Question:
What is the reason it is prohibited to smell the haddasim?

1. Special drasha that the Daled minim are consecrated to Hashem
2. They are designated for a mitzvah.

Clarify the two explanations of Tosfos as to when there is a drasha from the Torah prohibiting the use of schach and when we need the takana drabanan of muktza.

Questions:

How does Rashi extrapolate the prohibition of smelling the haddasim from schach which has a special drasha?
If the source for the prohibition is the drasha then why is it permitted to smell an Esrog?

According to Rabbah would one be inquired to inspect that there are no detached leaves stuck between his lulav and haddas ?

which discusses what Haftarah is read on Shabbos Chanukah when it coincides with Rosh Chodesh. Tosfos quotes the Rashba that the Haftarah of Chanukah is read as פרסומי ניסא is greater then reason of תדיר as is the conclusion of Rava in the gemara Shabbos. However for the krias hatorah the reading of the parsha of Rosh Chodesh comes first before krias hatorah of Chanukah as both kriah’s will be read and it’s just a question of which one is read first then we say תדיר קודם.
