Shevuot 41: Suit and Countersuit

Talking Talmud

About this episode

NOTE: We are still dedicating our study of daf yomi to the speedy and complete recovery of בילא פריידא בת העניא מינא - Baila Freyda bat Henya Minna (with apologies for any mis-transliteration).


NOTE: The app we use to record has updated itself and is blocking the recording of some of the Hebrew/reading from the Talmud. We apologize for this and are looking for a solution in the next few days.


Biblically mandated oaths vs. rabbinically mandated oaths - which leads into the question whether the defendant can kick it back to the plaintiff. For a deaf-mute, cognitively impaired person, or a minor - they have the protections against theft. But the reversal of oaths remains possible, and flips on its head, when you know an oath-taker is likely to be unreliable in doing so. Also, a mnemonic to help remember the halakhah. Plus, looking to keep those who are expected to swear falsely from swearing at all.
