Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and Tosfot

An in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni

If I find a coat out on the sidewalk and try to return it to its rightful owner, do I have to keep it in my home until Eliyahu comes, even if it’s clear that its owner has given up on it? According to the Ramban in our sugya, the answer to that question is “yes.” Why would the Ramban think so? And why would our sugya refer to a good man, someone who is trying to return lost objects, as though he picked up the object illegally? What does Tosafot think? What do we conclude l’halakhah? This week, we will answer all of these questions except for the final one. Next week, bli neder, we will also discuss the halakhah. Join us to familiarize yourself with a fascinating classic discussion and debate among the Rishonim on our Daf.
