Pesachim 96 - February 25, 13 Adar

Study Guide Pesachim 96 Today's Daf and the next month of study are sponsored by Terri Krivosha in in the memory of her beloved father Nahum Mayar ben Dovid Baer. "As we mark the last day of his shloshim, Mary Oliver's words describe perfectly my father's view of life: "When it's over I want to say: all my life I was the bride married to amazement, I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular and real. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world". My dad, Judge Norman Krivosha was a remarkable individual who did far more than simply visit this world. We miss his presence but are honored by his memory.

What is the law regarding a substitute of the original one? On what does that depend?
