In yesterday's daf, we discussed whether a buyer requires to purchase a path to property only accessed through the seller's own property. The rabbis consider whether people in certain relationships have chazaka to access to each other's property. Rav Nachman quotes Shmuel, saying that brothers do not have chazaka with each other regarding their fathers' inheritances. The rabbis consider a case example where one residence is built behind the other. Even in this circumstance, people do not have rights of access, even when this property is received as a guest.
A new Mishna teaches that a person who sells a house is assumed to have included the sale of its door and its mortar fixed to the ground and the immovable lower millstone. Not included are the house's key, portable mortar, the upper stone, the oven nor the double stove.
The Gemara suggests that this Mishna is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Meir: "If one sold a vineyard, he has sold all of the utensils of the vineyard". But what about the items that are not fixed? And is a key "fixed" in a house or not? Which parts of a home are considered to be separate entities and which are part of the house? The rabbis look to other teachings, including a duct that connects to a mikva. Again, we are reminded that Rabbi Eliezer believes that seller sell generously while the rabbis believe that sellers sell sparingly.
I began Daf Yomi (Koren translation) in August of 2012 with the help of an online group that is now defunct. This blog is intended to help me structure and focus my thoughts as I grapple with the text. I am happy to connect with others who are interested in the social and halachic implications of our oral tradition. Respectful input is welcome.
