Topic: Bracha of Shechiyanu on Shemini Atzeres
Questions:
Why didn’t the gemara also list that the Aravah is not taken on Shemini Atzeres?
The Gemara asks why don’t we recite the bracha of Shechiyanu on the Yom tov of Seventh day of Pesach as it is different from the first day of Pesach in regards to the requirement to eat matzah.
Based on the above difference Shechiyanu should be said on the first day of chol hamoed?
Is there a difference between the multiple explanations of the Amoraim as to why Shechiyanu is recited on Shemini Atzeres but not on the seventh day of Pesach?
