Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
Rebbi Yochanan teaches us that just as the Eruv doesn’t require a Perutah, likewise Sechirus has this leniency and can be done with less than a Perutah. How does this fit with Rebbi Yochanan’s earlier statement (62a) that less than a Perutah has legitimate value by a Goy for all halachos as well?
Since this is not the only similarity to Eiruv mentioned here, it may very well be that Rebbe Yochanan’s statement was not ton announce this as a Chiddush.
There is also something of a Chiddush in this case. When you rent with less than a Peruta it definitely doesn’t sound and feel like a real rental. It is sort of a ritual rental and it surely is seen that way. This is what many are worried about when we sell Chametz, to make sure that we all realize that there is a real Kinyan going on.
