Moish was walking along the Yeshiva campus when he saw an MP player lying on the ground. "Looks like one of the guys lost this," he said. "Must have fallen out of his pocket."
Questions:
“Rabbi Cohen finds a lost dog. Does he have an obligation to return it ? If not, is he required to appoint someone else to return it ?”
“A distinguished professor finds a coat, which is wet and muddy from a recent rainstorm. If it had been his, he would have left it there. Does he still have the Mitzvah of Hashovas Aveida?”
Questions:
“After doing my 5 year old son’s carpool, I found an ipod in my car. May I keep it ?”
“While driving down my block, I saw outside near my neighbor’s garbage cans a fish tank in excellent condition. May I take it ?”
“Someone in Cleveland recently threw out a signed basketball jersey. May I take it ?”
Shlomo and Moshe bundled up before walking home in the winter cold. The two boys lived on opposite sides of the neighborhood but had been classmates for ten years. They often went home together to do homework, and were going tonight to Shlomo's house.
