Rav Moshe Taragin | Cherev Ke-chalal - The Intensity of Tum'a in Metal Utensils | In general the transfer of tum'a is characterized by descending levels. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Possessing Hazardous Items | Talmudic Methodology | |
Rav Moshe Taragin | The Prohibition Against Possessing Hazardous Items | The halakha prohibits one from keeping dangerous items in his home. Is this essentially a measure to ensure the rights of potential victims, or is it an independent rule that is unrelated to victims' rights? | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Gorem | Throughout Halakha, the parameters of legal ownership are defined in a clear fashion. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Shiur #03: Possessing Hazardous Items ֠Part 2 | Talmudic Methodology | |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Can a Kal ve-Chomer be Employed to Administer Monetary Compensation | Talmudic Methodology | |
Rav Moshe Taragin | The 50% Payment of a Tam Animal | R. Huna classifies the payment for the keren damage caused by a seemingly harmless animal (tam) as a kenas, and therefore only half the damage is compensated. The simplest way to explain this view is that R. Huna maintains that fundamentally, no compensation is required, since most domesticated animals are presumed to be harmless; the fine of half-payment is levied to deter future incidents. In this shiur, we will evaluate if this explanation accounts for the halakha and suggest an alternate approach. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Meitav - Compensating Damage with Land | Though many Talmudic discussions regarding monetary laws center around how much money if any is paid, the gemara also addresses the method of payment. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | The Basic Definition of Tzerorot | Talmudic Methodology | |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Immediate Keren Mu'ad | In this shiur, we will consider five cases in which keren damage caused by an animal are immediately classified as having the status of a mu'ad, even though it is a first time offense. We will use these cases to evaluate the different ways of viewing the general 50% payment obligation for keren tam. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Tzerorot (part 2) Are Tzerorot Payments Capped by the Mi-Gufo Limitation | Talmudic Methodology | |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Understanding the Category of Regel | In this shiur, we will discuss the regel category of damages. Is regel simply a form of shein, defined as damages caused without aggressive intention, but also without the intent of pleasure seeking? Or is regel an independent category, defined as damages caused in the course of an animal's walking, such that no real action was performed on the part of the animal? We will discuss a number of ramifications of this question. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Torah Study vs. Mitzva Performance | Judaism is unique in assigning Torah study the central role within religious experience. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Defining the Parameters of Tzerorot Damage | The gemara distinguishes between regel damages and tzerarot damages, indirect damage that is liable only for half-payment. What is the logical difference between the two? Does classic regel only obtain in situations of direct contact with the animal’s body (or its appendages), while damages caused by direct acts without physical contact is classified as tzerorot? Or is all action-based damage classified as regel, while the hurtling of projectiles is not considered the act of the animal and is thus defined as tzerorot? | Talmudic Methodology |

Rav Moshe Taragin | The Position of Sumchus: Mammon Ha-Mutal Be-Safek Cholkim | Sumchus holds the minority opinion that disputed monies should be divided between litigated parties and not automatically awarded to the possessor. In this shiur, we will analyze a number of approaches taken to explain this enigmatic position. | Talmudic Methodology |
Rav Moshe Taragin | Geneivat Da'at | One is not permitted to promote false impressions - literally, to steal the knowledge of another. | Talmudic Methodology |
