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”)
