About this episode
Today's daf is sponsored by Marcia Baum in loving memory of her father, Sam Baum, on his 21st yahrzeit. "Dad was a larger-than-life individual whose acts of chesed and tzedaka are remembered to this day. He was a proud Jew, lover of Israel, and a proud American. He is sorely missed by all who knew him." For a chazaka of presumptive status to be effective, the possessor must bring a claim of how the land came into their possession. What would/would not be considered an effective claim? Why doesn't the court advise the possessor on a possible claim the possessor could make? In two stories, rabbis claimed they had a chazaka but were ruled against as the chazaka was not created properly. In a third story relating to chazaka , there is a debate among the rabbis about whether or not this was effective. If three different people owned the land for the three years of chazaka , each claimed to have purchased it from the previous owner, can the third one claim to have a chazaka on the land after the third year?
