daf bit: Gittin 67

Feb 18, 2016 08:56

The mishna teaches: if a man is delirious from new wine from the vat (that is, he's drunk) and he says "write a get for my wife", his words have no effect. If he says "write a get for my wife", then becomes delirious from wine, and says "no don't do it", they ignore him. (We don't listen to his instructions when it's the wine that's talking, regardless of whether he's asking for action or inaction.) If he is struck dumb and they ask "shall we write a get for your wife?" and he nods his head, they test him with three more questions. If he signals the correct answers for all three, then they conclude that he is still of sound mind and they write the get and deliver it for him. (67b)
By the way, the g'mara gives us the remedy for the wine-delirium: red meat broiled on the coals and wine highly diluted.
