Daf Yomi for Women - Hadran - Podcast tekijän mukaan Michelle Cohen Farber

Today’s daf is sponsored by Jill and Jeff Shames. “In memory of avi mori, William Baker, Zeev Velvel ben Chana v'Reuven on his 2nd yahrzeit. Dad, still missing your loving embrace. Your memory is a blessing.”  What are names that are clearly gentile names? If according to Rabbi Shimon, the issue is really whether or not the names are clearly gentile names, why isn't that stated explicitly in the Mishna? Rabbi Akiva and the rabbis disagree regarding divorce and emancipation documents signed by gentiles, not in a gentile court. Rashbag adds a further distinction. What is the root of this debate? Reish Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan have a further discussion regarding whether or not a get that comes from abroad and has signatures with gentile names but it is unclear if it was signed by Jews with gentile names or by gentiles. If one sent a get or emancipation document with a messenger, can they change their mind before the document reaches the recipient? The debate is depending on whether you view it as a good/bad thing for the recipient, as one can acquire something on behalf of others without their knowledge if it is good for them but not if it is bad for them (zachin l'adam she'lo b'fanav/ein chavin l''adam ela b'fanav) . Is this connected to the issue of one who seizes property from a debtor to return to a creditor without the creditor knowing? Is one allowed to do this? Is it permitted even if there are other creditors?
