Today’s daf is sponsored by Lesley Nadel in loving memory of her sister Ruth Lewis – Rachel bat Hershel haLevi v’Tova, on her 10th yahrzeit. “An aishet chayil who left us too soon, before seeing her children’s weddings and meeting her granddaughter. She is missed every day. May her memory be for a blessing.”
Today’s daf is sponsored by Judy Shapiro in loving memory of her father, Albert Tychman’s 16th yahrzeit. “He was a tireless and passionate advocate and volunteer fundraiser for the State of Israel during his five decades with the Minneapolis Jewish Federation.”
Rava asked three questions regarding indirect damages. If an animal stepped on a vessel and as a result it rolled and then broke, do we rule based on the first action of the animal and make the owner responsible for full damages or do we say it was on account of the rolling that it broke and the owner will only pay half damages? Second question: For the half damage payment for an animal who kicks rocks that then damages a vessel, is it paid from the body of the animal that damaged (gufo) or does the owner have to pay the complete value (aliya) even above and beyond the value of the animal? Third question: Is there a concept of shor tam/shor muad in the law of tzrorot? The Gemara provides sources in an attempt to answer Rava’s questions.
