BAVA KAMA 64 - Two weeks of study material have been dedicated by Ms. Estanne Fawer to honor the Yahrzeit of her father, Rav Mordechai ben Eliezer Zvi (Rabbi Morton Weiner) Z'L, who passed away on 18 Teves 5760. May the merit of supporting and advancing Dafyomi study -- which was so important to him -- during the weeks of his Yahrzeit serve as an Iluy for his Neshamah.

1)

(a)Tana d'Bei Chizkiyah learns the obligation of a Ganav to pay double from a 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal', (as we just explained), from the Pasuk "mi'Shor Ad Chamor Ad Seh Chayim". What is the Pasuk talking about?

(b)Why can we not learn everything from ...

1. ... Shor and Geneivah?

2. ... Shor, Seh and Geneivah?

3. ... Shor, Seh, Chamor and Geneivah?

(c)Which other word is included in the Pasuk, which we initially think will allow us to learn even inanimate articles from "Geneivah"?

2)

(a)Tana d'Bei Chizkiyah said 'Yomar Shor u'Geneivah'. We query this, because they appear in the reverse order in the Pasuk. What difference will the order make?

(b)Why can we not explain that the Tana ...

1. ... is merely explaining what we would say, if the Torah had written 'Shor u'Geneivah'?

2. ... really means to say "Geneivah v'Shor" (as indeed, the Torah writes)?

(c)So how does Rava explain the Beraisa? If the Tana is not talking about a 'Klal u'Frat', then what is he talking about?

(d)How can we Darshen a 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal' when the first Klal ("ha'Geneivah", implying everything), clashes with the second one (Chayim", which implies only living creatures)?

3)

(a)What problem does the Tana himself have with the Pasuk in view of this 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal'?

(b)How does Rava relearn the Beraisa, in order to accommodate "Im Himatzei Simatzei"?

(c)What do we then learn from ...

1. ... "Chayim"?

2. ... "Geneivah"?

(d)At the end of the day, seeing as we could apparently learn everything from the initial 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal, why do we need the Ribuy of "Im Himatzei Simatzei ... "?

64b----------------------------------------64b

4)

(a)Why does ...

1. ... the last 'Klal always come to include?

2. ... the first 'Klal' always come to exclude?

(b)Consequently, if not for "Himatzei Simatzei", what would ...

1. ... "Chayim" come to include?

2. ... "Geneivah" come to exclude?

(c)What problem does the fact that "Himatzei" and "Simatzei" constitute the two Kelalim, pose?

(d)How does Ravina resolve this problem?

5)

(a)So we try to Darshen each Prat together with "Im Himatzei Simatzei", as we just concluded. What do we then learn from "Chayim"?

(b)Assuming that, from "Shor", we learn 'Davar ha'Metaltel v'Gufo Mamon', what will we learn from "Chamor"?

(c)What problem does "Seh" now pose?

(d)So citing Tana d'Bei Rebbi Yishmael in connection with Kosher fish in the Pasuk in Shemini, we change the format of the above Derashah. Based on the fact that the two Kelalim "ba'Mayim" "ba'Mayim" both precede the Peratim "ba'Yamim u'va'Nechalim", what does Tana d'Bei Rebbi Yishmael do with the 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal'?

6)

(a)From the three Miy'utim "Shor", "Chamor" and "Seh", we now preclude Avadim, Karka and Shtaros, whereas "Geneivah" and "Chayim" come to teach us Rav's Din. What is Rav's Din?

(b)Why did we not cite the three previous Derashos as long as we Darshened a 'Klal u'Frat u'Chlal'?

7)

(a)According to the Tana who learns that one Pasuk refers to a Ganav and the other, to a To'en Ta'anas Ganav, "Im Himatzei Simatzei" comes to teach us Rava bar Ahila'i's interpretation of Rav, who said "Modeh bi'Kenas v'Achar Kach Ba'u Edim, Patur. How did he learn Rav's Din from "Im Himatzei Timatzei"?

(b)The Tana who learns both Pesukim by To'en Ta'anas Ganav, learns 'Modeh bi'Kenas Patur' from "Asher Yarshi'un Elohim Yeshalem Shenayim ... ". According to the other Tana, why do we need both Pesukim?

(c)What is the basis of their Machlokes? In which point does the Tana who learns both Pesukim by To'en Ta'anas Ganav argue?

8)

(a)The Tana who learns that one Pasuk refers to a Ganav and the other, to a To'en Ta'anas Ganav has already exempted Karka, Avadim and Shtaros from "Al Kol Devar Pesha, Al Shor, Al Chamor ... " (as we explained earlier). The Torah then see fit to write "Shor", Chamor" and "Seh" in the Pasuk "Im Himatzei Simatzei b'Yado ha'Geneivah" because of a principle stated by Tana d'bei Rebbi Yishmael. Which principle?

(b)What Chidush does this Pasuk then contain that justifies repeating "Shor", Chamor" and "Seh"?

(c)According to the Tana who learns both Pesukim by To'en Ta'anas Ganav, how do we know that a Ganav pays double even without a Shevu'ah? Why do we not learn from To'en Ta'anas Ganav that he is only Chayav after having made a Shevu'ah?

9)

(a)The Torah writes "Im Himatzei Simatzei b'Yado ha'Geneivah", to teach us that if the Ganav actually stole the animal with his hands, he is obligated to pay double. What does the Beraisa learn from the double Lashon ("Im Himatzei Simatzei" [see Tosfos DH 'Ein li'])?

(b)Seeing as we need "Im Himatzei Simatzei" for the current Derashah, how can the Tana'im in the other Beraisos learn other Derashos from the same words (either the two Ribuyim or 'Modeh bi'Kenas va'Achar-Kach Ba'u Edim Patur')?
