Daf Yomi Bava Metzia Daf 52 by R’ Eli Stefansky

[Music] I have an invisible TI Chicago live from Chicago from kov for coming out shabas rebell tomorrow marks my Oney year mdy aniversary but I'm happy to say that since it started one year ago with mdy believe I haven't missed the D I cannot say that it has changed my life but I can say definitely it has changed I but I can definitely say it has changed my da I've been doing the D for over 40 years now first the Ellie title bals D and then with a sh iPad which I used to have since I joined the Y ever my learning is more energized I never will hardly ever fall asleep I look forward to the share share many of your stories and jokes with my family most importantly understand many of the sug is better than ever did before for all that and more I'm deeply grateful and wish you and your team much [Music] confus tal Dr mayor wiler now I don't know if the sound will play oh you not even pluged in hold on we got to plug this in time out we are back okay uh the person that was setting up every day he didn't show up today okay okay fine so K this individual is saying that he every shab as he does the and ask him who he says Eli okay um going back to uh the sponsors sponsor by Anonymous for the save and Speedy return of all the hostages sorry and I just the words were backwards sometimes that happens come from all my endeavors the famous pinkos was in a car accident which took his life and his wife's life and his daughter's life and his young daughter she was also in the car and severely injured and they brought her here to Chicago and a Big sadic R ler from Lakewood took care of her for a very very long time going through therapies and surgeries somebody gave them a house they got them a car the whole Community here in Chicago uh really came for forward and but this ler I forgot his first name he was a good friend of mine is a good friend of mine he just dropped everything like what uprooted his entire family to take care of this girl famous I quot pad and he's given a tremendous amount of he's a very very big so today is his yard side for telling us theous of for an easy child birth for his daughter and a healthy baby so today is I have a question for let's say you're going to buy an EST on Friday what's the bigger M to buy an estri or to buy your wife a gift or let's say this year not this year but let's say a PES to make P mat yeah this year on Monday you go ahead and you do you want to be Mah after what's more important to do mat after or to buy your wife a gift the answer is why what kind of Mitzvah is it to buy your wife a gift it's it's to buy your wife a gift and it's to shake a little of an EST on the second day so it's a greater Mitzvah to buy your wife a give than to buy an EST on that kind of suus on suus that falls out first day on on a Shas to make mat after say no it's brought down it's a beautiful but it's not a so maybe together together collectively us M the s for me it's difficult usually but maybe I'll go together with together as a as a group as a community we're going to this year we're going to get our wife's gifts for PES it doesn't have to be a $20,000 gift it could be a gift a gift whatever a gift means to to her something that will make her happy you should be your wife it has to do a little bit with the D today says the mishna and we are going to go back all right here we are so in the beginning of the mishna we're talking about AA which means to overcharge or undercharge as a buyer you paid less than 16% as a seller you you charge more than 16% go both directions that's if you're purchasing something you're buying a car you're buying a suit what about money currency if you use you know the currency in those days that the actual currency had value and it lost some of its value as it gets rubb out whatever it is it loses percentages how much so two out of three sheet us is that it's more severe we don't give you a six it's a 12th it's a 24th he says a six that money is equal to other objects not to get all confused and traumatized by S we're not going to go into that we're just going to go into percentages it's very very simple com we have a how much must be missing from it is going to say that means there is a but okay there is not going to be a it's four coins called an in other words every seller here we'll just show this real quickly every seller has two shekel you call it2 half dollars a shekel has two dinner a dinner has six small and a m has two p and each P has two iser so basically you're missing four small tiny coins and one giant coin on top which is let's just see this we don't need this this is all in Hebrew oh 124th okay the sell is the the the largest coin in this picture and you're talking about four is which is 124 of the coin so it's very severe even it's if it's missing a 124 it's also to use that coin it's more like one 12th half of what says half of says in other words six that's what we're familiar with when it comes to buying a car you can't take somebody for a ride not L you can't rip them off six so too when you pass a coin you can't pass a coin that's worth less than a sixth of a real seller may says we got to be really really careful when it comes to coins it's 124 if it's worth less 124 is less than its actual value do not pass it off how much time do you have to give back this coin you realize hey there a tiny chunk missing from it to 124th according to mayor6 when you live in a city you have until you have time to show it to the money changer if you live in a isolated Place very quiet place until what's ER shabas says Rashi that's when people buy their meal for shabas according to the you have to purchase you should buy your food for shabas on shabas a mitah shabas according to the on on Thursday but there's the concept of buying food for shabas on a shabas so when you're you live in a little village you don't have money changers so until you get to a place to to buy food oh then you realize hey they're not accepting your your your sell the guy looks at he says no no no it's missing some get rid of this oh so you have a few days we all know that what you spend on shavas for shabas comes back to you if you mean it seriously and you say you have it in mind you say I'm going to buy this nice wine I'm buying this cake it's Alles it doesn't cost you at the end of the day you get it back so I want to show you some something very very interesting oh I don't think I could play this sound but we'll show it I'll play it and then I'll I'll tell you what he said this is Michael and alino they both won the $10,000 raffle that we did for the mdy charity campaign anybody donated above $100 was entered here he got $101 you can see his donation by leit that's the famous from B Park our first basically Zoom guy ever of R laborist and he convinced Michael and what's beautiful is that Michael does the D every day does d with us every day this is a whole video of him uh talking to Mark ashkanazi andine they congratul called him off on Zoom congratulated him and he said that he takes his bike from Brooklyn to Williamsburg every day and on the way he watches the death and he's like a therapist of some sort a physical therapist something like that that in that field and he works together with Ellie Dyan that we all know and Leo speech therapy physical therapy all my then he's asked here so what do your plans this is Mark ah just like any Jew the money spent before you get it so that's the guy that won the nonetheless it's a nice yff present oh for sure believe it or not um I usually stay home for for PES and this year my wife convinced me to to go away to to a program what he's saying is that his wife told him let's go away for PES to Hotel program he said it's too expensive so she told him what you spend for PES has gives you back Mark said what are you going to do with the money he said I'm going to do what every Jew does I spent it already he says what do you mean he said my wife said let's go to PES of program so we went on P here it is I just this I got the money to pay for the PES of program it's already spent so but she used that La of when you spend for for y you get back and here pay me back boom it happened all right so congratulations Michael and no I'm just very happy that whoever wins it but I'm happy that it was somebody from MD that does every day not not a lot of people I have a lot of people that are not from MD donated obviously but it's beautiful that he won says the G oh where we if he's familiar with this coin metal you passed a coin that's no good you recognize it 12 months later take it back ah we just said he has up until shabas maximum or just an hour or two until he could go show it to money changer the is going to discuss that basically we're talking about he's acting like a you could take it back from him for a year and he can't even be upset at him have a little bit of a he could be slightly means he has some sort of against and he could use this money as we discussed many times in the last few days actually sh is years 1 three one two four five you give me sheny 10% to yourself but if you don't want to carry the fruit up to you change it exchange it into the money you put the of the fruit into the money and then you carry the money up so you allow to take you allow to be from the fruit into the money plus add a fif even though this money is missing person that doesn't accept this money is a bad guy has bad MOS comes from a bad a bad um area whatever you want to call it it's not a good thing not to accept it's a little missing so let's go V take it and go go on move on as says in how much is missing and the will be if you look at our miss it says seems like a contradiction again in our mission it says that if it's a 124th or 12th or 6th there's no and the says if it's a 12 six whatever the is it is which one is it answers that that year the 126 24th is know but we're going from top to bottom or bottom to top in other words if it's missing a little bit that's not I enough if it's missing even more it's not I enough if oh up until a six a six is no good arish is telling us all the things that are good if it's missing less than less than this less less oh until you get to hear the K is just the way of talking and the point is one that6 is according toim 112 is 124 is according to it started off what's bad and it kept on going down until good this is a bomb question why is it when it comes to suit everybody seems like to everybody that the the amount of is it's and all when it comes to [Music] coins in fact the that says a six when it comes to clothing is wouldn't agree to that no says is different because people want clothing very badly more than anything else people say you should overpay for your back in other words for clothing clothes off your back so back means clothing you should be on par for food in other words for your stomach for food don't overpay for food food should be market value clothing is so important you should pay you should overpay so when I come when it comes to Talis everybody agrees you go up to a six it comes to other stuff like money it's a 124 or 112 when it comes to a coin since it doesn't circulate so well people are not just want to tell you a quick story that has to do with interesting story there was a person whose father died and left him an apartment in so the son comes to and the neighbors already you know thinking about this apartment so one neighbor came up with a great idea he goes to the appraiser and he says listen pretty soon I'm going to send you a client that's going to want you to appraise his apartment now you and I know this apartment is worth half a million dollars you're going to tell him it's only worth $400,000 I'll give you $20,000 on the table I want you to lie this guy's from America has no clue you're he's going to take your word for it it's worth 400 400 like this I get an apartment for 400 you get 20,000 great so that's what this guy did obviously had to find the right appraiser that's that that's willing to to play this game okay so the appraiser speaks to the guy he says your house your apartment is only worth $400,000 the guy says okay great he sells the apartment for 400,000 the appraiser comes back to the guy that bought the apartment says okay where's my 20 you're probing 20,000 he said nah you lied you didn't do your job you're a liar you're you're you're a fake appraiser I'm going to pay you $20,000 for a fake appraisal a GH of is a GH of you know so he steals from everybody now the appraiser felt really bad look he he lied to this guy plus he got messed over at his $20,000 she calls up the the the the son that sold the apartment he says listen I got to tell you I want to tell you about the I did I have a lot of k i praised your house falsey I hope you don't report me and you know I'm telling you this on condition that you don't uh try to revoke my license you should know that your house your apartment is really worth 500 this guy convinced me to do it now I feel bad what's the so the is and unfortunately there not a this this kind of stuff happens the is that's a no that it's well and know kind of thing but over here there was a real she in terms of the evaluation the guy gets all his money back end of the story yeah we're holding 15 lines from the top how much is missing from a to be considered that's our which equals one per every dinner because it's for dinner in a s not important the point is 112 if it's worth more than than this missing amount of yes if it's if it's worth more than the missing amount of then you use it you sell it at whatever it's worth how much could it go down and could still use it and circulate it if you want to see just a cool you did a trump coin here you guys see it no yeah made a hole in that one okay now I just got to show you real quickly here we go you see a sell has two sh so if I tell you that you're allowed to keep a sell until it diminishes by a shekel that means until half of it is missing this is not so good this it's not a bill it's a coin but okay so you have a coin it keeps on getting rubbed down rubbed down it's missing half its weight then you can't use it anymore the dinner now take a look at a dinner every shek has two din in other words every s has four dinner that's all we need to know now until a quarter of would seem like what's a quarter quarter of what if I'm looking at this dinner which is a quarter of a s I could only use it until it has a quarter of quarter of what quarter of a dinner was going to say later no it means a quarter of a of a of a shek and we're going to address these four words later if there's less than you can use it say you cannot pass this coin off to a seller not a murderer and not to a is a guy that captures people or something he a bad guy because they use these coins and the lie to other people to pass them off as good coins Sao do something like hold on oh you do this take the coin you poke a hole right down the middle and you give it to your son to wear as a necklace here's a Yami boy wearing it as a necklace it seems like the that Yami fellow is not very happy about it it's a bum wearing a necklace okay what do you do you have to make a hole in it don't don't use it anymore we just learned that when you have a it could go down to half the amount which is when it comes to dinner all of a sudden a quarter of a dinner that's not fair one coin you go to a half and one coin you go to a quarter that's not fair what we're talking about is a quarter of a a quarter of a din so let's go back here I'm not going to go back all the way it's enough to have the Hebrew in a there two dinner two she in a she in one she there two dinner so I'm telling you if the dinner went down how much to a quarter of a shekele now the question is why am I talking about a shekele I'm talking about a dinner how much does a dinner go down to to half of a dinner whatever you want to say why are you telling me in terms of a she yeah let's talk about in English how much could a nickel go down in value to half of a quarter what do you mean half of a quarter I'm talking about a nickel now why you jumping to a quarter why you telling me values in orders when I'm talking about a nickel how much could a dinner go down in value to whatever it is in in a dinner half of a dinner don't tell me the value in a that's theor question when it says a quarter it's talking about a quarter of I'll tell you look it doesn't say r r would mean a quarter of the coin that you're talking about a quarter of the dinner but it says a quarter a quarter meaning a quarter of something else which would be a quarter of a if you're talking about a dinner why you talking about you should know that when you have a she and it gets rubbed down to the point that it's worth the the amount of a dinner you could pass it off as a dinner even though it came from a she this actually gives proof to if you have a dinner that actually originated from a she so there's no concern that maybe somebody's GNA pass it off as a shek or what he's going to do you could use you could use it as a dinner but if it comes all the way from the very expensive that you cannot use as a dinner a so we learned these four words I told you before we're going to address these four words m is if it's less than if you take these coins and it's it went down in value and plus it went down another iser which is the tiny little coin here if you look at this chart over here iser is all the way on the bottom it's very very small compared to the C there's actually 48 pons in a Cella so times two is 96 right should be 96 iser in a cell it's 48 P 96 is so it's tiny it's like a penny call sell a dollar so iser is a penny M says we're talking about if we're talking about larger coins that uh like we're talking about discussing a minute ago they have a sell that went down to the value of a so we already said it dropped 50% so what are you telling me Oh and if it went another 1% then it's no good we already said that it went down 50% it's no good yeah if it went down 50% no good 49% okay so what are you telling me that if it went down 49% or or it went down 50% which is possible and it went down another 1% another is it's possible it's already possible by being 50% so that can't be theat so what talking about we're going back to the beginning of the mishna when we're talking about not the beginning of mish our Mish about something else that in arabish just says that that the of a coin is 124 the 112 or6 you should know it goes below that then you cannot use it have to say went down if it went down a million also mayor says is we're talking about a that's exactly what we're talking about we're talking about that's that's the mishna that if it went down what does Mayor say so one that one answer per dinner that makes it and that's what we're talking about over here it's not less than that it's not less than the she the Mish it is the she of the it's not awes yeah you have a coin can no longer use so you decided oh you know what this coin weighs 10 GRS let me use it in my store as a weight once you decide to use it as a weight what happens it becomes a CLE and if it becomes a CLE it's becomes how much could it go down in value and you allow to keep it in the world half 50% got to take it and cut it in half famous mice I like to say over the story that the B took the Milkman to D because he said he just realized that every time the Milkman gives him cheese or butter he pays for a full pound and it's always less than a pound so he takes him to the guy's cheating him every day turns out in the how does the Milkman weigh he doesn't have weights he uses a loaf of bread that weighs exactly a pound that's what he uses so it turns out that the baker is the G not him he sues the the Milkman and then they realize you're suing yourself you're the G first look in the mirror before you tell your friend about stuff because it's going to come back to bite you less less than this you got to ch whether it's a little bit more a little bit less by the way yeser over here you got to I got to emphasize again yeser AL is a little confusing in terms of the language because yeser you think means more loss it actually means less loss yes it means if it's worth more it's it's not know yet then you could keep it around if it's if it's lower in other words it has more of a loss so it's it's already or not you got to chop it in half you sell it as it's worth that it it became worth less than but over here it says you don't have to cut it you could sell it off before you were saying that if it's l you have to cut it it didn't get to so what do you do you sell it for what it's worth so oh before I forget better do this kidovations in my [Music] uncle for the and by the Brothers thef says that if when are you allow to keep it it went from so she is half right 50% of of a my love the how did it go from a S to a how does a coin go from weighing a pound whatever it weighed to half a pound obviously one day they used it it got rubbed out a little bit so it weighed 99% of a pound the next day 98% they got the 50% so but how it get the 50% you said that if it's a little bit above don't you know you have to you have to destroy it it's possible that it went from 100 to 50% in one shot it fell into a fire or something boom okay so you don't have a r you should take it and use it as a necklace so we have a should not use this as a weight he has a whole pile of like of um scrap metal the leg finish should put in that do not make a hole in it we just said you should you should rub it down completely throw it into a grinder or melted chop it in half famous Concept in shot you throw it into the Dead Sea in other words you'll never use it again don't don't use it as a necklace if you make the hole directly in the center we're not concerned for people that okay let's start the opposite if you make the hole somewhere close to the the end of the the the coin so you can have a RI that comes and just cuts it slightly and does a little trick here and there rubs it down and then all a he passes it off as a real Co if the hole is smack in the center there's nothing you can do about it so what we're saying is don't make it as a necklace where the hole is towards the theuh end of the coin should be in the center of the coin a city you have until you show it to the changer and in the village until says everybody knows when it comes to t how much time do you have very very little in order to show it to Pro or to your relative let's call that an hour all of a sudden when it comes to a coin you have either to show it to change but have why the T they have very little time is talking about in the city in the village you have more time when it comes to everybody knows the value ofal so I don't give you very much time you need to be a professional money changer to really understand coins they look with the magnifying glass the whole thing so therefore in a city where they have a lot of money changers so the limit is until it takes you to get to the money change your big farm like you need to go to professional you don't have a professional in the village wait until Friday that's when people go to the marketplace to buy stuff for sudas and that's why you get more time but Talis everybody knows how much a bot is worth if you you gave a coin to somebody the guy comes back to you A year later you should take it from him if you're the coin you should take it says where is this if it's in a city arm you have one hour what do you mean 12 months you have an hour if you're in v why do I need to take the coin back after 12 months when the the mishna says I have maximum seven days six days whatever it is not 12 months we're talking about he's going you passed off a coin to somebody comes to you 12 months later 11 months later he says hey give me back my money and you're a type of guy that you do okay so you get 12 months the M says a few days an hour depends if you're in a city in a village now just want to point out that we just learned recently said about he said you're and your words I did a search and says this three times in that's what I felt three times and whatever I'm just saying it's possible that himself was and he's saying this is pointing it out it's not really said about other people that they said from from getting it says in the right meaning the next word you're the guy comes to you and says hey you gave me a back coin a year ago okay and give it back to him give him take the from him give him another coin and then it says you shouldn't be upset you only have nothing shouldn't be upset you could be the only thing you could do against him is be a little bit upset at him it makes no sense you're the you're doing a big you're taking a coin that you don't really have to take and now you're going to be upset at him so don't take it yeah look at rash beautiful rashash says the is gonna take the coin give him a new coin and he's gonna be upset who's forcing him to take it back it's better don't take it back take it back and then you're G to go around telling everybody what a jerk this guy is they can't even back after a year so don't take it back you want to be Costco and take back ratten fruit after six months so take it and be quiet don't take it and then make his name dirty his name in the in the street it's beautiful rash you know don't be don't do and then be upset about it you want to be a be don't be upset about it no just I think it's a good as I know that especially now with PES let's say I'm just saying on myself from my life and different experiences that I had and I heard from others without going into details not to be anybody or talk but everybody understands what I'm saying sometimes you accept upon yourself a you have a and even a that you receive from your parents but if you know that it's a that's detrimental to your children it hurts your children then you have to think 20 times before you do that shouldn't be that you you get upset about it or that your children get upset about this is what rash is saying don't do if you're not holding yet not madga of of being such a takeing back a coin after year so don't do it if you're not a dra of whatever your is we don't need anything and nothing and we're going to drink water and and Chicken Soup for for the entire PES that's my okay great maybe you have to do maybe you have to go to and be M NE because your children are going to hate Judaism because of you because of silly that you decide to take upon yourself think about it seriously you don't know what turns off a kid from so PES should be a time that everybody's excited and they want to be part of it and they love the say so don't don't put on even if it comes from a different generation let's say I'm going that far to say ask your local Rabbi maybe you should break that Min with it's not the end of the world it's not their it's a minute but if you do you might see that your kids enjoy y more and they enjoy more says the gar I'm just reading rash I'm not doing anything else I'm not I'm not inventing [Music] anything oh so what which one so we only have two choices time out we have the guy that's doing the favor he shouldn't get upset doesn't make sense that he's getting upset after you did the favor so what it's the guy that gave the coin how could he be upset he's giving it he's he's he's getting he's getting all his money back why would he be upset that can't be first of all the accepts the coin but somebody else if you're dealing with he takes a coin after 11 months from you great but if you went to a regular person who's not a and says I'm sorry the Miss says you have up to a week and this is 11 months later I don't want to take it so all you could do is be upset you can't force him in court it's talking about not talking about another person you could use this coin for my sheny and you don't have to be concerned why because not using this coin that's missing a little bit people that don't want to accept it they're bad guys they have bad MOS this a guy who's stubborn who doesn't want to take a coin yeah store happened to me now in I had a 200 Che bill was ripped you know had like a RI down the middle it was connected so RI teer teer I go to this store I no I'm sorry I went to a few stores and I said oh wow I have to go to the bank now so I told my he says give it to me right now he gave me another 200 says and he went to his store he gave it to the mall whatever but there are people that are stubborn they look at it no no I don't want this there are people that don't care I'm not saying that the guys that didn't take my bill have this Lo over here each in their own I can understand why if youing about money he's a bad Soul that's only if it circulates now these people didn't want to take it they figured it's not going to circulate they don't want to take a bill they're going to have problems passing it off if you have a that's missing a little tiny bit part I'm assuming look those days the coins we learned that they they get moldy they're softer so that you know as you use it it starts losing its value you change it for its value so now we're we actually have we started I I got this right before I came here so it's not complete it's a 3D animation of me Shady so this are the parts that we have right now it's going to get a little better as we go on here a guy has fruit so he takes 10% of the fruit oh wow I see some it looks empty Tak % of fruit and now he doesn't want to carry the fruit so he H I don't have the rest he did send me the rest but we got to put it together so he he exchanges the fruit for money okay so it says over here let's say you have a coin was worth $100 this cor now today's worth 98 you allow to take $100 worth of fruit and put it on this coin that's only worth 98 does that sound fair to you should be the opposite if you are going to exchange it for other money part you can only get 98 but if you're using it to redeem your fruit and to be the of the fruit into the money you could treat it as if it's a whole coin of 100 my it's actually one statement that what even though when you come to exchange it you can only exchange it for whatever it's worth now you're putting down you're saying that the coin doesn't have to have the full value holds okay so it goes like this we have a new today beautiful I don't know if people know about this is that if you have a fruit let's say you're looking at a tiny little fruit that's worth less than a PR you cannot redeem it on a coin that's how it works you can't why because it doesn't have a fruit is worth you can't you can't even take a dollar bill that's more than a fruit and say okay this tiny gra should go into this dollar bill doesn't work but if this bill this doll has a bunch of fruit already that you used in this bill you're ready to use this dollar bill for your other piles of fruit and now you have one grape so now you can take the grape and put it on this dollar have a grap doesn't have a he says this grape and the 25% I must add to it in order to do in order to transfer the should go onto the dollar bill that I used yesterday so says because in this dollar bill it has a little bit of wiggle room in there that there's going to be a pro is worth for your grade how much is the great worth half okay there's about half a br left in the I maybe you used that up already on on your other piles of fruit no no no people are very careful when it comes to M training not to go all the way to the end they always leave a little wiggle room so now today that you have a gra don't worry about it you can transfer the Dua into the dollar bill because there's a little bit room left in the dollar bill because you never went up to the you didn't use the entire dollar you didn't use 100 cents of it all you use is 97 probably why because that's how people treat it a second ago he told me that when it comes to myeni I could use ruined money money that's not even worth a 100 I could pretend it's worth 100 even though it's not worth 100 it's the exact opposite people are very careful with M says you're right you same might be your fa but is your fa you're only allowed to use money let's so again we have a coin that started off worth $100 it's a sell worth $100 today it's worth 98 when it comes to M Shing you could only use use it for 98 that's what y means not the 100 can only use it for 98 a little even a little less than 98 you can only use it up to 97 let's say because that's what the value in the in the market is a little less than what it actually is why you can't you cannot be you can't put down the maen twice once to use money that's missing a little piece and ones to say that you could use it even as if it's completely whole two two you can't do again two bad things you wanted to do it first of all you want to use for training money that's not complete money has a little dent in it second of all how much is this money worth 98 you want to pretend it's worth 100 that for sure you can't do so two bad things against m not can do so what the really meant to say is when it comes to M you got to use it for exactly what it's worth and probably even a little less have a wonderful week and if you're in Chicago if you're in America great chav 10 p.m Chavez
