Study Guide Bava Kamma 64 Today's daf is sponsored by Lisa Malik & Adi Wyner in honor of the birth of their first grandchild, Azriel David son of Ariel and Sofia. "Azi was named in memory of Sofia's great-grandmother, Alexina, and Ariel's grandfather, David Malik z"l. Our grandson's name is also a tribute to R.
