The Contractor's Oath - Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni
Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha Bava Metzia 112 Why does a contractor collect his wages via an oath? Why not believe the employer?

Derara d'Mamona - Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni
Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha Bava Metzia 100 The Mishnah says that when someone exchanges a pregnant cow for a donkey and there is doubt as to whether the cow gave birth before or after the transaction, the two parties split the value of the calf, and no one is required to take an oath. But in the beginning of our masekhet, we learned that when in doubt about the ownership of a garment that two people are holding, they divide it...

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

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 t...
