1) CONDITIONS OF THE KESUVAH ARE AS THE KESUVAH
(a) Conditions of the Kesuvah are also as the Kesuvah
regarding:
1. Collecting from improvements made on land;
2. An oath (to collect it);
3. It may be collected after Shmitah;
4. A man who writes all his property to his sons (and
something to his wife, we say that she pardoned her
lien on his property);
5. It is only collected from lowest quality land;
6. If she lives in her father's house (and does not
mention the Kesuvah in 25 years, we say that she
pardoned it);
7. Kesuvas Bnin Dichrin.
2) DISPUTES BETWEEN PUMBADISA AND MASA MACHSIYA
(a) Sages of Pumbadisa say, Kesuvas Bnin Dichrin is not
collected from land which was sold - the Mishnah says
'they will inherit' (and heirs do not collect sold land);
1. Sages of Masa Machsiya say, it is collected - the
Mishnah says, 'they are owed' (and a creditor
collects from sold land).
2. The law is, it is not collected.
(b) Metaltelim designated to pay the Kesuvah - if they are
around, she collects them without an oath.
(c) Sages of Pumbadisa say, if they are not around, she
collects without an oath;
1. Sages of Masa Machsiya say, she must swear.
2. The law is, she does not swear.
(d) If land was designated to pay the Kesuvah, which was
delimited in all 4 directions, she collects them without
an oath.
(e) If only 1 border was specified, sages of Pumbadisa say,
she collects without an oath;
1. Sages of Masa Machsiya say, she must swear.
2. The law is, she does not swear.
(f) A man said to witnesses, 'write, sign and give a deed (of
land) to Ploni' - if they acquired on behalf of Ploni
(Chalifin), they fulfill his command without reconsulting
with him.
(g) If they did not acquire for Ploni - Sages of Pumbadisa
say, they need not reconsult;
1. Sages of Masa Machsiya say, they must.
2. The law is, they must.
3) DO WE FOLLOW ASSESSMENT?
(a) Rav and R. Nasan - one said, the law is as R. Elazar Ben
Azaryah; the other said it is not.
(b) Suggestion: R. Nasan is the one who says that the law is
as R. Elazar Ben Azaryah, since he goes after estimation.
1. (R. Nasan): The law is as R. Shimon Shezuri
regarding a person about to die (who commanded to
write a Get for his wife, but neglected to say to
give it); and regarding Trumas Ma'aser of doubtfully
tithed produce.
55b---------------------------------------55b
(c) Question: Do we really say that Rav does not go after
estimation?
1. (The house of Rav): A person on his deathbed wrote a
document to give a gift. The document says that an
acquisition was made - this gives the recipient both
advantages.
i. It is as the gift of a healthy person, that the
giver cannot retract;
ii. It is as the gift of a sick person, that the
giver can transfer a loan owed to him.
2. (Shmuel): I do not know how to judge it.
i. Perhaps he only intended that the gift should
take effect when the document is given, and
this cannot work after he dies.
