Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Wednesday Night Gemara Shiur Bava Metzia 27B Chaishinan (4/18/2012)

Wednesday Night Gemara Shiur Bava Metzia 27B Chaishinan

1) Major Question; If we are worried an object was lent and therefore do not accept Simanim there should never be a case that one could return an item since we should be concerned even if the claimant can give proper identification that the item was once his but was subsequently sold or gifted? Ritva 27a “Keilav”  2) Question; Why does the Gemara not bring a proof from the Mishna on 20a and 24b that we are not worried items were lent?  See end of Tosfos 20b “Matza”, Rosh end of First Perek Siman 50. 3) Learn Gemara 27b 3rd 1st wide line “Leima Ktanai” until “Amar Rava”  4) Fundemental Question (Chakira); What is the reason Simanim would not be accepted according to the Torah? Is it because we are concerned A. the person is lying, or B. there is another item with exactly the same Siman therefore the Siman is not conclusive proof to whom is the real owner? Bring a proof

1) Learn Gemara 27b 3rd 1st wide line “Leima Ktanai” until “Amar Rava”  2) Fundamental Question (Chakira); What is the reason Simanim would not be accepted according to the Torah?

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Monday Night Gemara Shiur Bava Metzia 27A Tanu Rabbanan

1) Gemara from 2 dots “Tanu Rabanan .. until “Rava amar 2) Question; The gemara listed three scenarios which are  excluded from the obligation to return:  1. A lost item that is worth less then a Pruta, 2. Aveida of an Akum is 3. Item lost by banks of river.  Is it also permitted to keep these items? & if it is, Why is in not considered stealing? What removed the ownership of the original owner?

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.

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
