Question:
How could ר’ אבהו answer the contradiction of whether Aravah is a יסוד נביאים or הלכה למשה מסיני when the Gemara Temura clearly says one can not ask through prophecy to be taught forgotten halachos?

According to Rashi the נביאים set up the taking of Aravos outside the Beis Hamikdash.
Was this for all seven days of Sukkos or just the last day – Hoshana Rabbah?
Major Question:
The Gemara on מד says that the taking of Aravos on Hoshana Rabbah is זכר למקדש.
But the gemara now says it was a either a יסוד and מנהג נביאים?

The Gemara presents three answers as to why Aravos (Hoshanos) are only taken one day זכר למקדש even though in the Beis Hamikdash aravos were taken all seven days of Sukkos.
Questions:
In the first proposed answer does Rava believe that indeed there is a Mitzvah to take aravos all seven days of Sukkos זכר למקדש?
In the final answer of the Gemara why does the fact that there is no Mitzvah from the Torah to take aravos outside of the Beis Hamikdash affect the decision of instituting a mitzvah of Aravah all seven days זכר למקדש as was done in the Beis Hamikdash?

Questions:
Why does there need to be a uniform practice both in chutz laaretz and Eretz Yisrael?
Learn “רש”י דף מד. “לדידהו who explains because the prohibition of לא תתגודדו – having groups performing mitzvos differently as it gives the appearance of two religions.
The גמרא יבמות דף יג:-יד states that לא תתגודדו is only an issue according to אביי when there are different practices in one city and according to רבא even in one city it is acceptable if there are two different ruling courts (שתי בתי דין) which explains how on Purim there are different days for reading the Megillah (see תוספת שם “כי & רא”ש ס’ ט)
So how could Rashi say there is an issue of לא תתגודדו to have chutz laaretz have different practice than Eretz Yisrael when they are two different regions?
Major Questions:
According to the Gemara, only after the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash did they institute a universal rule regarding taking Hoshanos on Hashanah Rabbah that coincides with Shabbos.
During the time of the Beis Hamikdash why was this not an issue of לא תתגודדו?
What changed after the destruction of the beis hamikdash that created an issue of people in chutz laaretz doing things differently than the Jews in Eretz Yisrael?
Why isn’t the keeping of a second day of Yom tov in chutz laaretz an issue of לא תתגודדו?
