Rabbi Bodenheim’s Monday Night Gemara Shiur Bava Metzia 26B (02/20/2012)

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”)

Mareh Mekomos for Rabbi Bodenheim’s Feb. 15th Wednesday Night Shiur

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.

We discussed last week the conclusion of the Gemara on a “Safeik Hinuach” that if one picked up the item he should not return it to the place where it was found.  We had 3 explanations 1.Rashi, 2.Tosfos “Vim Notal” 3. Tosfos brought another explanation “Vyesh Lfaresh” 1) What is the point of argument between the two interpertations of Tosfos?  According to the 2nd explanation of Tosfos 2) when is one required to return a lost item a) upon sight b) when pick up the objest? and why? 3) How does Tsfos explain the Gemara Yerushalmi?
Learn Rosh SIman 8 starting from “Kllala Dmilsa’ until the end

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim’s Monday Night Gemara Shiur (12/19/2011)

Important question; According to Rav Chanina if one finds three coins of equal size stacked one on top of each other he may keep them because maybe they fell in this fashion.  How could this be? We rule by Safek Hinuach one is not permitted to keep the item, how do we know conclusively that someone did not intentionally stacked the coins this way?
Learn  1) Gemara 25a “Mai Machriz” (5 lines before bottom of page) until “Bai R’ Yirmiya” 2) In conclusion is identifying how the coins were placed an acceptable Siman? (Learn Chidushei Ran, Ritva) 3) If one identifies the place where the coins were found an acceptable Siman? (Learn Tosfos “Vhu”)  Question; Why is the number 2 not an acceptable Siman of Minyan?

Learn 1) Gemara 24b “(2 dots) Rav Chanina… until Mishna  2) Why by the case of finding slaughtered chickens, where the ruling was that the finder was permitted to keep and eat, did the Gemara not use this as a proof that we rule like R’ Shiman ben Elazar even by majority Jews? What do we conclude in Halacha, do we Pasken like Raban Shimon ben Elazar by majority A) gentiles, B) Jews? See Nimukei Yosef, and Rosh end of siman 7.  3) What do we conclude according to Halacha regarding scenerio’s where there was Yiush yet the loser comes and gives a Siman. Is one obligated to return it based on Lifnim Mishuras Hadin?  (See Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat Siman 259,5
