SUMMARY A BIT MORE ccyy

BRIEF INSIGHT THE TESTIMONY OF ONE WITNESS   Rav Huna bar Yehoshua says that if one of two witnesses who authenticated the Shtar claims that the Shtar was written conditionally, he is believed. The Ritva says that this applies only to testimony about a condition in the Shtar. In contrast, if one of the witnesses who authenticated the Shtar testifies that the debt in the Shtar was paid, his testimony does not invalidate the Shtar. He is regarded only as a single witness who testifies that a Shtar was paid, and the Din is that the lender must make a Shevu'ah that it was not paid, and he may collect the Shtar. QUICK HALACHAH A SEFER TORAH WITH A MISTAKE   If a Sefer Torah has mistakes, it may not be kept for more than thirty days. It must either be fixed or buried. The same is true for other Sefarim. A Sefer may not be corrected if merely logic dictates that there is a mistake; only if there is clear proof that there is a mistake may one correct the Sefer.   If a person wants to correct the Sefer with a footnote, without erasing the original version, it is permitted, even if one does not have clear proof that it is a mistake. (Pischei Teshuvah)
