Gittin 72 - Tisha b'Av - July 27, 9 Av Jul 26, 2023

The discussion from the last daf continues as to who the Mishna is according to - Rabbi Meir or Rabbi Yossi regarding whether or not messengers can set up other messengers to write and give the get. If a man divorces his wife conditioning it upon his death - does that work? Tana kama holds that it depends on the wording - if he said this is your get from now if I die, it works - upon his death, the get applies retroactively from the date he gave it. If not, it doesn't work. Rabbi Yossi holds that it works in any case because the get is dated from today and therefore the date proves that he meant the get to be effective upon his death retroactive to the date in the get. Rav Huna's statement about this Mishna is questioned and the Gemara struggles to explain according to who he was relating and to which case.

According to Rav, a deaf person who can write can write a note instructing others to give a get to his wife. The Gemara points out that his law is debated among tanaim. The Gemara here is grappling with issues of people with disabilities and is aware of the fact that although people may be categorized into a particular group, there are shades within each group and there are those with higher intellectual capabilities.

The Gemara continues to discuss remedies for various diseases as well as explain what causes some of the various diseases. The Mishna rules that a person who sent a messenger to write a get and then got kordiyakus and then said not to write the get, we ignore his later orders. There is an argument between Resh Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan about whether the messenger can write the get while the husband has the kordiyakus or does he wait until the husband gets better and then writes it based on his earlier instructions. This addresses the issue of the power of appointing a messenger. Is the messenger now acting independently of the one who sent them? Or is the messenger only an extension of the one who sent them and if the one who sends the messenger is longer of sound mind, then the messenger cannot perform the action?

There is halachic validity to various acts of children depending on their level of maturity. There are various stages mapped out in the Gemara for different acts. A minor however cannot appoint a messenger. If a man or woman appoints a messenger to deliver (man) or accept (woman) the get and specifies a location, if the messenger does it in a different location, is it valid? Does it depend if it was the man or the woman's messenger? Does it depend on how the request was worded? If a woman appointed a messenger to accept her get, from what point is she not allowed to eat truma in the event that she was married to a kohen? What types of commands would be clear that a man intends to send messengers to write and deliver a get? Which wording does not indicate such?

Gittin 64 - Rosh Chodesh Av - July 19, 1 Av Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Today's daf is sponsored by Marcia Baum in loving memory of Sam Baum, Chaim Simcha haLevi ben Aharon haLevi v'Liba on his 20th yahrzeit. "My dad was a larger-than-life individual who was steadfast in his love for family, Israel and yahadut. Stories of his escapades resound even twenty years after his petirah. He is sorely missed by those of us who knew and loved him!"

Can a messenger sent by the husband to deliver to a get to his wife also function as a messenger to accept the get for his wife? If the husband gave a get to a middleman and the middleman claims he was given the get to accept on behalf of the wife and the husband claims he gave it to him to hold for him but not to accept it, who is believed? Would the same laws regarding monetary issues and middlemen apply or is this case different? Can the father or the daughter accept the get in the case of a betrothed na'ara (in between stage between child and adult)?

Study Guide Gittin 63

A woman can only appoint a messenger to accept the get and a husband can only appoint a messenger to deliver the get. If the messenger is accepting the get, then the get is effective immediately. If the messenger is delivering the get then the get is effective once it reaches the woman. The relevance: whether or not the husband can change his mind. What happens when the husband uses wording of "accept" instead of "deliver"? What happens if the messenger is sent by the wife to deliver the get to her but he tells the husband that he was appointed to accept the get? In this case, no one properly appointed him to be a messenger so the get isn't good even once the wife receives it. If the term "heilach" - meaning "here it is" is used by the husband, does everyone agree that it means the get is effective immediately or is there a disagreement about it? Can a man send a messenger to deliver and the woman send a messenger to receive it from the husband's messenger?
