Talmud Study - Lesson 3

I know, al little unrelated, not utensils or animals. But how does this law apply to parents and children? The Parent i see as the owner of the child, if the parents damages the child, what happens? Wait Wait, I know, a whole separate lecture. Reply

Shalom. I love these classes! I live isolated from other Jews, in a small town in Colorado. I have been reading the Talmud alone. With these lessons I feel I have a partner. Thank you so very much, Toda raba, Rabbi Wolf.
You are amazing. Reply

Thank you for these Lessons. So clear, and easy to understand for a beginner such as myself. It has so blessed me. Reply

Unpaid guarding The unpaid guarding decides to pay the owner for a watch that he was holding. The item is stolen. He is not negligent. The unpaid guarding takes the oaths and decides to pay. The original owner excepts the $100. The thief is found. The new owner (the unpaid guarding) owns all responsibility now. The thief is found with the watch, but the new owner (the unpaid guarding now) decides not to take the additional $100. The extra amount. The new owner only wants the Watch not the extra $100.

The unpaid guarding decides the thief is poor and he don't want an additional hardship on the thief. He has rachmones for the thief. So the unpaid guarding (the new owner now) can dissolve the stated law in the mishnah. The person has final judge over the law, yes or no? (He is bigger than the law so to speak.)

So not only does all responsibility fall on the unpaid guarding when he pays the original owner but also he has final judgement beyond the mishnah's edicts if and when the thief is found. Reply

Where do I get the hand outs for the class can't seem to find it ? Reply

Thanks for your lessons that allow to study in any place and any time . A lot of blessings ! Reply

Is there in the tanak any situation related with guardians, thief, and owners? Reply

Reimbursing the Guardian I would argue that it is also unjust gain for the owner to keep the additional compensation when the thief is found. The guardian was honorable and performed a mitvah by paying for the item lost or stolen through negligence. Negligence is accidental, not something done out of malice. So, since he honored HaShem as well as the owner, it is only right to repay the guardian. Reply

Joyful! Many thanks for a great class. You are so easy to listen to. Reply

how to learn how to translate the gemara and the rashi Shalom Aleichem Rav

I am wondering how we could learn to translate late the gemara and rashi. As i know already the Mishnah is written in biblical hebrew which is fine but how could we learn the aramaic in the gemara and how could we learn to translate the rashi as well since that is a key part of talmud study. Reply

How do I get a copy of the notes? Reply

I have someone else's watch that I found in the side of a chair. I let owner know I had found . if they attempt to pick it up just one time that is not convenient to me and never attempt to get it again I should not be responsible to get it back to him it would be a great mitzvah to go out of my way but I should not feel guilty if the item gets lost after a while because I am not a storage unit! lol I do believe in Karma and it would not be nice but feel there is a time that the owner of the watch should step up to the plate! if someone takes it from me steels it I should not be at fault if owner is not doing their part! believe me that darn watch is on my mind I just don't have to go out of my way to get it to the owner!
