Questions:
Why does רב יוסף say when the קורה is higher than 20 Amos you only need a build up of ground of a tefach underneath, but if the קורה is below 10 tefachim one needs to excavate an amount of four tefachim inside the mavui?
See “רש”י “רב יוסף
According to Rashi is the קורה acting as a מחיצה?
Is the case of the gemara that the קורה is placed within 10 tefachim of the ground or the walls of the entire מבוי are less than 10 tefachim?

Review רמב״ם הלכות לולב פרק ז הלכה ט-י
The הגהות מיימונית אות ס quotes רבינו שמחה who says it is cleared from the Mishna and Gemara that the Daled Minim are only shaken during Hallel
https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=58958&st=&pgnum=286&hilite=
Questions:
How does the Rambam and רבינו שמחה explain the three gemara’s that Tosfos and the Ran brought as a proof that the Lulav is shaken during the initial taking?
What is the point of disagreement between the Rambam and Tosfos/ Ran/ Rosh/ Meiri ?
Based on the above Rambam the Brisker Rav would be careful to use the same Daled Minim that he shook when he made the bracha to hold and shake during Hallel.
See how the Shulchan Aruch Mentions when is the time of the main Mitzvah of Daled Minim – See שולחן ערוך ס’ תרנ”ב סעיף א “ועיקר מצותו בשעת ההלל

Thank you Bruce Goldberg for sending in your summary of the Sugya.
Please write a summary of the Sugya of נענועים of the Daled Minim.
Include the following points.
- During which pesukim of Hallel are the Daled Minim shaken. (Mishna, Tosfos “בהודו” and Ran)
- Must one shake the Daled Minim when he first recites the bracha on the lulav before Hallel. (the opinions and reasoning of תוספת “בהודו, Ran, Rosh, Meiri and Rambam)

Focus on the second – fourth explanation
Explanation #2
According to which reason does the requirement to have 4 tefachim line up with – קורה משום היכר or קורה משום מחיצה?
Learn Rashi very carefully.
Questions:
Why does Rashi assume that the outer face of the קורה descends according to the opinion of קורה משום מחיצה?
Why is a build up of a tefach underneath the קורה insufficient? Once the height is reduced between the קורה and the ground the Mechitzah should descend and service the entire mavui?
Learn second half of תוס’ דף ד:-ה “מותר starting from “ואין להקשות”
Tosfos asks a major question:
According to the second explanation everyone agrees it is מותר להשתמש תחת הקורה and a build up of four tefachim is required because קורה משום מחיצה. This contradicts the premise of the first explanation of the Gemara (according to Tosfos) that everyone agrees קורה משום מחיצה and if its מותר להשתמש תחת הקורה only a one tefach build up is required?
Learn תוספות רבינו פרץ who explains Tosfos answer.
See גאון יעקב ד: “לימא בהאי קמיפלגי who explains the point of argument between the first and second explanation according to Tosfos. See the end of the paragraph and how he gives a different explanation of the position of Rashi in the first explanation of the Gemara and how he addresses the following questions we asked yesterday
According to the first explanation does Abaye and Rav Yosef hold קורה משום היכר or קורה משום מחיצה?
Rashi (רש”י דף ד: “מותר) discusses the need to see the קורה so why does Rashi need to add that we view the edge of the קורה as descending and creating a closure. It seems that Rashi is requiring both the element of היכר and מחיצה?
