Our next Mishnah continues to deal with the question which the mishnah began to deal with in mishnah one, when a house is sold what things are sold with and as part of the house?
The reason why everything is not included in the sale is because when someone is for example selling a house, he’s only selling it because he’s strapped for cash. So although we assume that a seller sells b’ayin yofeh - generously, this doesn’t include items which are not part of the house.
We focus on a Rav who mirrored this generosity of spirit in his untiring efforts during WWII to save Jews….Rav Eliezer Silver (OBM) and the controversy surrounding the Vaad Hatzalah.
