Study Guide Bava Batra 18

Rava and Abaye debate whether one can dig a pit right near the border of another if, on the other side of the border, there is no pit right now - or does one need to be concerned that one may want to dig a pit there in the future. Abaye says he is allowed to and Rava disagrees. Eight questions from our Mishna and the upcoming mishnayot in the chapter are brought to question Rava's opinion. Each question is resolved (many of them in an identical manner).
