(a)When a person acquires an object, he must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan, a formal Halachically-binding act denoting his acquisition of the object, in order for the acquisition to be irrevocably binding. Depending on what object one is acquiring, different Kinyanim are used.

(b)One of the forms of Kinyan that may be used for the acquisition of Metaltelin (mobile items) is Kinyan Chatzer (domain). The Torah teaches that a Chatzer can acquire an item that enters it on the owner's behalf, as Chazal derive from the verse, "אִם הִמָּצֵא תִמָּצֵא בְיָדוֹ" "Im Himatzei Timatzei b'Yado" - "If the theft be at all found in his hand" (Shemos 22:3; Bava Metzia 10b, RASHI DH Mi Kani).

(c)The Amora'im argue whether a Chatzer is Koneh a Metzi'ah because it can be considered like the Shali'ach of its owner, or whether it is considered like the Yad (hand) of its owner. If it is like a Shali'ach, the Chatzer of a Katan (minor) is not Koneh for him, since a Katan cannot appoint a Shali'ach. If it is like a Yad, however, even the Chatzer of a Katan can be Koneh for him when he is standing alongside it or in it (since that is when it is like his hand). With regard to a Get, all agree that a Chatzer is Koneh for the woman because it is considered her Yad. Therefore, even a Ketanah can be divorced by placing the Get in her Chatzer if she is standing alongside it. Similarly, a woman may be divorced even against her will by placing a Get into her Chatzer, if she is standing alongside it, even though a Shali'ach cannot accept her Get against her will (see TOSFOS to Bava Metzia 10b DH v'Iy).

(d)Even movable items (e.g. a basket) can be considered like a Chatzer, and they are Koneh on their owner's behalf any items that are lying in it. However, if the basket is currently placed in the domain of another, the Amora'im argue as to whether it can be Koneh for its owner from the person who owns the domain (see Background to Kidushin 3:8:b:2).

(e)Living beings that a person owns (such as slaves or animals) cannot acquire for their owners any object that is placed upon them through the Halachah of Chatzer; this is because a mobile Chatzer ("Chatzer Mehaleches") does not safeguard what is on it for the use of its owner in the way that a non-mobile Chatzer does (Rashi Bava Metzia 9b DH Mikni). (The fact that a Chatzer must provide a minimal amount of protection to its contents is learned from the above verse, see Rashi there, and Rosh to Gitin 7:5. A mobile Chatzer provides even less protection than a non-mobile Chatzer lacking a fence, and therefore it cannot even acquire a purchase for its owner, see following paragraph.) An animal or slave that is bound is viewed as a non-mobile object with regard to Kinyan Chatzer, as our Sugya explains.

(f)In order for a Chatzer to acquire a Metzi'ah, the Chatzer must be Mishtameres l'Da'ato, i.e. protected as a result of the owner's authority. If the Chatzer is not Mishtameres, it can be Koneh a Metzi'ah only if the owner is standing in or alongside it (Bava Metzia 11a). A Chatzer can be used to acquire an item that is being purchased, though, even if it is not Mishtameres and the owner is not alongside it. A Chatzer cannot be used to acquire a Get for a woman unless she is standing in or alongside it, even if it is Mishtameres (RASHI and many Rishonim to Bava Metzia 12a - see Insights and Chart there).

(g)Some maintain that it is possible to acquire land through a Kinyan Chatzer as well (see Insights to Bava Kama 12:2:a:3).

11)[line 8]חצר מהלכתCHATZER MEHALECHES

(a)When a person acquires an object, he must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan (a formal Halachically-binding act denoting the change in ownership). See previous entry.

(b)The Kinyan of Chatzer works only when the Chatzer is a stationary domain. If the Chatzer is a moving domain ("Chatzer Mehaleches" - lit. "a walking Chatzer"), then the Chatzer is not effective to make a Kinyan. Hence, an object placed on a person's animal cannot be acquired through Kinyan Chatzer (even though the animal is considered the person's domain), because the animal is a moving Chatzer.

The corner, or end, of the harvest must be left in the field for the poor, as it states "לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ לִקְצֹר... לֶעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּעֲזֹב אֹתָם" "Lo Sechaleh Pe'as Sadecha Liktzor... le'Ani vela'Ger Ta'azov Osam" - "Do not completely harvest the corner of your field... you shall leave them (the gifts of Pe'ah, Leket, Olelos and Peret) for the poor and the stranger" (Vayikra 19:9-10).
