BAVA KAMA 62 - 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.

A LOAD THAT CAUGHT FIRE IN RESHUS HA'RABIM (Yerushalmi Perek 6 Halachah 8 Daf 30a)

מתני' גץ שיצא מתחת הפטיש ויצא והזיק חייב

(a)

(Mishnah): If a spark flew out from a man's hammer and it damaged, he is liable.

גמל שהוא טעון פשתן ועובר בר''ה נכנסה פשתנו לתוך החנות ודלקה בנרו של חנוני והדליק את הבירה בעל הגמל חייב

(b)

If Reuven's camel, laden with flax, was walking in a Reshus ha'Rabim, and the flax entered Shimon's store, caught fire from Shimon's lamp, and burned the building, Reuven is liable;

הניח החנווני את נירו מבחוץ החנווני חייב

1.

If Shimon left his lamp outside, he is liable.

רבי יהודה אומר בנר חנוכה פטור:

2.

R. Yehudah says, if it was Ner Chanukah, he is exempt.

גמ' תני רבי יודן בנר חנוכה פטור מפני שהוא רשות

(c)

(Gemara - Beraisa - R. Yehudah): If it was Ner Chanukah, he is exempt, for he had permission;

וחכמים אומרין בין כך ובין כך חייב.

(d)

Chachamim say, in either case he is liable.

כגון אילו שהן עושין סוכות בפיתחי חניותיהם בחג מפני שהוא רשות ובא אחר והוזק בהן חייב:

(e)

People like these who make Sukos in the openings of their stores during Sukos, because it is permitted, if one came and was damaged through them, he is liable. (CHASAM SOFER, from the RASHBA - Chachamim said so to R. Yehudah, and that the same applies to Ner Chanukah. R. Yehudah distinguishes, for Sukah need not be in Reshus ha'Rabim, but one must put Ner Chanukah at the opening of his Chatzer.)
