Description

We begin our study of the Mishna, Bava Matzia 30b regarding how to identify the object as being lost to its owner rather than having been deliberately placed there by the owner. The Mishna establishes that the finder must continue to return the animal time & time again and cannot blame the owner for negligence. Is the finder required to suffer a financial loss for the sake of saving the other from suffering a loss? Must the finder forfeit a day of wages & profit in order to return someone's lost object? When can the finder demand compensation for lost work from the owner? The Gemora addresses a group of mitzvot where the Torah uses a double language and derives significant conclusions from the extra word. Finally the status of קרקע in השבה.
