Introduction
You are walking along the street and find something! What do you do? Keep it? Publicize your discovery? Do you own it? What would the Rabbis’ advise you? What does your local modern law tell you to do?
You will choose an item that you have found. From there you will research modern law and Rabbinic ruling found in Baba Metzia. You will come to a conclusion of what you have to do with the item you discovered! What kind of society are the Rabbis and modern society trying to set up?
