BAVA KAMA 58 (18 Teves) - 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.

THE FIELD THAT WE ESTIMATE WITH (Yerushalmi Perek 6 Halachah 2 Daf 27b)

úðé àéï ùîéï áéú ëåø îôðé ùäåà ôåâí åìà áéú ÷á îôðé ùîùáéç àìà ùîéï áéú ñàä áàåúä ùãä ëîä äéúä éôä åëîä äéà éôä.

(a)

(Beraisa): We do not estimate the value of a Beis Kor (the area in which one sows 30 Sa'im of seeds, i.e. 75,000 square Amos), for this detracts. We do not estimate the value of a Beis Kav (about 417 square Amos), for this detracts. Rather, we estimate the value of a Beis Se'ah (2500 square Amos) in that field, what it was worth, and how much it is worth [after the animal ate].

HOW WE ESTIMATE THE VALUE OF PEROS EATEN (Yerushalmi Perek 6 Halachah 2 Daf 27b)

à''ø éåãä [ãó ëç òîåã à] àéîúé áæîï ùàëìä ééçåøé úàðéí å÷éøèîä ìåìáé âôðéí àáì àí àëìä áåñø àå ôâéï ùîéï ìå ôéøåú âîåøéï.

(a)

(R. Yehudah): When is this? It is when it ate fig branches (SEDEI YEHOSHUA) or broke vine sprigs, but if it ate unripe grapes or unripe figs, it pays for finished fruits.

àîø øáé éåãï îùåí ø' ò÷éáà àëìä ôéøåú âîåøéï îùì' ôéøåú âîåøéï (ðèéòåú ùîéï ìå ðèéòåú ðèéòåú) [ö''ì àëìä ôéøåú ðèéòåú ùîéï ìäï ðèéòåú òöîï - ò''ô úåñôúà å:ëà] ùîéï ìäï áéú ñàä

(b)

(R. Yehudah citing R. Akiva): If it ate finished fruits, it pays for finished fruits. If it ate fruits of saplings, we estimate their value. If it ate the saplings themselves, we estimate for it a Beis Se'ah;

øáé ùîòåï áï éäåãä àåîø îùåí ø' ò÷éáä úáåàä (ùìà äáéàä) [ö''ì ùäáéàä -ò''ô úåñôúà å:ëà] ùìéù ðéãåðú ëðèéòåú

(c)

(R. Shimon ben Yehudah citing R. Akiva): If it ate grain that grew a third, it is considered like saplings.

(d)

(D'Vei R. Yanai): We estimate a Tarkav (a half-Se'ah) in 60 Tarkavim;

ø''é áé ø' çðéðä àåîø ùîéï ÷ìç áùùéí ÷ìçééí.

(e)

(R. Yosi bei R. Chanina): We estimate a Kelach (stalk or head, e.g. of cabbage) in 60 Kelachim.

(f)

A man stole an unripe date. The case came in front of Shmuel. He said, go estimate it on the tree (how much the tree decreased in value due to this).

à''ø éåñé áé ø' áåï ëáùä ãàäéðé äåä:

(g)

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun): It was a cluster of ripe dates. (Unripe dates would be estimated based on the decreased value of the land.)
