Tonight’s סוגיא: The differences between the 6 ערי מקלט and the 42 ערי לויה
Learn משנה bottom of :יב and  .גמרא יג until first set of two dots
Learn תוס יג. מעלים and  רמב”ם ה’ רוצח ח,י
Question’s:
  • Why does רש”י say the city has to pay for the rent of the רוצח, and not the רוצח himself?
  • According to תוס explanation of ר”י does the רוצח have to pay the rent?
  • Why does תוס say שכר means taxes and not rent which is the simple meaning of the word? ערוך לנר
  • What are the other differences in הלכה between the 6 ערי מקלט and the 42 ערי לויה?

Point to ponder: Why are they different?
