And I wasn't just kidding about the matzah, because what are Lot and his family and the angels eating on that night that they leave from Sodom? The Torah tells us he fed them matzah.

How is this different? Guys, we learned this both in Bava Metzia and in Ksubas.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
What happened? There was a man, the owner of a donkey.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
He rented a donkey, he rented his donkey, to his friend, however, he made a condition, don't take this donkey, on the road that goes near, why is that? Because the Ikamaya, there's always water there, and that's going to make the animal slip, and get injured or die, and this, you know, you ask the renter, the owner asked, The rentee, where are you going? So he was going over there.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
Okay.

And the last mitzvah for today is mitzvah Slesesei number 270.
Nechama DinaHOST
We are not allowed to ignore a person or an animal that need help because of what they are carrying, even if we do not like the person.
Nechama DinaHOST
This mitzvah comes from Parshat Mishpatim, The details of this mitzvah are also explained in the second parakh of Mesech Tov Bava Metziah.
Nechama DinaHOST
In today's Rambam, we finish this set of Halach Yisilch Yisritzei Chushmir Yisnefesh, and the entire Sefer Nezikin, Mazel Tov.

Parak Yud Aleph teaches us halachis about being careful of dangerous things.
Amichai Lau-LavieHOST
A flower and fruit, a dream and its fulfillment, law and legend, halakha and agadah need each other to meet us in the middle where human life happens.
Amichai Lau-LavieHOST
So with these words of Bialik and Ruth Calderon, we go back to the Talmud, to the great story of in a tractate called Baba Metzia, which in Aramaic means the middle gate, where we will encounter a grand and tragic story that tells us how Jewish law became what it is today.
Amichai Lau-LavieHOST
Are you excited? I am.
Amichai Lau-LavieHOST
We will open the Talmud right after this break.
Aron MossHOST
You're saying, oh, I'll pay a call-out fee, but a full day doesn't seem right.
Aron MossHOST
So let's see where the Talmud falls on this one.
Aron MossHOST
There's a section of the Talmud, it's a chapter in Bava Metziah, government here generally speaks about different monetary obligations and one to the other.
Aron MossHOST
And this particular chapter talks particularly about employment rules and presents the following scenario.
Aron MossHOST
One who hires craftsmen and they renege on the employer or the employer reneges on them, right? So we made a deal, you come into work for me.

And then the Torah gives some examples, and then it says, "Ve lo sanu ish es amiso," but don't cheat each other.
speaker_0HOST
"Ve yareisa m'eleicheha, you shall fear God." Tells us the Mishnah in Bava Metzia fifty-eight B that the Torah is talking about two different mitzvahs.
speaker_0HOST
One is don't cheat each other financially, and the other is don't cheat each other with words.
speaker_0HOST
You'll say, "What do you mean cheat each other with words? What does that even mean?" So we're gonna see that although you call it insulting someone, in Torah terms, it's not called insulting someone.

And then Rav Shmuel bar Nachmeni amar-- Rav Shmuel bar Nachmeni says, "Ze niten lehishevon, ve ze lo niten lehishevon." Money, you can return.
speaker_0HOST
But hurt feelings, you can't return it.
speaker_0HOST
That's the Gemara in Bava Metzia regarding cheating people.
speaker_0HOST
And what we're learning here, this is the way the Gemara is gonna explain it, is that this verse is also referring to these two ideas.
