Bava Metzia 102: Shiluach HaKan
Who takes the mezuzot in a rented property? The daf discusses the mitzvah of sending a mother bird away to collect her eggs in a rented property.
-
Bava Metzia 101: Uprooted Trees and Evicted Homes
The daf discusses the ownership of a tree that is uprooted and lands on someone else’s property. How much notice must be given before evicting a tenant?
-
Bava Metzia 100: Oath-taking to Establish a Sale (except for slaves)
The laws of transactions between buyers and sellers, in parallel to borrowers and lenders. With the example of a pregnant cow that was traded for a donkey... What happens when the parties take opposite positions with differing levels of certainty? Also, the Gemara delves into slaves in the slave market, worth different values - and a buyer and seller who disagree over which slave had been purchased. Plus, a new mishnah on selling olive trees, which then bear fruit. Whose olives are they?
-
Bava Metzia 99: 50 Dates Minus 1
Rav discusses a case when a slave brings the borrowed object to the borrower and how does that affect the borrower’s liability. If a stolen item can have different values what does the thief pay the owner?
-
Bava Metzia 98: Liable for a Partial Admission
If one person says to another - you owe me 100 dinar, and the other says, I only owe you 50, I don't know ow about the other half - which means he can't swear, because he's not sure... he has to pay the entire amount. That case has a parallel in our mishnah... plus, if you borrow a cow and also the cow owner's services, the question is when is the borrower (or renter) liable? What if there are several stints of borrowing?
-
Bava Metzia 97: When the Mice Unite against a Cat
Stories! Unexpected work related harm - gender dynamics and the unlikelihood of mice going after a cat. That is, circumstances of death that we don't expect. Plus, issues of an owner's liability and how to maneuver around it. Also, a new mishnah on how the borrower differs from the renter in terms of liability when a borrower (or rented) animal dies while being either borrowed or rented.
