Masechet Sanhedrin Chapter  3 

This chapter of the Mishnah deals with witnesses, in particular those disqualified from being a witness.

 

 

Mishnah Gimmel:

 These are invalid: dice-players, people who loan at interest, pigeon-flyers, and sellers of Sabbatical goods….

 

Mishnah Dalet:

And these are the relatives  disqualified from testifying or judging:

A)  his father, his brother, his father's brother, his mother's brother, his sister's husband, his father's sister's husband, his mother's sister's husband, his step-father,

B)   his father-in-law, and his brother-in-law [his wife's sister's husband], these and their sons and sons-in-law; and his step-son alone. Rabbi Yose said, this is the teaching of Rabbi Akiva. But the original teaching said: his uncle, and the son of his uncle, all his potential heirs, and anyone related to him at that time.

 One who used to be related to him but is no longer- behold, he is acceptable. Rabbi Yehudah says, even if his daughter dies, and his son-in-law had children with her- behold, the daughter's widowed husband is a relation.

A court of 71 there would be

For issues national, so says history

and 23 at a time

For each capital crime

now, jews only have  courts of ________ 

 

 

You could write a gett on a boat

Or on a sign hanging over a moat

Yossi Ha Galili  brings

A ban on living things

So no writing a gett on a   ______ 

 

 

You need to use ink,  not burnt bread

And it must be clear enough to be read

And while now all is black

The Mishnah's color's don't lack

Once you could write a Gett
that was________ .

 

Some parts of Jewish divorce are wild

Who can write a gett? What’s Filed?

Anyone,  deaf or mute,

Either ancient or cute,

Yes,  you can have your get written by a _____________ .

 

Anyone can deliver Gittin, this is true

But there is one group that won’t do

Even close to our heart

But of our court, not a part

So no delivery by a non-________.

 

We like to order stuff by the batch,

From Costco, in bundles that match

But a gett is not so

No pre made ones, you know

Every gett is made at court from ___________.
