2 scenario one only violates the mizvah Aseh of “Hashev Teshivun”   Basic Questions;  A) Since the finder is not permitted to keep this aveida because he picked it up to return before the owner was mysash so why does the finder not transgress “Lo Sigzol”? (Rashi “Over” & Tosfos “Eino”) B) Why does he not transgress “Lo Suchal Lhisalem” (Rashi “Over” & Baal Hamaor.  C) When does the Mitzvah of Hashev Tishivun start when one sees the aveida of when one picks it up? Bring a proof from the 3 scenario of Rava.
