Very quickly review the “גמרא דף מב: “אמר רבה” until דף מג. “דאיתיה בגבולין (fifteen lines from top of the Amud) 

Topic: גזירה דרבה שלא ליטול לולב בשבת

Quickly review “תוספת “אינהו who asks 

Why is there a difference in the gezeira between Lulav and Shofar?

What’s the explanation for the incongruity of the gezeira on the Mitzvah of shofar during the time of Beis Hamikdash to the gezeira after the churban?

Question:

Why didn’t the Rabanan make a gezeira not to perform a Bris Milah on Shabbos to prevent someone from carrying the milah knife to consult with an expert? 

Why didn’t the Rabanan make a gezeira not to blow shofar at the end of Yom Kippur?

Question on Tosfos:

Tosfos asks that the mitzvah of Daled Minim should be allowed inside ones home whichever day of Sukkos coincides with Shabbos. The gemara is discussing the time period of the beis hamikdash which only had a Mitzvah in the Beis Hamikdash. How could Tosfos suugest to perform the mitzvah of Daled Minim in one’s home on any of the seven days?

Why is there a difference in the gezeira between Lulav and Shofar?

What’s the explanation for the incongruity of the gezeira on the Mitzvah of shofar during the time of Beis Hamikdash to the gezeira after the churban?

In Conclusion:

Why is the Mitzvah of Daled Minim not performed on the first day of Sukkos which coincides with Shabbos? 

Is it because gezeira to prevent one from carrying on Shabbos, or because of the uncertainty whether the first day of Sukkos is the fifteenth or fourteenth of Tishrei?

Question:

What benefit would there be to limiting the Daled Minim for any of the seven days of Sukkos which coincide with Shabbos to ones home? As the Gemara is discussing the time period of the beis hamikdash which only had a Mitzvah in the Beis Hamikdash for all seven days?

Quickly review the גמרא דף מב עמוד ב from after the Mishna until “אמר רבה”

Question:

Is an article that it’s functionality is exclusively for the purpose of a mitzvah (for example – lulav) considered muktzah?

We learnt “תוספת “טלטול that although it’s function is for a mitzvah since the item is not essentially a kli it is muktzah therefore Daled Minim are muktzeh on Shabbos.

We learnt a machlokes between the Rema and the Taz as to what category of muktzah is a Lulav on Shabbos of Sukkos

(See שולחן ערוך ורמ”א אורח חיים ס’ תרנ”ח סעיף ב and ט”ז ס”ק ג and משנה ברורה ס”ק ד and שער הציון אות ג)

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14327&st=&pgnum=402

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=262

Rema – Muktzeh like a rock – מוקצה מחמת גופו

Taz – equates Lulav to a Shofar which has status of a כלי שמלאכתו לאיסור which is permitted to be moved לצורך גופו ומקומו

For shofar see שולחן ערוך אורח חיים ס’ תקפ”ח סעיף ה and משנה ברורה

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=264

And שולחן ערוך אורח חיים ס’ תקצ”ו and משנה ברורה ס”ק ג

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=140

Based on Tosfos are Tefillin on Shabbos considered muktzah?

See בית יוסף beginning of אורח חיים ס’ ש”ח

How does the Beis Yosef align with what Tosfos says?
