Description
Gefet: Gemara, Perushim and Tosfot
An in-depth (Iyun) Gemara shiur with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz (Episode 87)
What happens when the testimony of two witnesses contradicts the testimony of two others? Clearly, someone is lying - we just don't know who the liars are. Can these witnesses testify again in the future? Rav Huna thinks they can, but Rav Chisda disagrees. What is Rav Huna's rationale? And why should this case be any different from a case of Eidim Zomemim, in which we believe the second set of witnesses? Join us for a taste a complex sugya that deals with sefekot, chazakot, truth, and trust. Bava Batra 31
