COMMUNICATION LINES

[55a middle] Gemarah: If a husband designated a piece of land (for his wife’s Kesuvah) and defined its four borders, everyone agrees that if she is widowed she may collect the land without taking an oath [but if he had only delineated one border for the land, there is a Machlokes (argument) if she needs and oath to acquire it].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: One should always try to delineate exact messages of what he/she is trying to convey to others. This can help prevent confusion and miscommunication (which is especially important among close family and friends). Keep clear lines of communication to ensure healthy relationships.
