Pesachim 52 - January 12, 28 Tevet

Study Guide Pesachim 52 Today’s Daf is sponsored by Gabrielle Altman in memory of Rabbi Ruby Davis z"l, "beloved father of Debby Rapps, who was in his 7th cycle of Daf Yomi, and Rabbi Moshe Rapps z"l, beloved father of AZ Rapps, who inspired thousands with a love of Torah and learning." When someone comes from a place that knew when Rosh Chodesh was and knew when the holiday was and didn't keep two days of Yom Tov in his city but when to a city that did - what does one do? On what does it depend? There was a case of Rav Natan bar Asia who went outside of techum on Yom Tov - why did he think it was ok? Rav Yosef excommunicated him, or gave him lashes (according to a different version). Abaye questioned his actions. Can one excommunicate a Torah scholar even if it make cause a chilul HaShem, desecration of the name of God. The gemara brings 5 different explanations explaining the debate between tana kama and Rabbi Yehuda regarding someone going between two cities where there was still produce in one and not the other. There are three areas for considering whether there is no longer produce in the fields. From where is this derived? Tana kama and Rabbi Shimon debate whether produce taken out of Israel needs to be brought back to Israel to destroy after there are is no longer produce in the fields? How did Rav Safra rule in a case he was involved it? How did Rav Yosef relate to his ruling? Rabbi Ilai cut a tree for wood with some unripe fruits on it in the Sabbatical year. How was he allowed to do this if the dates were shmita produce and he was leaving them to be destroyed?
