Valid Interest Loan Witness?! - Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni

Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and Tosfot An in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz (Episode 79) Bava Metzia 72 75 Are witnesses who testified about a loan with interest considered valid? The Mishnah at the end of the perek clarifies that witnesses violate the lav of "lo tesimun alav neshech" , and Tosafot explains that sometimes they also violate the prohibition of "lifnei iver". In light of our sugya, it's difficult to understand how the gemara on Daf 72 says that a document attesting to a loan with interest is considered valid. How could it be that it's a valid document if the witnesses are violating halakha, and those who violate halakha are invalid witnesses?! Tosafot offers a fascinating solution to this problem -- join us for a deep time as we approach the end of the perek.

Din & Daf: Not Taking Interest - Sure. Not Giving It - Why Not? - Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain source sheet Similar to ona’at mammon, in which neither the consumer nor the seller may perform it (consumer can’t underpay; seller can’t overcharge), the prohibition of taking interest applies to both borrower and lender (borrower can’t give it; lender can’t charge/accept it). How does this factor impact our understanding of what the prohibition of interest (ribit) is all about? Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.il

Din & Daf: Our Possessions, Our Selves with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study source sheet The gemara in Bava Metzia 58b states that oppression with speech (ona’at devarim) is a greater sin than oppression with finances (ona’at mammon). One reason given is because while the latter affects money, the former affects the “self.” This distinction is well-worn among Chazal, both in terms of protecting/harming someone’s possessions vs. their person and in terms of using one’s own possessions vs. one’s own person to do good. We will examine this distinction in this shiur. Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.il

Din & Daf: The Multi-Dimensional History of Ona'a - Dr. Elana Stein Hain

This seems far afield from the description of ona’ah in the Torah (Vayikra 25). What does the discrepancy between the two tell us about the various dimensions of ona’at mammon?

Din & Daf: Borrowing without Permission with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Din & Daf: Borrowing without Permission: Why is it Problematic? Bava Metzia 41, 43 source sheet The Gemara in BM 41a and 43b claim that one who uses another person’s items without permission is a thief and she is liable for damages if someone happens to the item even after she finished using it! Why should this be so, especially where the “borrower” returned the item to where she found it before anything happened to it? Is this categorization always relevant? In this shiur, we will examine the logic behind this categorization of thief, especially what it suggests about personal ownership in halakhah. Dr. Elana Stein Hain - dinanddaf@hadran.org.il

Din & Daf: Negligence & Responsibility with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Negligence, followed by unavoidable interference: Who’s at fault? Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.il source sheet Bava Metzia 36a-b discusses the concept of תחילתו בפשיעה וסופו באונס, damage that resulted from a process that began with negligence but most immediately was caused by unavoidable interference. Should the person who was negligent originally be liable for compensation, does the unavoidability of the immediate cause of the damage change the equation of guilt? This is a great test case for considerations of responsibility!

Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and Tosfot An in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Shalhevet Schwartz This week, we will address the question of when a litigant can take back voluntary commitments that he took upon himself in beit din. In general, beit din is a place where judges act coercively, but sometimes a litigant is willing to take on commitments beyond those of the black letter law -- in such cases, do those litigants have the option to back out?

Din & Daf: Lifnim Mishurat Hadin - Do we compel people to go above and beyond the law? with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Bava Metsia 30b source sheet The Gemara introduces the concept of lifnim mi-shurat ha-din, often described as going above and beyond the letter of the law. But what does this category actually mean? Does this mean that a person can choose whether or not to do it? If so, what are the ramifications of that? And if it can be forced, who can and enforce it, and how is it still considered going beyond the letter of the law? Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.il
