Hello Everyone,
Today we will study a suggyah from Bava Metziah. The suggyah explores the the enforceability of a particular clause in a contract. This clause is known as “asmachtah.”
The Halachic literature surrounding the “asmachtah clause” is very large and it is not our goal to study the many opinions which surround this topic. Rather , we will limit ourselves to Rashi’s commentary on the suggyah and see how the Amoraim debate the validity of the clause.
