Meseches Kalla Rabbasi is one of the מסכתות קטנות usually printed at the end of the volume of מסכת עבודה זרה in the standard שסי”ן. We are using Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky זצ”ל’s ביאור, which is similar in style to his ביאור on תלמוד ירושלמי, but we also include on screen the text and translation from Sefaria. It is noteworthy that כלה רבתי is comprised not just of ברייתות, but also of גמרות.

Talmud Baveli Berakhos 29b: Which is an abbreviated prayer? Rabbi Eliezer says, "Carry out Your will in the heavens above, and give peace of mind to those who fear You below, and perform that which is good in Your eyes. Blessed are You, Lord, Who listens to prayer." Why isn't "vehatov beEinacha asei" part of […]
Zchia by reuvain for an unknowing shimon is contingent on the acceptance by Shimon and if he declines then it was never his. I?ve always wondered about the status of the object in the indeterminate state between reuven picking it up and shimon declining ownership. If the object is destroyed or causes damage in that […]
All things being equal would you say a person (including a parent) waving his ?right? to a hesped or nihugei aceilut was positive neutral or negative? KT Joel Rich
