Intro to יאוש שלא מדעת

when a person gives up hope of ever finding or having a lost object returned to him, we say that he has felt .....

• מוּקְצָה

• הֶפְקֵר

• יֵאוּשׁ

A lost object about which the owner has felt יֵאוּשׁ is...

• still very much on his mind - he is still attached to it and feels it is his

• not really on his mind - he feels he used to own such an object but doesn't anymore.

• is still the owner's - he bought it, it's his.

An object is in the owners possession. But the owner doesn't feel any connection to it. He never uses it, never pays attention to it, he's even forgotten he owns it. This object....

• still belongs to the owner.

• no longer belongs to the owner

• will always belong to the owner.

An object which no longer belongs to the owner is like.....

• a מְצִיאָה

• an אבידה

• הֶפְקֵר

If I find an object which no longer belongs to the owner.....

• I must leave it where I found it.

• I must pick it up and return it to the owner.

• I must pick it up and keep it.

• I may pick it up and keep it.

An object about which the owner will feel יֵאוּשׁ

• still belongs to the owner.

• no longer belongs to the owner.

• is like הֶפְקֵר

• is the subject the אביי and רבא are arguing about
