  • Brief Insight
    A POSSIBLE KENUNYA

    If someone finds a Shtar of a third party among his Shtaros and he is unsure if it was given to him as a Pikadon from the borrower or the lender or if it was partially paid and they both gave it to him and than they forgot about it, he should put it away until the arrival of Eliyahu ha'Navi. The Rashba says that even if the both the borrower and lender agree that the Shtar was not yet paid and they instruct him to give it to the lender he should not give it to him because of the concern that they have a deal between them to collect from the Lekuchos and split the money. However, the Rosh argues and he says that we are only concerned for a deal between the lender and borrower if the Shtar was lost because when a Shtar is lost it generates doubts about the Shtar, but with regards to a Shtar that was given as a Pikadon we are not concerned and it should be given to the lender in the event that they both instruct him to do so. [Nimukei Yosef]
  • Quick Halachah
    SHTAR IN A KLI

    If someone finds a Shtar in a utensil it shall be given to the person who gives a Siman on the utensil. Even if the person doesn't give a Siman on the utensil but when he announces that he found a Shtar the person says that you found it in such and such a utensil if it is not common for a Shtar to be kept in that utensil it is regarded as a Siman. (Shulchan Aruch CM 132:4)
  • Chakirah
    The Gemara says that a Get that is found shall be returned because the Mishnah states that a Ma'aseh Beis Din shall be returned and R. Amram asks that one may not learn Isur from Mamon. Why can't Isur be learned from Mamon? Mamon is more stringent than Isur as with Mamon we do not follow the majority which with Isur we do follow the majority even against a Chezkas Isur!
