Bava Kama 62 – Faith In The Marketplace

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 62 is all about real estate. In the page, the Rabbis discuss the difference between two people who take a piece of land from another. Both take it against the will of the original owner, but for one, the owner finally agrees to the sale, and for the second, it is against their will. Are these two types of purchasers the same, or is there a difference between these two purchasers? What must we do to ensure faith in the marketplace for the long-term? Listen and find out.
