A new Mishna continues an earlier conversation about the effects of the death of one party on a gift or a loan. An example is the provision of a loan for a Kohen, a Levite or a poor person. If those people change status in some way, the original loan agreement holds.
If one of them dies, the lender must contact his heirs to ensure that other laws are not forgotten.
The Gemara discusses laws around poor people and how they might differ for Jews, Samaritans and other Gentiles. Part of the determination of whether to continue to separate tithes and teruma in the case of a death of the receiver has to do with what is 'common’.
We explore the rules of charity and inheritance as well as the history of priests and indulgences and the abuse thereof.
