What is a person’s level of responsibility toward the lost item once it is in his possession? \u00a0He needs to feed an animal, air out parchment, etc. \u00a0But if the animal is not producing enough to pay for its food, the owner should sell the animal. \u00a0Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva debate whether this money can be used or needs to be set aside – this then affects their level of responsibility for the money if something were to happen to it. \u00a0What level of responsibility they are arguing about is a subject of debate in the gemara? \u00a0Are they arguing about if the item gets lost or do they all agree that he is responsible for that and they argue over a case of ones,<\/em>\u00a0accidental damage (like a \u00a0borrower because if he can use this money, it is viewed as a loan and one who takes out a loan assumes responsibility for accidental damage). \u00a0Details regarding taking care of lost items are discussed – what is one’s obligation and what is not allowed? \u00a0How often?<\/p>\n
