Bava Kamma 8 - November 10, 26 Cheshvan

Study Guide Bava Kamma 8 Today's daf is sponsored by Rabbi Hayim Herring and Terri Krivosha in loving memory of Sgt. Elisheva Rose Lubin, Rose Elisheva bat Chaim David and Nechama Rachel, great-niece of their friends Eddie and Minda Snitkoff, who was murdered on Monday morning November 6, 2023 in Jerusalem. "May her short life and radiant and exuberant spirit be a memory and source of strength to all those who loved her." Today's daf is sponsored by Yair and Ilana Zinn for the refuah shleima of Oz Yehoshua ben Talia Bat-tzion and all those injured and for a safe return of all the hostages.  Is the term "best land" relative to the world or relative to one's own land? Raba Abba answers that it is the best on the land of the one who damaged, irrespective of the value compared to the rest of the world. Rav Shmuel bar Abba raised a difficulty against this answer from a braita. A possible answer is suggested. However several other alternative explanations are brought. If one sells 3 different types of property to 3 different people either all on the same day or separate days, does the one claiming the land in return for a loan, ketuba, or damages claim it based on the order in which it was sold (they get the last property sold) or do they claim it based on the type of land - poor quality, middle or best)?
