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?

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:

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=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

Major Question:

The gemara inquires whether an אמלתרא would help a Korah be a valid Tikun for a Mavui whose opening is wider than 10 Amos. The Gemara (3a) said the benefit of an אמלתרא is that it attracts attention and makes the Korah noticable therefore a Korah with an אמלתרא can be placed higher than 20 Amos. An opening wider than 10 Amos is considered a Pirtzah. How could an אמלתרא help for an opening wider than 10 Amos as the issue is entirely different?

Question:

Quickly review the גמרא דף י: “אי נמי until “וליחוש”

The Gemara introduces four concepts

1. פרוץ מרובה על העומד

2. עומד מרובה משני רוחות 

3. פרוץ כעומד

4. אתי אוירא .. ומבטלה 

According to the opinion that עומד מרובה משני רוחות  is considered עומד מרובה does it have exactly the same status of עומד מרובה or is it a lower tier?

The gemara says it’s possible that פרוץ כעומד is good yet we still would say אתי אוירא מהאי גיסא ואוירא מהאי גיסא ומבטלה. If פרוץ  is indeed כעומד why should it be any different than when the Amud is larger than the adjacent gap of air in which we do not say אתי אוירא ומבטלה?

On דף ה עמוד ב we discussed a ח’ גרי”ז בכורות דף יז who brings a proof from רמב”ם to the same principle of the רש”ש.

Is there a benefit with any of these options more than the solution that Rav Yehuda presented?

Distancing oneself from צואת קטן:

Questions:

At what stage does the צואת קטן have the status of צואה; when the infants that age start to eat foods from the five grains or when this child personally starts to eat them?

If a child started to eat food from the five grains but them stopped for a long period of time would his צואה lose the status of צואה?
