Learn the Gemara “דף מד. “א”ל אביי (seven lines from the top of the Amud) until אלא אמר רב זביד

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?

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 not?

Major Question:

In the Sugya of כיפה  in the case of a doorframe which is an arched on top. The gemara says if the side posts are ten tefachim tall everyone agrees it’s considered a צורת הפתח.  Rashi says this is a proof that the side posts do not need to extend to touch the top cross beam. 

How could this be considered a צורת הפתח  through גוד אסיק , there is solid material separating the top of the side posts and the cross beam? 

See אבני נזר או”ח ס’ רס”ד which asks the rule of גוד אסיק is universal,  why does רב ששת say צריכים ליגע?

Conclusion of סוגיא צורת הפתח – כיפה  – arch

Question: 

Why is an arched door frame which starts to arch from the bottom of the side posts not obligated in mezuzah?

Is it only when lacking width of 4 tefachim with a minimum height of 3 tefachim or is it because a door frame needs to have straight side posts and a flat lintel?

Is a doorframe which is wider than four tefachim that begins to arch from bottom of the side posts considered a צורת הפתח ?

What’s the major concern even if hoshana Rabbah is really the sixth day of Sukkos there is no issue with taking the Aravah as the Gemara said in essence one should be permitted to take Aravah every day of Sukkos to publicize that it’s a mitzvah from the Torah just we don’t to prevent people from treating the mitzvah of Lulav lightly?

Very quickly review גמרא דף מג: “ערבה שבעה כיצד (two dots) until איתיביה אביי (middle of the Amud) 

Write or chart each question and answer of the Gemara.

Learn ריטב”א on the entire Gemara who addresses many of the questions below 

https://www.sefaria.org/Ritva_on_Sukkah.43b.1?lang=bi

The Gemara says Aravah is permitted to be taken on Shabbos when it coincides with Hoshana Rabbah because שלוחי בית דין מייתי לה 

List 

1. The argument between the ריטב”א “ומהדרינן and מהרש”א whether this a retraction from the first reason of לפרסום שהיא מן התורה

2. The argument between תוספת מג: “שלוחי and the ריטב”א as to why the Gemara assumes that post Churban Beis Hamikdash there should be no concern of גזירה דרבה when taking the Aravah on Hoshana Rabbah when it coincides Shabbos.

3. The explanation from Rashi and an alternate explanation from the ריטב”א “אי הכי כל  of “אתי לפקפוקי בלולב” 

Questions:

According to the opinion that taking Aravah post churban is just a minhag and not even a mitzvah from the Rabanan why would one have permission to handle the Aravos on Shabbos as they are muktzah?

See ריטב”א “ופרכינן אי הכי for an answer.

The Gemara answers “Because we are not experts to calculate the precise day of Yom Tov that’s why we can’t take aravos on Hoshana Rabbah that coincides with Shabbos.”

What’s the major concern even if hoshana Rabbah is really the sixth day of Sukkos there is no issue with taking the Aravah as the Gemara said in essence one should be permitted to take Aravah every day of Sukkos to publicize that it’s a mitzvah from the Torah just we don’t to prevent people from treating the mitzvah of Lulav lightly?
