|
SUKA 36-56 (End of Maseches) have been dedicated by the wife and daughters
of the late Dr. Simcha Bekelnitzky (Simcha Gedalya ben Shraga Feibush) of
Queens N.Y. Well known in the community for his Chesed and Tzedakah, he will
long be remembered.

1)
(a) According to the Tana of the Beraisa, when does one recite
'Shehechiyanu' over ...
- ... the Lulav?
- ... the Sukah?
(b) And how often does one recite the Berachah ...
- ... over the Lulav?
- ... over the Sukah?
(c) This Beraisa goes perfectly with Shmuel's opinion.
But how will Rabah
bar bar Chanah (whose opinion is the exact opposite of Shmuel's) reconcile
the Beraisa's opinion of ...
- ... Lulav ...
- ... Sukah ... with his own?
2)

Tefilin.
What do the Chachamim say?
(b) How will the same Machlokes apply to Sukah?

What does *Rava* say initially?
(d) How did Rava go on to disregard his own ruling?
3)
(a) Mar Zutra saw Rav Papi recite a Berachah whenever he put on Tefilin.
What did he see the Rabbanan of Bei Rav Ashi do?
(b) According to Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel, the Mitzvah of Lulav is d'Oraysa
all seven days; according to Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi, only the *first* day
is d'Oraysa (outside the Beis Hamikdash).
What does Rav Yitzchak hold?
(c) From where do we know that Rav will obligate a Berachah throughout
Sukos, despite the fact that the last six days are only mi'de'Rabbanan (like
Ravin Amar Rebbi Yochanan)?
(d) When, on the first night of Chanukah, would one recite only *two*
Berachos and not *three*?
4)
What are the two possible sources for reciting a Berachah over a Mitzvah
de'Rabbanan, even though the text contains the word 've'Tzivanu'?
5)

Sukah.
When does one recite 'Shehechiyanu', according to the Tana of
another Beraisa, if the Sukah has already been built?
(b) And what does one do if there is nothing to add to the Sukah?
(c) What did Rav Ashi see Rav Kahana do?
6)
(a) According to the Tana Kama, someone who is about to perform a number of
Mitzvos, recites 'Asher Kideshanu ... al ha'Mitzvos'.
What is the text of
the Berachah, according to Rebbi Yehudah?
(b) How does Rebbi Yehudah learn this from the Pasuk in Tehilim "Baruch
Hashem Yom Yom"?
(c) Why can we not interpret this Pasuk literally?
(d) Like whom does Rebbi Zeira (and some say Rav Chanina bar Papa) rule?

say, and what is his reason?
