Bava Kama 18

BAVA KAMA 18 (25 Av)- dedicated by Mrs. G. Kornfeld for the first Yahrzeit of her mother, Mrs. Gisela Turkel (Golda bas Chaim Yitzchak Ozer), an exceptional woman with an iron will who loved and respected the study of Torah.

1) [line 4] TIRGEMA A'CHEVEL - explain it as it regards the damage of the rope itself, not the damage of the pitcher

2) [line 5] MA'US B'LISHAH - it was smeared with dough
3) [line 8] NITAZ MIMENU SHEVER - a shard flew out from it

4a) [line 12] KOCHO - an act not done with the body itself, rather through the power of the body, i.e. throwing a stone
b) [line 12] KO'ACH KOCHO - indirect force, where the original force causes a reaction which causes the act.

5) [line 16] DEKA'AZIL MINEI MINEI - the chicken went along with the rolling pitcher until it broke and did not propel it away

6) [line 26] CHARARAH - a flat cake baked on coals
7) [line 27] GADISH - a stack of grain

8) [line 38] TZAD TAMUS BI'MEKOMAH OMEDES
When a Shor damages three times and changes from a Tam to a Mu'ad, two Halachos change: 1. Whereas one pays Chatzi Nezek (half the value of the damage) for the damage done by a Tam, one pays Nezek Shalem (the entire value of the damage) for the damage done by a Mu'ad; 2. the liability for damage done by a Tam is limited to the worth of the Shor that does the damage (Shor ha'Mazik), while the damage done by a Mu'ad has unlimited liability. "Tzad Tamus bi'Mekomah Omedes" means that the unlimited liability only relates to the second half of the damages which is incurred by the fact that it is a Mu'ad. The first half is still limited to the value of the Shor.
