Podcasts about shemini atzeres

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What energy do we draw from these days between Yud Tes Kislev and Chanukah?  What do these holidays have in common?  Why don't we study Torah on nittel eve?  How can refraining from Torah study have a positive impact?  How can a negative turn into a positive?  Why is there a custom to play chess at this time?  What connection does it have with Chanukah?  Why aren't we obligated to read Megilas Antiochus on Chanukah, as we are about reading Megilas Esther on Purim?  Why is it called Megilas Antiochus?  How does Chassidus explain the lessons of Chanukah?  Why do we mark this holiday by lighting candles and not by commemorating the victory in the war with our enemies?  Since the Chanukah menorah represents the rededication of the Temple Menorah, why is it different in so many ways (eight instead of seven candles, kindled in the evening and not the morning, at the door facing outside, not inside the home, lit by every Jew not just the High Priest)?  What does the number eight represent? How does it differ from eleven?  What can we learn from Shammai's opinion to begin lighting all eight candles on the first night?  Why did the High Priest light the Temple menorah?  Who are the seven shepherds and what is their connection to the seven branches of the menorah?  Do we add an eighth shepherd to correspond to the eight branches of the Chanukah menorah?  What is the connection between the eight days of this holiday and the eight days of Sukkos, with Zos Chanukah corresponding to Shemini Atzeres?  Why did the Rebbe wash and farbreng on Zos Chanukah 5738?  Is giving gifts on Chanukah and displaying blow-up Chanukah decorations appropriate?  Help me resolve a disagreement with my spouse: Can I give my children a Chanukah gift before the actual holiday?  Another disagreement: Is snow a blessing or a nuisance?  What are the lessons from emphasizing the victory of light over darkness?  What is the connection with Syria?  Should we be praising G-d for the fall of Assad in Syria and other victories over our enemies?  Is this part of the geulah process?   Is there a prophecy that all our enemies will fall before the redemption?  Nittel Chassidus Applied to Chanukah  What does Chanukah teach us about today's war?

Short inspirational insights into the weekly Torah portion and Jewish festivals.

In honor of the soldiers of the IDF—may Hashem keep them safe and grant them victory. In the merit of the hostages—may Hashem protect them and may they be immediately freed!

The Jewish holidays are not evenly spaced out. They appear in bunches. A mere five days after Yom Kippur comes the seven-day (truthfully nine when you tally everything) Festival of Sukkos (appendaged by Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah). The next Festival (excluding the Rabbinic holidays of Chanukah and Purim) does not occur for six months. What is the connection between Sukkos and the days that precede it? What is the profound message at the heart of this Festival? Why is it the only Festival that is commemorated at a different calendar date than the events it is recalling? In this special Sukkos podcast we explore a powerful and deep element of these days. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This special Sukkos Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui nishmas Gershon Ben Charles, whose Yahrzeit is today.

התוכן מכיון שמפני סיבה מדברים במוצאי שמח"ת, ניתן לנצל הדרכים שעל ידם יכולים גם אלו שבמקומות רחוקים לשמוע אותם דברי תורה, שעי"ז נפעל קשר ואחדות בין כולם ע"י "תורת אחת". ומכיון שבתורה מלובש נותן התורה, הרי האחדות נפעלת ע"י ענין שלמעלה מגדר התחלקות לגמרי. ובפרט שזה בא בהמשך לשמע"צ ושמח"ת שקרבנו "פר אחד". וענין זה צריכים להמשיך גם לאח"ז, באסרו חג וב"כל דרכיך" של כל השנה. ויהי רצון שכאו"א יתברך בשנה טובה ומבורכת, בבני חיי ומזוני ובכולם – רוויחי כפשוטו, בגו"ר, ויתקדמו בעבודה של "ויעקב הלך לדרכו", בשמחה – שפורצת כל הגדרים, גדרי הגלות הפנימי וגם של הגלות כפשוטו, וזוכים בקרוב ממש לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה. כאן המקום לעורר אודות שיעורי חת"ת, "קרן השנה", וע"ד כל ה"מבצעים" ובמיוחד מבצע "אהבת ישראל", וכ"ז יביא את ה"מבצע הגדול" – "ואתם תלוקטו לאחד אחד בית ישראל" ע"י הקב"ה בעצמו ומוביל אותו לא"י וכו'.ב' חלקים משיחת מוצאי שמחת תורה – בחדרו הק' – ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-10-2023 Synopsis Since we're talking on Motza'ei Simchas Torah, we can use means that make it possible for people faraway to hear the same words of Torah, which causes unity among them, through the “One Torah.” Since the Torah enclothes the Giver of the Torah, this unity comes from a level that totally transcends division. And especially coming after Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, whose korban is “one bull, one ram.” And this must be expressed afterwards, too, on Isru Chag, and the entire year “in all your ways.” May it be Hashem's will that everyone be blessed with a good and blessed year, with children, life, and sustenance in abundance, physically and spiritually, and continue with the service of “Yaakov going on his way,” with joy – which breaks all barriers, the barriers of one's personal exile and the barriers of exile in the literal sense, and that we merit very soon the true and complete Redemption. This is the place to encourage Chitas, Keren Hashana, and the mivtzaim, especially Mivtza Ahavas Yisrael, and all of this should lead to the ultimate “Mivtza” – that “you shall be gathered one by one” by Hashem Himself, who will bring every Jew to Eretz Yisrael etc. 2 excerpts from sicha of Motza'ei Simchas Torah, 5738 – in the Rebbe's room For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-10-2023

The Ohr Hachaim points out the greatness of Moshe Rabbeinu in blessing us before his death, even though we helped cause it to happen at this time. We can extend that to appreciate the Love Hashem has for us, as manifested in Hoshana Rabah and Shemini Atzeres. Thanks again as we come to an end of season 3, appreciate your being a listener. Have a Chag Kasher V'sameach.

התוכן כללות הענין ד"מלכתחילה אריבער" [פתגם בעל ההילולא] שייך במיוחד לשנה זו שתחילתה ביום השבת שתוכנו הוא מנוחה ועונג – העדר ענין המלאכה, עד ש"אין עצב בה", עד ש"לוו עלי ואני פורע", עד ש"אין דאגה בה" מכיון ש"כל מלאכתך עשוי'"! והנה כאשר "ראש השנה" חל ביום השבת, ובו קיים את ענין השבת בכל התוקף עד שלא תקע בו שופר! והתנהג באופן של "שבת'דיק", "מלכתחילה אריבער", ה"ז נמשך כך בכל ימי השנה, ש"אין עצה בה" ואין דאגות וכו' אלא "כל מלאכתך עשוי'". וכאשר שואל הרי צ"ל "שש שנים תזרע שדך וגו'"? אומרים לו: עליך ללכת "מלכתחילה אריבער", ואז – "ועמדו זרים ורעו צאנכם וגו'"! ואף שפסוק זה נאמר על הזמן דלעת"ל, הרי ידוע המשל מבעל ההילולא שכאשר מקיימים מצוה עתה – ישנו השכר מיד, אלא שהוא מונח בקופסא חתומה, אבל בעל הרצון ומצווה המצוות מוסר אותה, ביחד עם המפתח, בידי מקיים המצווה! ובמילא אין מקום לדאגה! וכמו שיום הא' דר"ה הי' ביום השבת, עד"ז יום הא' דחה"ס (שבו מתגלים כל הענינים שהיו "בכסה" בר"ה), ועד"ז שמיני עצרת. ונקודת הענין בעבודה: כאשר יהודי, אפי' ילד קטן, לומד תורה או מקיים מצוה ה"ה "שבת'דיק" – הוא מופשט מעניני חול ומרגיש הרגשה נעלית ביותר.א' השיחות דהתוועדות יום ד', אור לי"ג תשרי ה'תשמ"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-09-2023 Synopsis Going milechatchila ariber applies especially to this year, which began on Shabbos, which is about rest and delight, when we refrain from work, to point that there is “no sadness on it,” and Hashem says, “Borrow on My account, and I will repay it,” and moreover, “there is no worry on it,” because “all your work is done.” When Rosh Hashana falls out on Shabbos, and we kept Shabbos fully, the point that we refrained even from blowing shofar, and we acted Shabbosdik in a manner of milechatchila ariber – that continues the entire year: “there is no sadness on it,” and “all your work is done.” And if one asks that seemingly it is necessary to “sow your field for six years” etc. – we tell him: You must go milechatchila ariber, and then – “strangers shall stand and pasture your sheep etc.”! Though this verse refers to the future era – we know the analogy given by the Rebbe Maharash that when we perform a mitzvah now – we have the reward immediately, just that it is locked in a box, but the One Who commands the mitzvah gives the box, along with the key, to the one who performs the mitzvah. Therefore, there is no room for worry! And just like the first day of Rosh Hashanah fell out on Shabbos, so, too, the first day of Sukkos (when everything that was “hidden” on Rosh Hashanah is revealed), and so, too Shemini Atzeres fall out on Shabbos. In terms of Divine service: when a Jew, even a small child, studies Torah or performs a mitzvah, he is “Shabbosdik” – removed from mundane matters, and feels uplifted.One of the sichos from farbrengen of the night of 13 Tishrei 5747 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-09-2023

Won't you stay just a little bit longer?? Tune in for this MUSICAL episode of Rabbi E in 3, as I melodically introduce you to the festival of Shemini Atzeres, the "8th Day of staying back," which takes place at the end of the Sukkot holiday (begins in an hour or two). APOLOGIES TO JACKSON BROWNE, but the very essence of this holiday is about staying in Hashem's presence just a little bit longer...rejoicing with Him and with the Torah (as we complete the yearly cycle of our reading). Chag Sameach!

Shemini Atzeres-Simchas Torah 5783 - moonLight of Emuna - R' Dov Elias by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Chag Sameach to all!

We sit in the sukkah to commemorate the clouds that Hashem protected us with when we left Egypt. What does the High Holiday season have to do with clouds? Water, representing our physicality, evaporates in the sunlight of spirituality until it becomes a refined mist. Then we start the cycle all over again on a higher level with the Prayer for Rain on Shemini Atzeres. (Based on 4th Night of Sukkos 5750 in Hisva'aduyos 5750 vol. 1 pp. 163-4.)

This is the final episode in our 3-part Tishrei series with Chana Hirschowitz. In this episode, Chana introduces a maamar from Likutei Torah on Shemini Atzeres. It paints the paradox of our human experience and leads us to a deeper understanding of our true nature. We explore how what seems to be two opposing forces work together to choreograph a beautiful dance. The combination of working on ourselves with a real acceptance of who we are is what achieves a dynamic relationship with G-d. Join Chana as she journeys to the culmination of the ideas we have been exploring throughout Tishrei to understand how the seesaw of being human is what allows us to be our best selves.

This evening (9/7/22), in our inaugural Tehilim/Tefilah shiur of the season, we began our analysis of Tehilim 27, which is customarily recited between Rosh Chodesh Elul and Shemini Atzeres. We spent the first half of the shiur translating the perek, noting many of the nuances and ambiguities, and spent the second half raising questions, making observations, and suggesting approaches. The participants in the shiur voted to wait until next week to make our "big move" which will unlock the perek, which means that we have a week to think about it before we continue (and, hopefully, complete) our analysis.-----מקורות:תהלים כזRobert Alter, The Book of Psalms: a Translation with Commentaryרש"י - תהלים כז:דראב"ע - תהלים כז:זThe Torah content for the first two weeks of yeshiva has been sponsored by Avital H.

For Chassidim in Dor Hashvi'i, Rosh Chodesh Kislev is one of the most joyous days on the calendar. The distress of Shemini Atzeres 5738, and the double-fold simcha of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, are memories that are etched into the hearts of every Chossid that experienced them. This day has since been established as a full-fledged Yom Tov, replete with a seudas hoda'a and farbrengens late into the night. The full sequence of events would be able to fill an entire book; here we have chosen to focus primarily on the events of Simchas Torah, Rosh Chodesh Kislev, Yud-Tes Kislev, and Zos Chanukah.

In this episode, we tip our hats to all of the Welcome Mats of the world, who despite getting dirty time and time again, always are there to welcome us into the home.

The incredible holiday season, beginning with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, continuing to Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, and then Sukkos, finally comes to a climax with the holiday of Shemini Atzeres. And while all the other holidays have unique commandments associated with them (shofar, fasting, lulav and esrog, sitting in a sukkah etc.) there are no special commandments for this final day. Why is that? Why doesn't Shemini Atzeres have any unique mitzvahs? In this episode, we take a whole new look at the entire holiday season, uncovering a deep storyline running through all the holidays and coming to a climax on Shemini Atzeres! The story of the holiday season is in a certain sense a story of the world: beginning with the creation of Adam, his sin and judgement and continuing with the search for Adam in the world until he is found and his mission reaccepted.

38.4 - Sukkah Daf 48 A (Middle) Today's learning is sponsored In Memory of Reb Yitzchok Shalom ben Reb Shaul Rosenblum A”H Sponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click here https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/ODUwOTU= Summary Mishna: When one is done eating in the sukkah on the seventh day, he shouldn't dismantle his sukkah. From mincha time on, he should bring his things down (the sukkah was always on the roof) in honor of the Yom Tov of Shemini Atzeres. Gemara: Question: What if he doesn't have anything to bring down? Challenge: How did he eat there for seven days if he doesn't have anything there? Resolution: The question was: What if he doesn't have a home to bring things into [and staying in the sukkah in Eretz Yisroel may be a problem of Bal Tosif]? Rabbi Chiya bar Ashi: He can break open 4x4 tefachim of schach*. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: He can light a lamp there. These two opinions are in agreement with each other, only that Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi is in Eretz Yisroel where the sukkah is no longer needed and Rabbi Chiya bar Ashi is in Bavel. Challenge: A lamp in the sukkah signifies that one no longer cares for the sukkah in a small sukkah, but in a large sukkah where one is not afraid that it will burn down, one can bring in a lamp even on Yom Tov? Resolution: In a large sukkah he can bring the pots and pans into the sukkah as taught by Rava (24.1): Drinking vessels may remain in the sukkah but eating vessels should remain outside of the sukkah. _________ * Rashash: Although airspace of 3 tefachim invalidates the sukkah, here this person might cover the hole with something, thus the hole must be 4 tefachim.

Is it recited or not? Rav Nachman: It is recited. Rav Sheshes: It is not recited. The Halacha: It is recited. A beraisa supporting Rav Nachman: Shemini Atzeres is its own Yom Tov with regard to the halachos alluded to by the acronym Pazer Keshev: It has its own Payes (Sukkos has many korbanos and it follows a certain order, but Shemini Atzeres only has one Korban), Zman (The bracha of shehechyanu), it is its own Regel (With regard to: either the mitzvah of Sukkah, which is no longer practiced. Or, mentioning it by name in Tefillah and Brachos), it is unique in Korban, it is unique in Shirah (37.6) and it is unique in Bracha (With regard to: mentioning it by name in Tefillah and Brachos. Or, the bracha upon the Melech). Mishna: All eight days of Sukkos are equally obligated in Hallel (Hallel in the gemara never refers to half hallel, which is only a minhag discovered by Rav in part of Bavel) and Simcha (to partake in meat of the Shlamim). One is obligated in Hallel, Simcha and Kavod of the last day, just like all the previous days. Gemara: Question: What is the source for the law of Simcha on Shemini Atzeres? Beraisa: “[You shall rejoice for seven days] and you shall only be joyful” - This [repetition] teaches that the night of Shemini Atzeres (which follows Yom Tov immediately, it surely includes the day of Shemini Atzeres as well) is included in the obligation of Simcha. Perhaps it comes to include the first night of Yom Tov (that one must bring a shlamim on erev Yom Tov so as to have meat on the first night of Yom Tov)? But the possuk precludes that by the word “only”. Why should we omit the first night but include the last night? We omit the first night because it would mean bringing a korban before Yom Tov but we include the last night because it is preceded by Yom Tov.

Summary A Proof: “The Parim Eilim and Kvasim all constitute sets, if one of them is missing the entire category of Korban cannot be brought. Rabbi Yehuda: The Parim do not constitute a set since their number is not constant and diminishes each day. They said to him: The Eilim and Kvasim also diminish on Shemini Atzeres! Rabbi Yehuda: Shemini is a separate Yom Tov. Just as the seven days of Sukkos require Korban [according to a certain order], Shir [the shir on sukkos discussed helping the poor], Bracha [it seems it requires a shehechyanu], and Linah [anyone who brings a korban must sleep over in Yerushalayim that night], so too, Shemini Atzeres requires Korban, Shir, Bracha and Linah” So it seems that Shemini Atzeres requires a Shehechyanu. Response: No, it is referring to Birkas Hamazon and Tefillah.

A proof was attempted from the beraisa “Rabbi Yehuda: Shemini Atzeres requires Korban, Shir, Bracha and Linah”. It would seem that “Bracha” means Shehechyanu. The gemara rejects this and says instead that it is referring to Birkas Hamazon and Tefillah. Summary It would seem so: Because if it means shehechyanu, how do you explain the beginning of the beraisa “All seven days of Sukkos require Bracha”, only the first day requires a shehechyanu? Response: It could mean that if someone missed the shehechyanu, he can make up for it all week. Challenge: But the shehechyanu has to be made as part of kiddush, which is only possible on the first night? Suggestion: Perhaps this is a proof to Rabbi Nachman. Rabbi Nachman: The shehechyanu blessing can be recited even on the street [without wine]. Response: It is not necessarily a proof, perhaps the Chachomim of the beraisa are discussing a case where he has wine. Challenge: Does Rabbi Yehuda hold that Shemini requires Linah? Beraisa: Rabbi Yehuda: Pesach Sheini does not require Linah because it states “In the morning [after Linah] you shall return to your homes, for six days you shall eat Matzoh” so we see that only what requires six days requires Linah. So it seems that in addition to excluding Pesach Sheini, he excludes Shemini Atzeres as well (it would seem to exclude Shavuos as well). Resolution: It excludes only Pesach Sheini.

Rabbi Levi bar Chama some say Rabbi Chama bar Chanina: You can know that this is so because Shemini Atzeres is different from the rest of Sukkos in three ways: Sukkah, Lulav and Nisuch Hamayim. These mitzvos are not done on Shemini Atzeres. And according to Rabbi Yehuda that a lug was poured on all days (according to the Tanna Kamma 3 lug were poured on the first seven days only) including Shemini Atzeres, it is different in two ways. Challenge: If so, a shehechyanu should be recited on Shvi'i Shel Pesach too, since it is different in the matter of Matzah, as we learned “On the first night there is an obligation to eat matzah even if one is not hungry, for the rest of Yom Tov there's no obligation”. Resolution: What's the comparison? Shvi'i Shel Pesach is only different from the beginning of Yom Tov at night but its day is not different from the preceding days. Shemini Atzeres is different from all days of Sukkos. (The following Amoraim are not arguing, they're all adding). Ravina: Shemini Atzeres is different from the day before, Shvi'i Shel Pesach is only different from the beginning of Yom Tov. Rav Papa: On Shemini Atzeres only a single Par is brought as opposed to the prior days where multiple Parim are brought. Rav Nachman bar Yitzchok: With regard to Shemini Atzeres the possuk begins “On the eighth day”, but with regard to all other days the possuk begins “ And on the ___ day” Rav Ashi: With regard to Shemini Atzeres the possuk says “According to its procedure”, but with regard to the seventh day the possuk says “According to their procedure”, to sum up all the prior days.

The sukkah is forbidden even on Shemini Atzeres. Reish Lakish: The esrog is permissible even on Hoshana Rabbah. Reish Lakish holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rabbi Yochanan holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. Summary Rabbi Zeira: One shouldn't give his arba minim to a child on the first day of Yom Tov [before the father was yotzei]. The reason for this is since a child can acquire but cannot give away, the father will thus be taking arba minim that belong to the child. Rabbi Zeira: One should never tell a child that he will give him something and then fail to follow through because he is training him that it's okay to lie, as the possuk states “They trained themselves to lie”. We Learned: If one set aside seven esrogim , one for each day of Yom Tov. Rav Asi [following the girsa of the Bach]: He can eat it immediately after doing the mitzvah each day (following the opinion of Reish Lakish). Rav: Each esrog can be eaten on the day after it was used for the mitzvah (following the opinion of Rabbi Yochanan). Rav Asi holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rav holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. In Chutz La'aretz: Abayye: It is forbidden on Shemini Atzeres as well because it is a safek shevi'i. Mereimar: It is permissible on Shemini Atzeres even for us in Chutz La'aretz. In Sura they followed Mereimar. Rav Shisha brei d'Rav Idi followed Abayye. The halacha follows Abayye.

Summary We begin now the sugya of muktzah machmas mitzvah: If something is set aside for a mitzvah, it may not be handled for any other purpose. Rabbi Yochanan: An esrog is muktzeh all day on Hoshana Rabbah (although it's technically a weekday, there is still a “muktzeh”), but may be handled on Shemini Atzeres. The sukkah is forbidden even on Shemni Atzeres (this is because the sukkah is used all day, including the time of bein hashmashos which may already be the beginning of Shemini Atzeres). Reish Lakish: The esrog is permissible even on Hoshana Rabbah. Their argument is as follows: Reish Lakish holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rabbi Yochanan holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. Reish Lakish challenged Rabbi Yochanan from the mishna (35.6): “They would snatch the lulavim from the hands of the children and eat their esrogim”. So it seems that anyone can eat esrogim on Hoshana Rabbah because they are no longer muktzeh? Response: The mishna is discussing children specifically (either that their esrogim can be eaten since their mitzvah is not really a mitzvah, or that they can eat the esrogim). Some say: Rabbi Yochanan challenged Reish Lakish from the mishna (35.6): “They would snatch the lulavim from the hands of the children and eat their esrogim”. So it seems that only children can eat esrogim on Hoshana Rabbah but for adults, they're muktzeh? Response: The mishna does not intend to specify children, it is merely recording the custom of the children.

Did you ever wonder why the holiday of Shavuos doesn't have any special mitzvah for the masses to do on it? On Pesach we eat matzah, on Sukkos we sit in the sukkah and shake the lulav and esrog, yet on shavuos there's only customs, no biblical commandment for us? Why is that? Join me as we take a deeper look at Shavuos and discover its deep connection to another holiday, the holiday of Shemini Atzeres. Once we uncover the the hidden meaning of "Atzeres" we'll discover a whole new perspective on the holiday of Shavuos! Happy Listening!

Today's learning sponsored In honor of Ami Morgenstern, MAZEL TOV!! Sponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click here https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/ODUwOTU= Rabbi Eliezer: If one didn't eat a meal in the sukkah, he can make it up Shemini Atzeres. Summary Challenge: How can he make it up? With bread? So he's eating the Shemini Atzeres meal. Resolution: He makes it up by eating delicacies, [meats, stuffed vegetables and other delicacies]. (Tosfos learns from this that the 14 meals of Rabbi Eliezer need not be full meals with bread). (Even according to the opinion that one must eat bread on yom tov, but not chol hamoed and if you omit yaaleh v'yavo you need not repeat birkas hamazon.) We also learned a beraisa to this effect: One who missed a yom tov meal can make it up on Shemini Atzeres by eating a delicacy (meat or fish; something that is not a mere nosh). The administrator of King Agripa asked Rabbi Eliezer: It is my custom to eat only one meal a day. Is that enough for me on sukkos too? Rabbi Eliezer: Every day you add many dishes as appetizers (a rich man eats after his meals to incite him to eat more). Can't you add one dish in honor of your creator? He asked another question: Someone like me who has two wives; one in Tveria and one in Tzipori, am I permitted to have two sukkos in those two cities? Rabbi Eliezer: No. If one leaves from one sukkah to the other, his mitzvah goes lost. Beraisa: Rabbi Eliezer: One cannot move between two sukkos (because a sukkah must be built for all 7 days) and one cannot build a sukkah on Chol Hamoed (for the same reason). Chachomim: It is kosher even if it was created in middle of Yom Tov Even Rabbi Eliezer agrees that one can rebuild a collapsed sukkah on Chol Hamoed. Question: What is Rabbi Eliezer's reasoning? Response: It states “Build a sukkah for seven days”: it must be a sukkah that stands seven days. (The Chachomim agree with this understanding of the verse regarding schach. Accordingly, leaves that would wither in less than 7 days are not kosher for schach). Chachomim: It means that the mitzvah lasts seven days but not the sukkah. Everyone agrees that it can be rebuilt. Challenge: Isn't that obvious? Resolution: The beraisa is teaching that it's not considered a new building but a continuation of the original sukkah. Tosfos: This applies only if it is rebuilt with the same materials.

Mishna: Rabbi Eliezer: One is obligated to eat 14 meals in the sukkah, mornings and nights for 7 days. Chachomim: He doesn't have to eat any meals at all except for the first night of sukkos. Rabbi Eliezer: If one didn't eat on the first day (text amended as per Maharsha), he can make it up [Shemini Atzeres]. Chachomim: The first meal is obligatory and cannot be made up. This is one of the things meant by the verse “When something is twisted crooked, you can never straighten it out. Something that's missing can never be filled in again”. (While you can do teshuva for doing a sin you can never gain a mitzvah that you skipped). Gemara: Question: What is Rabbi Eliezer's reasoning? Response: It states “You should live in the sukkah” [Teishvu k'ein taduru (21.2)]. All things you would do in your dwelling place [including eating 14 meals over 7 days], you must do in the sukkah. Question: How do the Chachomim explain this verse? Response: Just as one is not compelled to eat meals in his house, he can skip meals in the sukkah. Challenge: Then the first night shouldn't be obligatory either? Rabbi Yochanan from Rabbi Shimon bar Yehotzadak: Regarding Sukkos it states “The fifteenth”, and regarding eating Matzoh it states “The fifteenth”. Just as there, the first night is an obligation and then it's optional for the remainder of Yom Tov, so too here*, the first night a meal is obligatory, and afterwards it is optional**. Question: How do we know that eating matzoh the first night of Pesach is obligatory? Response: The possuk states “On that night you must eat matzoh”, the verse imposes it as an obligation. Rabbi Eliezer: If one didn't eat on the first day, he can make it up Shemini Atzeres. Challenge: But Rabbi Eliezer holds that one must eat meals in the sukkah on all 7 days? [And on the eighth day he can no longer eat in the sukkah (in Eretz Yisroel, we do eat in the sukkah), so when can he make up for what he missed]? Rabbi Ami: Rabbi Eliezer retracted. (His opinion is that only the first night's meal must be in the sukkah. On all other days he must eat a meal, but it is not related to the law of sukkah. It is only these 13 meals that can be made up on Shemini Atzeres [Tosfos]). Click here to listen to the shiur with Tosfos https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RaOnrRZoD9_qrOK88iGSxF9fOQ7SlmIx/view?usp=sharing _________ * Tosfos quotes from the Yerushalmi a different method of deriving these laws from the pesukim. Additionally the Yerushalmi adds that eating in the sukkah should be similar to Pesach in two aspects. 1. One must build up an appetite for the meal in the sukkah. 2. He must eat at least a kezayis of one of the five grains. * *Tosfos : It seems from here that the obligation of a meal Yom Tov is only for the first night of Yom Tov. Thus, if one omits yaaleh v'yavo he need not repeat birkas hamazon. But the Poskim don't accept this opinion of Tosfos.
