THIS WEEK'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY JONATHAN AIBEL IN HONOR OF NATASHA SHABAT. "GIVING IN HONOR OF MY TEACHER, WHO HAS OPENED MANY DOORS OF TORAH FOR ME." Rava explained the opinion of Rabbi Shimon in the Mishna to be referring to a case where the woman sent an agent to accept a betrothal for her and specified with what the husband would betroth her and the messenger accepted something else of higher value. He ruled that this betrothal is effective as she was merely suggesting a possible method. Abaye explains that Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel and Rabbi Elazar each hold the same thing but in a different case - one regarding a regular document/tied document and the other regarding a woman who appoints an agent to receive her divorce document and also specifies the location where the agent is to go to receive it. Ula qualified the debate between Rabbi Shimon and the rabbis as a case of differences in monetary value, but not differences in social status as not every woman would be happy to marry a man of higher status. A braita is brought to strengthen his qualification and it is derived from the Mishnayot here as well. Mar, the son of Rav Ashi raises a difficulty about the derivation from the Mishna but it is resolved in two possible ways. The Gemara brings in a braita with possible terms a husband can use as a condition when betrothing a wife and an explanation is brought for each as to what is meant by that, such as, "that I am a learner," what type of learner does he need to be, i.e. how do we check the veracity of his statement? Following a discussion on "on the condition that I am wise" which mentioned a number of examples of the best of the sages, the Gemara agra brings a series of statements: "Ten measures of...came down to the world and nine of them were taken by..."
The Gemara continues with suggestions by quoting tannaitic sources that Rav's statement that a man cannot betroth a woman by canceling a loan is a tannaitic debate. However, each source can be explained in several different ways, showing that the tannaitic debate in the source is not necessarily about the issue that Rav was discussing. If one betrothed woman and said with what item he was betrothing her and it turned out it was not what he said, is the betrothal effective? Does it depend on what item was stated and what item was actually used?
Rava holds that according to Rabbi Ami who thinks that the case in the Mishna where the woman ate each date as it was given to her is referring to the case of "this one and this one," it would be limited to that case only and not to one where the man said, "betroth me with all of these." A braita is brought to support this statement of Rava. After explaining how the braita supports Rava, they need to explain how to read the last line in the braita according to Rav and Shmuel and Rabbi Ami. Rav holds that a betrothal cannot be effected by canceling a loan that the woman owes the man because a loan is intended for spending and therefore the money owed is not considered owned by the man. Is this a subject of debate among tannaim? Two braitot are brought to attempt to show that what Rav said is a tannaitic debate. However, they reject both suggestions as each braita can be explained to be referring to a debate about a different subject. Another braita is brought to raise a difficulty against Rav. But, again, to resolve the difficulty, they suggest an alternative reading of the braita, which then again raises the possibility that Rav's statement is a subject of debate among tannaim, but this too is rejected.
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY THE HADRAN ZOOM FAMILY IN HONOR OF THE MARRIAGE OF SHIRLI NOIMAN TO AMITAI LEVY, THE SON OF OUR CO-LEARNER, DAHLIA LEVY. "בין כסה לעשור, WE CONTINUE TO LEARN AND CELEBRATE! MAZEL TOV!" A minor who was betrothed and married to a without her father’s consent, can she eat ? How is this case different from the previous cases? A man who betrothed a woman with dates and with each date he gave her, said "You will be betrothed to me with this date, be betrothed to me with this date," if one of them is worth a , it is a valid betrothal. If he said, "You will be betrothed to me with this date and this date and this date," then if there is a value of a between all the dates, she is betrothed. If she ate each date as he gave it to her, there needs to be the value of a in one of them. This last ruling is said about the first case or about the second case ("be betrothed to me with this date, be betrothed to me with this date," or "with this date and this date and this date"). If one betroths his sister, do we assume he gave her the money as a deposit (and she must return it) or as a gift (and she does not have to return it)? Rav and Shmuel disagree. A difficulty is raised against Shmuuel from a Mishna in Halla 2:5, but is resolved.
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY JASON, ERICA, AND RAQUEL IN HONOR OF THEIR MOTHER, PATTY BELKIN ON HER BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY. "WISHING A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR AMAZING MOTHER!" Ulla held that if a minor girl accepted a betrothal and her father did not react, the betrothal is completely invalid. Two sources (a Mishna and a braita) are brought to raise a difficulty with his ruling, but the difficulties are resolved. Rav and Shmuel ruled that there is a doubt to whether or not the father agreed and therefore she must receive a and do in order to be able to marry someone else. If the man who betrothed her died, and she became obligated in levirate marriage with the brother, and he performed , Rav held that she needs to receive a , perform and do with the brother of her deceased husband. If a father arranged a betrothal for his son, is there concern that perhaps the son agreed, just as there is concern that perhaps a father agreed to his minor daughter's betrothal? A story is told about a father who disagreed with his wife as to whether to marry off their daughter to his or her relatives. In the end, he conceded to his wife to marry her off to her relative, but at the betrothal ceremony, one of his relatives betrothed her in the attic. Is there concern that the father was pleased with this as it was his original desire? What is the ruling if a minor was betrothed by her father but then married him without the father's knowledge when the father was out of town? Can she eat if her husband is a ? How would the ruling be different if the father was in town and did not say anything when he heard of the marriage?
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED IN HONOR OF DAHLIA AND JACK LEVY ON THE MARRIAGE OF THEIR SON, AMITAI TO SHIRLI NOIMAN. There is a disagreement between Rabbi Yehuda and the rabbis about whether a can accept her own or only her father can. Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree about whether the debate between them is also for kiddushin or do they both agree that the father must accept the kiddushin. What is the reason for Rabbi Yochanan who distinguishes between divorce and kiddushin? A braita states that a can accept (which is like for a ). How is this braita explained according to both Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish's positions? Our Mishna can also be used to raise a difficulty with Reish Lakish's position as only the father can appoint a messenger, not the . The first suggestion is to associate our Mishna with Rabbi Yehuda's position. However, this suggestion is rejected as the next Mishna does not follow Rabbi Yehuda's position. The conclusion is that both Mishnayot follow Rabbi Shimon who must hold like Rabbi Yehuda regarding the issue of the . Rabbi Avin testified that he was in the beit midrash when the rabbis voted to accept Rabbi Yochanan's position against Reish Lakish and permit only a father to accept the betrothal of a . Rava asked Rav Nachman: if a can accept her , can she appoint an agent to accept it on her behalf or is it only the father that can do that? On what exactly is Rava's deliberation based? Rav Nachman answered that a cannot appoint an agent to accept her . They raise a difficulty against his ruling from a Mishna in Gittin, but resolve it. If a minor girl accepted a betrothal on her own and when her father heard, he was silent, is that an indication that he accepted her actions and the betrothal is valid on a Torah level or not? Shmuel and Ulla disagree regarding this case.

TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY GITTA AND DAVID NEUFELD IN LOVING MEMORY OF MEIR BEN ARYEH LEIB HALEVI, MARVIN STOKAR. "ALTHOUGH HIS TITLE OF ZAIDY WAS AN HONORARY ONE, HE AND (LEHAVDIL BEIN CHAYIM LECHAYIM) BUBBY FRAN WERE - AND CONTINUE TO BE - AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR FAMILY. HIS LOVE OF ALL LEARNING AND OF ERETZ YISRAEL WERE SURPASSED ONLY BY HIS LOVE AND CARE FOR OUR DEAR BUBBY FRAN. MAY HE CONTINUE TO BE A MEILITZ YOSHER FOR HER AND ALL OF US!" Why do we say that a person who sends a messenger to commit a sin is not punished, but the messenger is? Even though there are some cases where the sender is liable, we do not build a paradigm from those cases to learn about all other commandments – why not? Shamai the elder has a different approach. There are three different interpretations explaining his opinion. Can a messenger also function as a witness in a case where he was also the messenger? Rav and Rabbi Shila disagree. What is at the root of their debate? A question is raised against Rav’s position from a Beit Shamai/Beit Hillel debate but is resolved. The ruling is that the messenger can function as a witness. Rav Nachman rules this way in marriage, divorce, and monetary law. Why did each need to be specified? Why was he not concerned in monetary law that the messenger is a party to the transaction? How did this change once the rabbis required a oath? Can a young woman () accept a get for divorce or accept a marriage betrothal or only her father can? In what case is there a disagreement?
Study Guide Kiddushin 42 THIS WEEK'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY JENNIFER BAUMER IN HONOR OF RABBANIT MICHELLE FARBER. "AS WE APPROACH THE HALFWAY MARK IN THE DAF YOMI CYCLE. I DO NOT THINK I WOULD HAVE MADE IT PAST ERUVIN WITHOUT HER INSIGHTFUL AND PATIENT DAILY TEACHING. KOL HAKAVOD TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE IT THIS FAR." TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY DEBBIE PINE IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER MOTHER, FLORENCE PINE, FAYGA BAT MOSHE MORDECHAI V'SARAH RIVKA, ON HER 3RD YAHRZEIT. "HER PRESENCE IS SORELY MISSED EVERY DAY AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE CHAGIM. ." From where does Rabbi Yonatan derive laws of in if he uses the verse that was used previously to prove this for a different drasha? Rav is quoted as bringing a different source for shlichut. However, after raising two difficulties about this source, other suggestions are offered to understand these words of Rav. In conclusion, this comes to teach about the distribution of orphans of their father's property by guardians. Rav Nachman and Shmuel disagreed on the matter of guardians distributing orphans' property - can the orphans protest when they are older? Is there a contradiction between Rav Nachman ruling on this issue and his ruling on another issue regarding judges' evaluation? Rav Nachman holds that laws of apply to orphans when distributing their father's property, but that there are laws of fraud in orphans who divide their property says their father, but Rava limits what Rav Nachman said. The Gemara brings in a braita that teaches that there is no messenger for sinning - if a messenger is sent to sin, the punishment is on the messenger and not the sender. But why isn't it derived from laws of , where there is a messenger for sinning, i.e. the sender gets punished and not the messenger?
A woman and a man can each be present to effect the betrothal or they can each send messengers to effect the betrothal on their behalf. A father can betroth his daughter when she is a , even via a messenger. Why does the Mishna need to mention that the husband can do the betrothal himself? It is to teach that it is better for one to perform the mitzva themselves than to have someone do it on their behalf. Some people think it is forbidden to send a messenger as perhaps when he sees his wife after the betrothal, she will not find favor in his eyes and he will not want to marry her. This is not a concern for the woman as Reish Lakish understood that women would prefer always to be married than not married. The Mishna states that the father betroths the daughter when she is a naara, but not when she is a minor, even though he can also do it when she is a minor. They derive from here that a father should not betroth a woman so young as she should be at the age where she consents to the marriage. Can a messenger appoint another messenger? From where do we derive the concept of and that a messenger can 'fill the shoes' of the one who sent him/her and is considered as if the action was performed by the one who sent the messenger?
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY HEATHER STONE IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER MOTHER ELLIE, ESTHER BINA BAT AVRAHAM V’RACHEL LEAH ON HER 12TH YAHRZEIT. "I LEARNED TO BE STRONG AND RESILIENT FROM MOM. SHE USED STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE TO SERVE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF NJ FOR DECADES." TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY SHIRA DICKER IN HONOR OF ARI'S 74TH BIRTHDAY. "TO ARI, MY LIFE PARTNER, MAY YOUR LOVE OF LEARNING AND JUDAISM GROW AND DEEPEN AND MAY ALL WHO ENGAGE IN THE STUDY OF THE SACRED BOOKS OF OUR TRADITION FIND STRENGTH AND SUSTENANCE THEREIN. MAZEL TOV!!!!!" Anyone who is tempted to sin and then refrains from committing the transgression receives a reward as one would have received for doing a mitzva. Three stories are given to illustrate this concept. Rava raises a difficulty on the Mishna in Peah 1:1 which mentions all the mitzvot for which one receives a reward in this world and in the next world - why is the sending of the mother bird not mentioned there as well? Rav Nachman answers that this refers only to mitzvot that are good for heaven (God) and good for others (humans), which is not the case with sending the mother bird, which is only a commandment that relates to God. The reward of a mitzvah is greater than the punishment for transgressions in several matters - in rewards there is a principle and fruits (extra/bonus) and in punishments only a principle, except for offenses that include blasphemy. By performing a mitzva, one is rewarded even for the thought of performing a mitzva even if in the end one is unable to fulfill the mitzva, and in punishments, one is not punished for the thought alone. However, there are some exceptions – a premeditated sin that one commits will come with a more severe punishment. One who thinks to worship idols is punished. According to Ulla, one is punished for the thought of committing an offense after one has already committed the same sin twice and it became thought of as permitted in one’s mind. There is power in one mitzvah to tip the scales - both personally and for the whole world. A righteous person who rebels at the end of his/her days or a wicked person who repents is judged by the end. On what does this depend? What is greater - learning Torah or actions? Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva disagree on the matter and the sages decided that the Talmud is greater because it leads to actions.
Different opinions are offered regarding whether or not laws of apply outside of Israel and if they do apply, does it apply to produce that is ? Rabbi Yochanan ruled strictly both about orla and diverse kinds () outside of Israel to the extent that he said that one who transgresses the prohibition of diverse kinds receives lashes. How could this be if diverse kinds outside of Israel are only forbidden by rabbinic law? To resolve this, they distinguish between tree grafting and planting seeds of diverse kinds. Rav Yosef was mixing seeds together and planting them. They raise a difficulty against this from the Mishna that holds that diverse kinds are forbidden by rabbinic law outside of Israel. To resolve this, they distinguish between diverse kinds in a vineyard (forbidden) and diverse seeds planted together (permitted). The Mishna states that one who performs one mitzva is rewarded with good things, long life and inherits the land. One who does not perform one mitzva, does not receive these blessings and does not inherit the land. How is this Mishna reconciled with the Mishna in Peah 1:1 that there are specific mitzvot for which one receives reward in this world? There are several ways to understand our Mishna - is it referring to reward in this world or the next world? Rabbi Yaakov, after seeing a child fulfilling both the mitzva of honoring his father and sending off the mother bird, both of which promise long life, and falling and dying on his way down the tree, he concluded that righteous people suffer in this world in order to receive more reward in the World-to-Come. This same story caused Elisha ben Avuya to leave the religion. Some suggest it was a different incident - that he saw the tongue of Chutzpit the translator being dragged on the floor by a pig after he was killed by the Romans.
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY PROF. JONATHAN BEN-EZRA IN HONOR OF DR. ROBIN ZEIGER, FOR COMPLETING HALF OF TOGETHER TODAY!! "TO MY BETTER HALF, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO COMPLETING THE OTHER HALF OF OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER. ALSO THANK YOU TO RABBANIT MICHELLE." When the Jews entered the land of Israel after being in the desert, they stopped eating the on the 16th of Nisan and began eating from the new grains. Can this offer proof that when the Torah states "in your dwelling places" as it is mentioned regarding the prohibition to eat from the new grains, it is not referring to after having conquered and settled in the land? A number of braitot are brought regarding the and the date of Moshe's birth and death. Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai offers his own explanation , and are applicable also outside of Israel - based on the word "in your dwelling places," and the others by logical inference () from . His son, Rabbi Elazar, disagrees with the three exceptions and offers two different exceptions instead - cancellations of loans in the year and release of slaves in the Jubilee year. Why are each of those cases considered part of the category of land-related commandments? A Mishna in Orla 3:9 explains that each of the three laws that are exceptions and apply outside of Israel are derived in different manners - one from the Torah, one and one by the rabbis. What is meant by ''? Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel says it means the people took it upon themselves, while Ulla in the name of Rabbi Yochanan says it is '.' Ulla raises a difficulty on Rav Yehuda from the previous part of the Mishna in Orla 3:9.
Study Guide Kiddushin 37 TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY HEATHER STONE IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER GRANDMOTHER, ROSE, RACHEL LEAH BAT AHARON V’GOLDA. "SHE TAUGHT ME TO LIGHT SHABBAT CANDLES AND WHOSE MOTHER’S BRASS CANDLESTICKS I USE." Which mitzvot are only applicable in Israel and which ones are applicable everywhere? Many mitzvot in the Torah are introduced by the words "when you come into the land" and/or "in your dwelling places" - what words/combination of words indicate that the obligation is in the land of Israel only? This is a subject of debate between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva and there are also two different opinions regarding what Rabbi Yishmael held regarding this matter. If it is clear that mitzvot that are not connected to the land apply in all places and at all times, why was it necessary to use the words "in all dwelling places" in specific mitzvot like Shabbat, the prohibition to eat forbidden fats and blood, and the obligation to eat matza on the first night of Pesach?
THIS MONTH'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY LEAH GOLDFORD IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER GRANDMOTHERS, TZIPPORAH BAT YECHEZKIEL, RIVKA YODA BAT DOVIDE TZVI, BRACHA BAYLA BAT BERYL, WHOSE YAHRZEITS ARE ON ROSH HASHANA. -HER FATHER IN-LAW, CHAIM GERSHON BEN TZVI ARYEH, WHOSE YAHRZEIT IS ON EREV YOM KIPPUR, HER MOTHER, DEVORAH RIVKAH BAT TUVIA HACOHEN, WHOSE YAHRZEIT IS ON HOSHANA RABBAH, HER COUSINS, AVRUM BAER BEN MORDECHAI, WHOSE YAHRZEIT IS ON SIMCHAT TORAH, AND SHARON BAT YAAKOV, WHOSE FIRST YAHRZEIT IS ON 4 TISHREI. "ALL THE MYRIAD THINGS THEY TAUGHT US SERVE AS A TESTAMENT TO THEIR MEMORY AND ALL THESE LESSONS ARE BEING PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION GIVING MEANING BEHIND "MAY THEIR MEMORY BE FOR A BLESSING". THEY BROUGHT US UP TO FEAR HASHEM, WALK IN THE WAYS OF THE TORAH AND MITZVOT, HAVE COURAGE THROUGH EMUNAH IN THE FACE OF UNSPEAKABLE ODDS, REFLECT ON OUR MIDOT, LAUGH, AND LOVE EACH AND EVERY PERSON. . TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY DEBBIE BAUMGARTEN KUSNETZ IN HONOR OF HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, DVORANIT SUSSMAN SCHWARTZ. "FOR ALL SHE DOES FOR HER FAMILY AND STILL MAKES TIME FOR LEARNING THE DAF." There are three different explanations given to explain why Isi added a fourth case to the list of negative commandments that don't apply to women - the prohibition of making oneself bald as a sign of mourning for a loved one. Why do each of them not accept the explanation of the others? There are several actions that are performed in the Temple relating to sacrifices that are traditionally performed by men and not women. The Mishna lists these actions and the Gemara explains from where in the Torah can we derive that each of these actions is meant to be performed only by men. There are two exceptions to the rule - the waving of the Sotah and the Nazirite meal offering. From where is this exception derived?
The Gemara continues to determine from where it is derived that women are obligated in positive commandments that are not time-bound and exempted from time-bound ones. There are three different sources to explain why women are obligated in all negative commandments - what are the differences between the three and why are all necessary? There are three negative commandments that women are exempt from. The derivation of these is discussed at length. Isi brings an additional one and a derivation is brought and analyzed.
THIS WEEK'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY RACHEL GEBALLE AND ELLEN WERLIN IN LOVING MEMORY OF THEIR FATHER, YAAKOV ELI BEN AVRAHAM V'MIRIAM.

TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY CAROLINE OFSTEIN AND MEDINAH KORN IN LOVING MEMORY OF HELEN ABELESZ, Z"L, ON HER SHLOSHIM. "SHE WAS A DEARLY CHERISHED FRIEND WHO GIFTED US WITH HER STRENGTH, WISDOM, INSPIRATION AND INCREDIBLE , AND SHE IS SORELY MISSED BY THE MANY WHO LOVED HER. ." The commandment to honor your elders - does this mean someone who is old, someone who is learned and old or just someone who is learned (even if they are not old)? Does one need to spend money to observe this commandment? Does one need to interrupt one's work to stand for an elder? Does this apply to non-Jews? The elder has a responsibility not to walk in a place where too many people will need to stand up for him. Does a father need to stand for a child who is his teacher? Does that child need to stand in respect for his father? er?
TODAY’S DAF IS DEDICATED BY DEBBIE AND YOSSI GEVIR IN LOVING MEMORY OF THEIR DEAR AND WONDERFUL FRIEND ALVIN GORDON. "ALVIN RETURNED HIS NESHAMA TO HAKADOSH BARUCH HU ON THE 25TH OF ELUL. HIS GREAT WISDOM, JOY, , LOVE OF YAHADUT, GENEROSITY AND HUMOR WILL BE SORELY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW AND LOVED HIM. YEHI ZICHRO BARUCH." * What is the difference between fear and honor of parents? One of the obligations of respect is to feed one's parents. Is the financial responsibility also on the child or is one to use the parent's money? Rav Yehuda says it is on the child and Rav Natan bar Oshaya says it is on the parents. Three sources are brought to raise a difficulty with these opinions. If honoring one's parent conflicts with performing a different , what takes precedence? If a parent or a teacher or a or a king is willing to forego respect for him/herself, can he/she? Is the obligation to respect elders addressing elderly people, Torah scholars, or people who are both elderly and Torah scholars? What are the details of this law? *
TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY LEAH GOLDFORD IN HONOR OF GITTA JAROSLAWICZ-NEUFELD. "A HUGE THANK YOU AND FOR DOING THE NEEDLEWORK FOR MY GRANDSON'S UPCOMING BAR MITZVAH. GITTA IS SO SPECIAL (AS WE ALL KNOW) A DEDICATED AND DECORATED EDUCATOR, A SUPPORTIVE AND LOVING WIFE, MOTHER, AND BUBBY, AN INSIGHTFUL AND CARING PARTNER IN THIS JOURNEY OF OURS IN DAF YOMI. I KNOW YOU ALL JOIN ME WHEN I SAY - WE LOVE YOU GITTA!" TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED BY OR ELIASIAN IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAL BAT SHASHA CHAVA. TODAY'S DAF IS SPONSORED FOR A CONTINUED REFUAH SHLEIMA FOR SHLOMO GAVRIEL BEN ESTHER. How is the commandment to honor one's parents linked to the commandment to honor God? Dama ben Netina was a gentile who respected his father in an exceptional manner and his actions are brought as an example of how to perform the mitzva. Other examples are brought of those others who fulfilled the mitzva of respecting their parents - some are praised and others are criticized. How does one respect one's parents when they are no longer alive?
What are the ideal ages when a child will listen to his/her parents? Is a grandfather obligated to teach his grandson Torah? One should split one's learning - a third Torah, a third Mishna, and a third Talmud - this is derived from the word The early soferim would count all the letters in the Torah and knew which letter/word/verse was the middle one. This capability ceased to exist as the rabbis were no longer certain of which words were written with or without and and where to divide verses. is also used to teach that one should understand the Torah that one has learned very well. is also used to teach that learning Torah is an elixir to protect from the evil inclination. The Gemara continues to discuss the various other obligations a man has toward his son (that were mentioned in the braita in Kiddushin 29) - marrying him off, teaching him a trade, and how to swim. From where are each of these obligations derived? Mitzvot that are incumbent on children to do for their parents, men and women are obligated equally. This is derived from the commandment to fear one's parents. However, a married woman has an exception if her husband's needs conflict with her parent's needs and he insists on his needs superseding theirs.
In redeeming sanctified items, the item is acquired when paying money and not by , pulling. What is the law if the price changes between the paying of the money and the pulling of the item or between the pulling and the paying of the money? The Mishna explains that the mitzvot that a father is required to do for his son are only incumbent on men and not on women (mothers). The Mishna also explains which types of mitzvot are obligatory for women and which are women exempt from, including time-bound positive commandments. The Gemara brings a braita that gives examples of the mitzvot that the father is required to do to his son - circumcision, redeeming the firstborn son, teaching him Torah, marrying him off, teaching him a trade and some say swimming as well. The Gemara begins to go over the examples and brings sources from the Torah for the father’s obligation and the mother’s exemption. Who is obligated in the event that the father doesn’t take care of it?
THIS WEEK'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY ELANA STORCH "THANK YOU TO RABBANIT MICHELLE FOR GUIDING AND NAVIGATING US THROUGH THESE COMPLICATED DAPIM AND FOR CREATING THIS EXTRAORDINARY AND LOVING COMMUNITY OF HADRAN . THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WARM WELCOME IN “REAL TIME” AND IN PERSON HERE IN ISRAEL." TODAY'S LEARNING IS SPONSORED BY THE HADRAN ZOOM GROUP IN HONOR OF THEIR DEAR FRIEND AND CO-LEARNER, JULIE MENDELSOHN, ON HER DAUGHTER HANNAH'S MARRIAGE TO DANIEL. "WE WISH HANNAH AND DANIEL MUCH HAPPINESS, IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT WE LEARNED TOGETHER IN MASEKHET SOTA: איש ואשה זכו -שכינה ביניהם." The source for is from the sotah. How do we know that it applies in monetary law as well? How do we know that we can obligate one in this type of oath, even if the claim against the person is not a definitive claim? Rav gives a case showing the extent to which we can use and Rava explains to which case is Rav referring and why he specifically chose this case. Movable items can be acquired through which can mean bartering or a symbolic act where one of the parties lifts an object. Can this be done with money, produce, or only vessels? The Mishna discusses but there are three different suggestions brought as to how to read/understand the Mishna. Items acquired by the Temple treasury have different laws than regular items. Regular items can only be acquired through pulling while items for the Temple are acquired with money. Designating something with words for the treasury is as if it was pulled and it immediately considered the property of the Temple.
TODAY’S DAF IS SPONSORED BY JUDI FELBER IN LOVING MEMORY OF HER MOTHER, JAN ABRAMSON, YOCHEVED BAT SARA AND TZVI, ON HER 2ND YAHRZEIT. “WOMEN PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN JUDAISM WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO HER.” TODAY’S DAF IS DEDICATED BY THE TANNENBAUM FAMILY IN LOVING MEMORY OF MIRIAM’S MOTHER, RUTH ZEMSKY Z”L RAYZEL BAT YEHOSHUA HALEVI AND CHAYA KILA ON HER 7TH YAHRZEIT. "FOLLOWING IN THE TEACHING OF R’ AKIVA, HER HOME AND SHABBAT TABLE WERE A MODEL OF HER APPROACH TO LIFE; ONE OF BEING LITERALLY AND METAPHORICALLY. HER EXAMPLE CONTINUES TO INSPIRE US DAILY. " A question was asked: can a be effected if the movable items are not found in the land that is being acquired? After several attempts to answer this question, the answer is learned from a source about a document being acquired with land. The conclusion is that it does not need to be physically present on the land. The Gemara raises several other questions regarding . What is the source for one who is obligated to take an oath about one thing, can become obligated to take an oath at the same time to swear regarding other things for which they would not otherwise be obligated to take an oath. The source is derived from the oath of a , a woman accused of being unfaithful to her husband who undergoes the process.

The rabbis and Rabbi Meir disagree regarding a non-Jewish slave about whether or not there is a way to give him money that will not automatically be transferred to his master (for the purposes of him using the money to free himself). The Gemara brings a source regarding a woman taking tithes on her husband's produce and shows that the opinions of Rabbi Meir and the rabbis on that issue seem to contradict what each of them holds in the case of the slave. Abaye and Rava each resolve the contradiction in a different manner. A non-Jewish slave is redeemed if the master knocks out his tooth, his eye or certain extremities of his body that do not regenerate. The derivation of these laws from the verses in the Torah is discussed. Does the slave go free if the eye is not knocked out but is non-functional or if was not functional before but the master actually knocked it out? What if the master was a doctor and damaged the eye/dentist and knocked out a tooth while performing a procedure that the slave requested?

In what way is it permissible to pierce the slave's ear and allow him to remain enslaved until the Jubilee year? The Gemara brings with on the verses of a slave whose ear gets pierced and limits the possibilities in which this can happen. Anyone who buys a Jewish slave is buying a master himself because he needs to be treated as one would treat oneself. The master also needs to provide food for his wife and children. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakhai explains that specifically the ear is pierced as a sign that the slave who wanted to remain a slave heard the words of the Torah at Mount Sinai that the sons of Yisrael are slaves to God and not slaves to slaves and transgressed this and sold himself into slavery. Rabbi Shimon b'Rebbi explains that the reason the ear is pierced near the door is to remember that God passed over the doorposts in Egypt showing that we would leave slavery behind and become slaves to God only and this slave is going against that. According to the Mishna, a Canaanite slave was bought with money, a document and . However, there are other ways as well and the Gemara explains what they are.
