H David Levine asks:
How, after Torah commands, (Deut. 23:16,) "do not return a slave to his master," does Bartenura describe in Nazir 9:1, vis a vis R. Yosi's psak that he may drink, she'Yevakesh Rabi Acharav v'Yachzirenu?

The Kollel replies:
Rashi in Ki Seitzei explains that the verse is speaking only where the Eved ran away from his Nochri master, or that he ran away -- even from his Jewish master -- from Chutz la'Aretz to Eretz Yisrael.
Wishing you a freilichen Chanukah,
