the top line even if I assume the responsibility of which means that if it's if it was stolen I'm off the hook I'm Potter but I'm only if I was careless if I was reckless still, even if I'm only a Shemekhinim, I still have an obligation to get rid of the Chomet.
And even if, you know, I'm not Chaiv, you know, according to Torah law, I'm a Shemekhinim, and therefore I'm part of Gnevon HaVeda.
Again, the yesh eimrim says that even though I'm a shem echinim, and therefore I'm part of a geneva naved, and therefore I haven't assumed a responsibility, nevertheless, if the reality on the ground is that this any Yehudi is a strong guy and he's going to force me to pay up, chayev levarei, I've got to get rid of the Chomets.
If the guy's in town, before Pesach, I should just return it to him, because otherwise I've got to get rid of it.
But if the non-Jewish person is not in town, and I can't return it to him, like we said yesterday, what you do is, you include this Chomet in your Mechira, in your sale, and also you do Bittl.
Now, that Bittl and Mechira is not going to help if it doesn't actually belong to me, it's not mine.
Nevertheless, in this situation, you can't return it to him, and therefore, we can be so much on the Mechira that, you know, the Bittl and the Mechira works.
However, if we're talking about the afternoon of Erev Pesach, where it's already hit Shashishis, and therefore it's too late to sell it to the Akum, that we're going to get to later, we can be sober on the first Sfora, and the first opinion here in Tifalov, that I have not got an obligation to get rid of it.
I'm allowed to hold on to this until the owners come to town, and then I can return it.
