Today's shiur is sponsored by Betsy Mehlman and the Mehlman family in memory of their father and grandfather z"l.
The gemara continues to bring answers and challenge them to the question: how did the minsha bring cases where one is obligated if the item was uprooted and placed in someone's hand and not from/in a space of four by four handsbreaths? The gemara brings six answers and rejects them all, other than the last - of Rava - that a person's hand is significant like a space of 4x4. The gemara brings various laws stated by Rabbi Yochanan regarding similar cases - throwing items in the public domain to someone else, throwing and catching it oneself in a different place than one intended originally, taking rainwater from someone else's domain and bringing it into the public domain, taking food that one intended to move around the house but then took them outside. In all these cases - is one obligated or not? On what circumstances does it depend?
