Siyum Bava Kamma is sponsored by the Shuster family in loving memory of Ozer's mother Devorah Shuster and as a zechut for complete lasting peace in Eretz Yisrael. Siyum Bava Kamma is sponsored by Ilana Friedman in honor of the marriage today of her wonderful niece Adira Leah Barber to Yonatan Glicksman. "May HaShem grant you the zechut to build a strong Jewish household steeped in Torah values that will continue our family’s and nation’s mesora. Mazal tov!" Today's daf is sponsored by Lisa Lowe with love and gratitude to David Denker and all of the chayalim of Hativa 55 who have and are defending Israel and our People. "May you be safe and go from strength to strength. "  Today's daf is sponsored by Susan Vishner in loving memory of her parents Ruth and Everett Gruber, Rivkah Rahel Bat Nachman Yair v'Menucha Baila, and Yehuda Gedalia Ben Sender Chaim v'Perl, on what would have been their actual 19th wedding anniversary. "They shared great love for one another, for their family and for Israel and Jewish learning."  Different situations are described where the seller could be selling stolen items and therefore it is forbidden to purchase them. In what cases/circumstances are we suspicious/not suspicious? From where do we learn that one who steals from another, is considered as if they took the soul of the one they robbed? The Masechet ends by delineating what remains of items workers are allowed to keep for themselves and what parts they need to return to the owner, alluding to the fact that in regular everyday situations, one could become a thief just by not being careful enough.
