About this episode
Study Guide Bava Kamma 6 Today's daf is sponsored by Jeremy Booty in loving memory of Ari Chaim ben Yarden Yehoshua v' Leah Devorah. The Gemara assumes that when the Mishna mentions the common denominator between all four categories of damages, it must intend to include an additional case that we would not have been able to learn from any of the categories. Four different rabbis each suggest a unique case that could be the one that the Mishna was including. Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael disagree about what it means to pay from the best of your land - from the best of the one you damaged or the best of the one who caused the damage. Their opinions are explained in the Gemara as well as their source.
