Gittin 59 - July 14, 25 Tamuz

This week's learning is sponsored by Rena & Mark Goldstein in honor of their daughter, Jenny, who has been teaching Yeshiva students for 18 years, on the occasion of this important birthday. The sale of a deaf-mute who signals and the sale of a child (who is mature enough to understand) is considered a good sale. The laws of the order of aliyot during Torah reading were instituted in order that people don't fight over who is more respected – first kohen, then levi, then yisrael. Other changes are brought in the Mishna that were instituted because of darkhei shalom and they will be discussed further in the Gemara. What is done when there is no kohen or levi in shul?
