Gittin 7: Various Halachot

A number of pieces of wisdom from today's daf:


  • A man should not terrorize his home for fear that people could cause him to sin (for example by serving him the severed leg of an animal still alive)
  • When annoyed with another person's transgressions, Rabbi Eliezar tells Mar Ukba to simply say "resign yourself to the Lord and wait patiently for Him"
  • Music and drink are not always recommended at tables where there is wine
  • Bridegrooms do not wear garland crowns at their weddings
  • All people must give charitably according to their means
  • A get written on a boat at sea is considered to have been written within the land of Israel when the boat is relatively close to the shore
  • A simple pot (likely pottery that has not been fired) is used for many purposes - garbage collection, plant pot, etc.
  • The rabbis debate the northern boarders of Israel along the Mediterranean sea - their debate continues today!
