Bava Kamma 33 - December 5, 22 Kislev

Study Guide Bava Kamma 33 Today's daf is sponsored by Nina Black in honor of Jane Shapiro's birthday. "To my friend, machatenista, chevruta, and essential piece of my life, Happy Birthday. I am so lucky to have known you since I was three, and to share community, grandchildren and life with you. Happy Birthday, עד 120 !" If one enters a workshop and gets injured by the person working there, is the workshop owner obligated in the four payments for damages, and if there is an accidental death, does the owner need to go to a refuge city? Does it depend on whether the injured/dead person entered with permission or not? Is this the case where Rabbi Yosi son of Rabbi Chanina made his statement that one is obligated in four payments of damages but exempt from going to a refuge city? Or did he say it about a case where one threw a rock in a public domain and after it was thrown, someone stuck their head out a window and was injured/killed by the rock? If one went to one's employer's house to get paid and was attacked by an animal of the employer, is the employer obligated or not? On what does it depend? How do we calculate damages in a case where two animals attacked each other, or two people attacked each other, or a person and an animal? If a shor tam attacks, since the owner needs to pay up to the value of his/her animal, does that mean that the ox is designated payment for the loan or not? There is an argument about this between Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael and the ramifications of this argument are discussed and various sources are brought to try to see whose opinion they fit in with.
