We discussed how the Ran answered the following questions
Questions:
1. Why are Daled Minim לא חזי בין השמשות?
Ran – one would not shake the Daled Minim during Bein Hashmashos between the seventh and eighth day of Sukkos as starting from day two they are a Mitzvah Drabanan and the rule is ספק דרבנן לקולא
2. Why according to ר’ יוחנן are Daled Minim Muktzah the entire seventh day?
Ran – The mind frame of a person is to designate them for the entire seventh day as the mitzvah can be performed any time of the day.
3. Does the Muktzah status of the Daled Minim of the seventh day extend into Bein Hashmashos? Why or why not?
Ran – no as one would not take the Daled Minim during Bein Hashmashos as explained above.
