A great opportunity for the entire family, to share some thoughts on the daf ... so the family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying.

"In Honor of Shabbat"
As an introduction we must first explain some basics:
"d'mai" ....... during the Second Temple era, it became apparent to the rabbis, that a significant minority of amei ratzim (basically observant Jews, but ignorant) had become lax in the separation of various required tithes...and we suspect them of lying ...
Accordingly, the rabbis decreed that the produce of an am haaretz be considered דמאי "d'mai" meaning literally "What is this?" In other words, we question if this produce had been tithed? Since we don't know for certain, one may not it eat unless one tithes it.
The Talmud on this daf states that one may not eat produce bought from an am haaretz during the week until you tithe...
The Tannah Rebi Shimon Shezuri, argues and states:
"That one may ask this am haaretz, whether he separated the required tithes, and if he says that he did, one can take him at his word and eat the produce."
On Shabbat, however, even the rabbis agree that one can take the am haaretz on his word and eat the produce if the am haaretz say that he tithed .....
Why?
Because of "Shabbat" ... and on the Shabbat, even an am haaretz wouldn't lie!
Something to think about!
