daf bit: Bava Batra 146

Jan 14, 2010 09:03

The mishna teaches: if a dying man gave all his property, in writing, to others, but kept some land for himself, his gift is valid -- it stands even if he recovers. (The g'mara asks: how much is "some"? Enough for his maintenance, according to Rav Yehudah in the name of Rav.) If, however, he did not keep any land for himself, his gift is invalid -- he would not have given everything away if he thought he would live. (146b mishna, 149a g'mara)
