today is day number 306 of our daily
study of raah mitv and in the three
chapters today study track of mish We
are continuing
in the laws of litigant chapters 78 and
nine and our mitz for today is a repeat
positive commandment 246 it is the
Mitzvah to follow the torah's laws
regarding what to do when you have a
claimant and a defendant litigant in a
bezdan in a ribonic court of law okay so
I explained that basically what it comes
down to here is a sh a Biblical oath
that one guy says hey you owe me this
and the other guy says no I don't or uh
I owe you something but not what you
said right and then he'll have to take
an oath in order to not have to pay what
the claimant wants him to pay so I said
there are three three scenarios
biblically where one would where the
defendant would have
to uh actually take that
oath yesterday I mentioned theas the one
who makes a partial admission I don't
owe you 100 I only owe you 50 okay you
want to avoid paying the other 50 you're
going to have to take an oath if you
don't want to take the oath which is
your prerogative then you're going to
have to pay all right scenario number
two is where there is one Aid the word
Aid doesn't mean like a helper a the
Hebrew word a inid a means a witness in
Torah everything is established by
eyewitness testimony but it has to be
two ADM at least two ADM is the plural
of a has to be two uh Witnesses one
witness is not testimony testimony is
minimum two
witnesses okay so what happens if two
witnesses come in by the way just jfyi
if two witnesses come to Bon to the
ribonic court and say uh this guy ruven
owes shim $100 guess what ruven's going
to have to pay shim $100 that's how
bezan works okay but let's say one
witness comes in one witness cannot be
the basis to force ruen to pay shim $100
but it is the basis to force him to take
an oath in order to um deny the claim or
the testimony that the one witness is
making so that would be the other
scenario where someone would a counter
claimant would have to take an oath okay
we we're going to continue this Mitzvah
and we'll see you for more tomorrow God
willing
