BAVA METZIA 98 (16 Adar) - dedicated by Mr. Avi Berger of Queens, N.Y. in
memory of his father, Reb Pinchas ben Reb Avraham Yitzchak, on the day of
his Yahrzeit.

1)
(a) According to Rebbe Yochanan and Rav Nachman, we just established our
Mishnah by Eisek Shevu'ah, and we conclude that the Reisha (when he borrowed
the cow for part of one day or for a full day, and hired it for the rest of
the day or for the subsequent day) speaks when there were two cows.
What
is the case?
(b) And what is the case in the Seifa (when he borrowed one cow and hired a
second one)?
(c) Why in all the cases, is it necessary to establish that even the cow
that the Sho'el admits he borrowed died? What would be the Din if it was
still alive?
2)
(a) According to Rami bar Chama, we are forced to establish the Reisha when
there were three cows, and the Seifa when there were four.
Why is that?
(b) What constitutes denial?
(c) Why does Rami bar Chama learn this way? How does he interpret the Pasuk
in Mishpatim "Ki Hu Zeh" (the source of 'Modeh be'Miktzas ha'Ta'anah
Yishava')?

3)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah 'Zeh Omer She'ulah, ve'Zeh Omer Sechurah,
Yishava ha'Socher she'Sechurah Meisah'.
What problem do we have with this?
(b) Why should it be a problem though? Did we not just establish the Mishnah
when there is an extra cow to which the Shomer admitted?
(c) We resolve the problem by establishing the Mishnah when there is a
Gilgul Shevu'ah.
Which Gilgul Shevu'ah?
(d) Why does he swear? Did Rami bar Chama not just teach us that unless
there is an extra cow to which the Shomer admits, he does not need to swear?
4)
(a) We also learned 'Zeh Omer Eini Yode'a, ve'Zeh Omer Eini Yode'a,
Cholkin'. The author of this Mishnah is Sumchus.
What does Sumchus say?
(b) What do the Rabbanan of Sumchus hold?
5)
(a) Rebbi Aba bar Mamal asks what the Din will be if a Shomer borrowed a cow
be'Ba'alim and then, before the initial period had transpired, he hired it
she'Lo be'Ba'alim. Since the Sechirus is a new contract, we might say that
it has no connection with the She'eilah, and is therefore considered she'Lo
be'Ba'alim.
How can we say that, considering that the Shomer did not make
a new Kinyan?
(b) What is the other side of the She'eilah? What do we mean by 'Meishach
Shaichi'?
6)
(a) On the basis of the second side of the previous She'eilah, what second
She'eilah are we prompted to ask?
(b) On the basis of the first side of the previous She'eilah, what third
She'eilah are we prompted to ask?
(c) And what is the final She'eilah?
7)
(a) What does our Mishnah say about Reuven who asks to borrow a cow from
Shimon, if the latter then sends it to him through a son, an Eved, or a
Sheli'ach belonging to either of them, and the cow dies on the way?
(b) If however, Shimon sent the cow through any of the above Sheluchim,
following Reuven's request, then he will be liable.
In which other case
does the Tana obligate him to pay?
(c) What does the Tana mean when he adds 've'Chein be'Sha'ah she'Machzirah'?
