The Beraisa states that a Jewish servant goes free after 6 years or at Yovel or with the death of the master but a Jewish maidservant does not go free with these things.

The Gemara explains that a Jewish maidservant does not go free with these three things if her master did Yi'ud.

We see differences in our daf between the treatment of a Hebrew maidservant vs a Hebrew male slave.

Beyond the elements already mentioned in our last two dapim, the rabbis delve into the fact that a Hebrew maidservant is not sold a second time.

They walk us through the possible reasons that a Hebrew slave or a Hebrew maidservant might be sold twice.

We present the wonderful scholarship by Diane Krueger on THE SHIFḤAH NEḤEREFET OF LEVITICUS 19:20-22.
