## Gittin Daf 65b

###### Gittin 65b:1
[Gittin 65b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:1)

גִּיטָּא לָא הָוֵי – עַד דְּמָטֵית לְמָתָא מַחְסֵיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
However, it **is not a** valid **bill of divorce until you reach Mata Meḥasya.**


###### Gittin 65b:2
[Gittin 65b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:2)

וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אוֹסֵר מִיָּד. פְּשִׁיטָא, דְּהָא מַרְאָה מָקוֹם הִיא לוֹ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna teaches that if the woman said to the agent: Receive my bill of divorce for me in such and such a place, **Rabbi Elazar prohibits** her from partaking of *teruma* **immediately.** The Gemara asks: That **is obvious, as** she **is** merely **indicating a place for him** to receive the bill of divorce and not stipulating that the divorce is contingent upon receipt of the document in that place.


###### Gittin 65b:3
[Gittin 65b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:3)

לָא צְרִיכָא, דַּאֲמַרָה לֵיהּ: ״זִיל לְמִזְרָח, דְּאִיתֵיהּ בְּמִזְרָח״; וְקָא אָזֵל לְמַעֲרָב. מַהוּ דְּתֵימָא, בְּמַעֲרָב – הָא לֵיתֵיהּ; קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן, דִּילְמָא בַּהֲדֵי דְּקָאָזֵיל מֵיגָס גָּאֵיס בֵּיהּ, וִיהַב לֵיהּ גִּיטָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **No,** Rabbi Elazar’s ruling is **necessary** in a case **where she said to him: Go to the east, as** my husband **is in the east, and** the agent **went to the west. Lest you say** that since the husband **is** certainly **not in the west** and the agent will not find him there, the bill of divorce will certainly not take effect until later, Rabbi Elazar **teaches us** that **perhaps while he was going** west, the agent happened to **encounter** the husband, **and** the husband **gave the bill of divorce to** the agent.


###### Gittin 65b:4
[Gittin 65b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:4)

הָאוֹמֵר לִשְׁלוּחוֹ ״עָרֵב לִי בִּתְמָרִים״, וְעֵירַב לוֹ בִּגְרוֹגְרוֹת; ״בִּגְרוֹגְרוֹת״, וְעֵירַב לוֹ בִּתְמָרִים; תָּנֵי חֲדָא: עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב, וְתַנְיָא אִידַּךְ: אֵין עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara cites a related *halakha*. With regard to **one who says to his agent: Establish an *eiruv*** of Shabbat boundaries **on my** behalf **with dates, and he established an *eiruv* on his** behalf **with dried figs,** or if said to his agent: Establish an *eiruv* on my behalf **with dried figs, and he established an *eiruv* on his** behalf **with dates,** it **is taught** in **one** *baraita*: **His *eiruv* is** a valid ***eiruv*. And** it **is taught** in **another** *baraita*: **His *eiruv* is not** a valid ***eiruv*.**


###### Gittin 65b:5
[Gittin 65b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:5)

אָמַר רַבָּה: לָא קַשְׁיָא; הָא רַבָּנַן, הָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר. הָא רַבָּנַן – דְּאָמְרִי: קְפִידָא; הָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, דְּאָמַר: מַרְאָה מָקוֹם הִיא לוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabba said:** This is **not difficult. This** *baraita*, in which it is taught that it is not a valid *eiruv*, is in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis,** and **that** *baraita*, in which it is taught that it is a valid *eiruv*, is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Elazar.** He explains: **This** *baraita* is in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis, who say:** When one gives instructions to his agent, there is **insistence** on his part that the agent implement those instructions without deviation. Failure to do so revokes his designation as his agent. And **that** *baraita* is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Elazar,** who **says: She is** merely **indicating a place for him** to receive the bill of divorce and not stipulating that the divorce is contingent on receipt of the document in that place. In the *baraita* as well, he was not particular as to what food should be used to establish the *eiruv*.


###### Gittin 65b:6
[Gittin 65b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:6)

וְרַב יוֹסֵף אָמַר: הָא וְהָא רַבָּנַן; כָּאן בְּשֶׁלּוֹ, כָּאן בְּשֶׁל חֲבֵירוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rav Yosef said:** Both **this** *baraita* **and that** *baraita* are the opinion of **the Rabbis,** who say: When one gives instructions to his agent, there is insistence on his part that the agent implement those instructions without deviation. However, not all deviations are equal. **Here,** where the *baraita* rules that it is a valid *eiruv*, the reference is to a case where the one who designated the agent instructed him to establish the joining of the courtyard **with his** dates or dried figs and the agent deviated and established the *eiruv* with the other type of fruit, but it belonged to the one issuing the instructions. **There,** where the *baraita* rules that it is not a valid *eiruv*, the reference is to a case where the one who designated the agent instructed him to establish the joining of the courtyard **with** the dates or dried figs **of another,** and the agent deviated and established the *eiruv* with the other type of fruit belonging to that other person. The *eiruv* is not valid because that other person authorized use of only a specific type of fruit.


###### Gittin 65b:7
[Gittin 65b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:7)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ אַבָּיֵי: וְאֶלָּא הָא דְּתַנְיָא, הָאוֹמֵר לִשְׁלוּחוֹ: ״עָרֵב לִי בְּמִגְדָּל״ – וְעֵירַב לוֹ בְּשׁוֹבָךְ, ״בְּשׁוֹבָךְ״ – וְעֵירַב לוֹ בְּמִגְדָּל; דְּתַנְיָא חֲדָא: עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב, וְתַנְיָא אִידַּךְ: אֵין עֵירוּבוֹ עֵירוּב; הָתָם – מַאי שֶׁלּוֹ וְשֶׁל חֲבֵירוֹ אִיכָּא?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said** to Rav Yosef: **However, that which is taught** in a *baraita*: With regard to **one who says to his agent: Establish a joining** of Shabbat boundaries **on my** behalf **in a tower, and he established the *eiruv* in a dovecote,** or he said to the agent: **Establish a joining** of Shabbat boundaries **on my** behalf **in a dovecote, and he established the *eiruv* in a tower,** it is **taught** in **one** *baraita*: **His joining** of Shabbat boundaries **is** a valid ***eiruv*. And** it **is taught** in **another** *baraita*: **His joining** of Shabbat boundaries **is not** a valid ***eiruv*. There, what** distinction between **his** fruit **and** fruit **of another is there?**


###### Gittin 65b:8
[Gittin 65b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:8)

הָתָם נָמֵי, אִיכָּא פֵּירֵי דְמִגְדָּל וּפֵירֵי דְשׁוֹבָךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **There too, there is** a distinction between **fruit of the tower and fruit of the dovecote.** In these *baraitot* the instruction did not relate to the location of the placement of the *eiruv*; rather, the instruction was related to the location of the fruit to be used in establishing the *eiruv*. In one *baraita*, the produce in both locations belongs to the one who designated the agent; in the other *baraita*, the produce in both locations belongs to another.


###### Gittin 65b:9
[Gittin 65b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:9)

**מַתְנִי׳** הָאוֹמֵר: ״כִּתְבוּ גֵּט וּתְנוּ לְאִשְׁתִּי״; ״גָּרְשׁוּהָ״; ״כִּתְבוּ אִיגֶּרֶת וּתְנוּ לַהּ״ – הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ יִכְתְּבוּ וְיִתְּנוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to a husband **who says** to two people: **Write a bill of divorce and give** it **to my wife,** or: **Divorce her,** or: **Write a letter and give** it **to her, they should write** the document **and give** it to her. In each of those cases his intent is clear. He is instructing them to effect her divorce.


###### Gittin 65b:10
[Gittin 65b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:10)

״פַּטְּרוּהָ״; ״פַּרְנְסוּהָ״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כְּנִימוּס״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כָּרָאוּי״ – לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
However, one who said: **Release her,** or: **Sustain her, or: Treat her according to the law [*nimus*],** or: **Treat her appropriately, said nothing,** as none of these expressions clearly expresses his desire to divorce his wife.


###### Gittin 65b:11
[Gittin 65b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:11)

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: ״שַׁלְּחוּהָ״; ״שִׁבְקוּהָ״; ״תָּרְכוּהָ״ – הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ יִכְתְּבוּ וְיִתְּנוּ. ״פַּטְּרוּהָ״; ״פַּרְנְסוּהָ״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כְּנִימוֹס״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כָּרָאוּי״ – לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **The Sages taught** that if the husband said: **Send her,** or: **Separate her,** or: **Banish her,** then all of these expressions convey his will to divorce her, and consequently, **they should write** the bill of divorce **and give** it to her. However, one who said: **Release her [*patruha*],** or: **Sustain her,** or: **Treat her according to the law,** or: **Treat her appropriately, said nothing.**


###### Gittin 65b:12
[Gittin 65b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:12)

תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי נָתָן אוֹמֵר: ״פַּטְּרוּהָ״ – דְּבָרָיו קַיָּימִין, ״פִּיטְרוּהָ״ – לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם. אָמַר רָבָא: רַבִּי נָתָן – דְּבַבְלָאָה הוּא, וְדָיֵיק בֵּין ״פִּיטְרוּהָ״ לְ״פַטְּרוּהָ״, תַּנָּא דִּידַן – דְּבַר אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא, לָא דָּיֵיק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It is taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Natan says:** If one said ***patruha*, his statement stands,** and they give her a bill of divorce. However, if one said ***pitruha*, he said nothing. Rava said: Rabbi Natan, who is a Babylonian, distinguished between *pitruha* and *patruha*.** *Pitruha* means exempt her, which is unrelated to divorce; *patruha* means release her, which is very much related to divorce. However, **the *tanna* of our** mishna, **who is a resident of Eretz Yisrael, did not distinguish** between these two expressions.


###### Gittin 65b:13
[Gittin 65b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:13)

אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: ״הוֹצִיאוּהָ״, מַהוּ? ״עִזְבוּהָ״, מַהוּ? ״הַתִּירוּהָ״, מַהוּ? ״הַנִּיחוּהָ״, מַהוּ? ״הוֹעִילוּ לָהּ״, מַהוּ? ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כַּדָּת״, מַהוּ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: If the husband said: **Remove her, what is** the *halakha*? If he said: **Abandon her, what is** the *halakha*? If he said: **Unbind her, what is** the *halakha*? If he said: **Let her be, what is** the *halakha*? If he said: **Be useful for her, what is** the *halakha*? If he said: **Treat her according to the custom, what is** the *halakha*?


###### Gittin 65b:14
[Gittin 65b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:14)

פְּשׁוֹט מִיהָא חֲדָא, דְּתַנְיָא: ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כַּדָּת״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כְּנִימוֹס״; ״עֲשׂוּ לָהּ כָּרָאוּי״ – לֹא אָמַר כְּלוּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Resolve at least one** of these expressions, **as it is taught** in a *baraita*: One who said: **Treat her according to the custom,** or: **Treat her according to the law,** or: **Treat her appropriately, said nothing** and it is not a valid bill of divorce. Apparently, the expression: Treat her according to the custom, is not an unequivocal instruction to effect divorce.


###### Gittin 65b:15
[Gittin 65b:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:15)

**מַתְנִי׳** בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הָיוּ אוֹמְרִים: הַיּוֹצֵא בְּקוֹלָר, וְאָמַר: ״כִּתְבוּ גֵּט לְאִשְׁתִּי״ – הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ יִכְתְּבוּ וְיִתְּנוּ. חָזְרוּ לוֹמַר: אַף הַמְפָרֵשׁ, וְהַיּוֹצֵא בִּשְׁיָירָא. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן שֵׁזוּרִי אוֹמֵר: אַף הַמְסוּכָּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **At first** the Sages **would say:** In the case of **one who is taken out in a neck chain [*kolar*]** to be executed **and** who **said: Write a bill of divorce for my wife, these** people **should write** the document **and give** it to his wife even though there was no explicit instruction to give it to her. **They then said: Even** with regard **to one who sets sail and one who departs in a caravan** to a far-off place and says: Write a bill of divorce to my wife, his intention is to write the bill of divorce and give it to his wife. **Rabbi Shimon Shezuri says: Even** if **one who is dangerously ill** gives that instruction, they write the bill of divorce and give it to his wife.


###### Gittin 65b:16
[Gittin 65b:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/65b:16)

**גְּמָ׳** גְּנִיבָא יוֹצֵא בְּקוֹלָר הֲוָה, כִּי הֲוָה קָא נָפֵיק, אָמַר: הַבוּ אַרְבַּע מְאָה זוּזֵי לְרַבִּי אֲבִינָא, מֵחַמְרָא דִּנְהַר פַּנְיָא. אָמַר רַבִּי זֵירָא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara relates: **Geneiva was** one who **went out in a neck chain** to be executed. **When he was going out, he said** to the people there as his dying bequest: **Give four hundred dinars to Rabbi Avina from wine** that I have in the city of **Nehar Panya. Rabbi Zeira said:**
