    Bava Batra 99: The Keruvim

    All you want to know about the cherubim/keruvim, and then some (because of there's dispute). What is their wingspan? What are their positions? Which way are they facing? Plus, 3 mishnayot: Beginning with the location of one home that had a cistern on the other side of another party's home. Also, the various ownership of property, from private to public to the king's road to that of a graveyard.

    Bava Batra 98: The Customer Isn't Always Right

    2 mishnayot! First, wine that goes sour is not the seller's responsibility, unless he knew it would sour. Plus other cases where it turns out that the seller is in fact responsible (e.g., if he brags about how great the wine is before the sale and then it goes bad). Also, the difference between "old wine" and "aged wine" and "cooking wine," in terms of caliber. Second, in the event of building a small home, with modeling on the Beit HaMikdash. Plus, mention of the Wisdom of Ben Sira.

    Bava Batra 97: Consecrations and Kiddush

    Wine that is produced by pouring water over leaves (shemarim) that are terumah - the first 2 pourings are considered terumah still, but by the third, it loses that standing, unless it still has the taste of wine. That question of "taste" carries many ramifications as well. Also, to be able to make kiddush on "wine," the wine itself has to be eligible for libations on the altar.

    Bava Batra 96: Wine, Wine, Wine, Wine... Vinegar

    More on wine that may have become vinegar - this case, in a barrel from which terumot and ma'aserot may have been taken. Does the barrel turn from the top or from the bottom? What if the liquid smells of vinegar, but tastes of wine? How to determine thee time of the turning? Also, more on the suitable use of the generic "Shehakol" blessing, as compared to "Borei Pri HaGefen" blessing - for various beverages.

    Bava Batra 95: Wine into Vinegar

    A seller of wine selling a cellar of wine - where the difference between a barrel vs. the stock carries real implications for the shift from wine to vinegar being an issue for the sale. Also, when wine is sold in a store, the blessing over it should be the one for wine (Borei Pri HaGefen). But there is a risk of the wine becoming vinegar - and when it's turning, or turned, it should get the more generic "Shehakol" blessing.

    Bava Batra 93: The Seller's Obligation in Making the Sale

    More on the dispute between Rav and Shmuel - on whether the seller owes the buyer the value of the error in the event that the merchandise sold was not as it should have been. Also, the saga of fighting camels - where the original owner might be liable for the loss of one of them. Plus, the question of the application of the concepts of "rov" and "chazakah" in establishing whether there was an error in the sale. Also, does the seller of defunct seeds need to pay for the loss of the seeds, or also pay for all the expenses that went into planting the seeds? Note: We had some technical difficulties with the recording of this episode and apologize for the choppiness at the end of the recording.

    Bava Batra 92: Let the Buyer Beware (Or Not?)

    Beginning chapter 6 - with a new mishnah. One who sells produce that is sometimes used for eating and sometimes for planting -- what happens if the buyer plants the item and it doesn't grow? What if one sells an ox and it turns out to be a gorer? When is the seller responsible for the dud of the sale? Plus, when does the issue of "rov" - the majority, especially in terms of expectations - kick in, especially since it's rarely applied in the context of monetary dealings.
