Rosh Hashanah 3

ROSH HASHANAH 2-10 sponsored by a generous grant from an anonymous donor. Kollel Iyun Hadaf is indebted to him for his encouragement and support and prays that Hashem will repay him in kind.

1) [line 5] AL TIKRI VA'YIR'U ELA V'YERA'U - do not read it "va'Yir'u" - (they saw); rather read it "va'Yera'u" (they were seen)

b) [line] DILMA - perhaps
c) [line] ELA - rather
d) [line] D'HA - because
3) [line 9] SAYACH - foal, young donkey or horse
4) [line 11] AROD - a wild desert donkey
*5*) [line 31] TANYA KAVASEI D'REBBI YOCHANAN - that is, the Beraisa *also* supports the opinion of Rebbi Yochanan, as well as that of Rebbi Elazar (TOSFOS DH Tanya; Tosfos explains why the Beraisa needed to bring both sets of verses and Rebbi Elazar's verse alone did not suffice)
