"Migo" and Trust
This Talmud course is an in-depth analysis of 'Migo', a Talmudic principle often used by the court to give a claimant the right to validate a claim- as discussed in the third chapter of tractate Bava Batra.

When a 'Migo' is Invalid
The Talmud on Migo, Lesson 1
This Talmud class explores Talmudic principle of 'Migo', a logic often employed by the court to ascertain the veracity of a claim. We analyze real cases of litigation presented to the court, which probe the limitations of a Migo-challenging us in some Jewish mental aerobics.

Circumventing the Oath
The Talmud on Migo, Lesson 2
This Talmud class explores Talmudic principle of 'Migo', a logic often employed by the court to ascertain the veracity of a claim. We analyze a real case of litigation presented to the court, which examines the validity of a Migo to avoid swearing - challenging us in some Jewish mental aerobics.

The Silver Ingot Case
The Talmud on Migo, Lesson 3
This Talmud class explores the Talmudic principle of 'Migo', a logic often employed by the court to ascertain the veracity of a claim. The Talmud presented a court case involving a dispute over real-estate property, where only one witness was produced to support a claim. We now compare and contrast this case to the famous case of the "silver ingot", which also had only one witness.
