How should we apologize and how far does it go?

The summary of what was done in the previous shiur is in the notes for that session, above, and the source material to be used in this shiur is posted there also,

At the beginning of this shiur, we will continue with the dialog between Rav Yosef ben Habo and R. Abahu concerning the verse in Shmuel I chapter 2, and reach a clear understanding of how in the end R. Abahu explains the verse. We will read the comments and explanations of Rashi on this piece. Then we will continue on to the following segments of the gemara, which define the extent of the requirement to appease the wronged party. Finally, and time allowing, we will read the first stories brought in the gemara which help us understand the way the amoraim view this requirement and its boundaries.
