Reply To: Rubah Dlesah Lekaman

Charles:

chazaka (in some cases, like the camels) means a general happening (such as any chazaka of “in general” (the stam) which is a rubah d’leisah kaman.

You (seem) to be talking about Ruba D’alma, which is similar to a Ruba D’eisa Lkaman as it uses actual probability based on # of items, vs. generalizations based on prior (not current) patterns, such as “camels in general when in this state damage” or “people in general do not pay their loans before they are due”.

Chazaka can also be the status quo (different idea). That is not the Chazaka meant here.

Like you, I am also rusty on the topic.

P.S. I apologize for not being able to respond until I get back to work. It does give me a chance to go over the sugya, though.

Yasher Koach!
