Bava Batra 4 - Shabbat June 29, 23 Sivan
Manage episode 426034648 series 3339651
How did Herod, who was a slave, become a king? How did he end up being the one who renovated the Temple? What are the rules for partitions in a garden or in a field where there is no established custom? When one resident cannot force the other to build a wall, the one who wants it builds it exclusively on their property and puts an identifying marker on it. Why does the marker go on the other side of the wall? Why, in the case where both build the wall, do they need to put a marker on both sides? If a neighbor is surrounded on three sides by one landowner and that landowner erected three walls, the inner neighbor does not need to share in the cost of the walls. But if they put up a fourth wall, the inner neighbor must share the costs. There is a debate about whether it matters who put up the fourth wall and whether or not the inner neighbor needs to share the costs of just the fourth wall or all the walls. Does the inner neighbor need to pay according to the actual cost of the wall, only according to the cheapest market rate for a wall, or possibly even only for what it would cost to hire a watchman to protect the field?
