Clarify the different opinions the gemara lists in regards to carrying underneath the Korah and carrying between the Lechi.

Question:

What is the reason of אביי why בין לחיים אסור? 

See תוס’ דף ח: “הכל 

Is the reason Tosfos presents the same as our gemara presents? 

Conclusion of Sugya: חבוט ולבוד

Very quickly review the גמרא דף ט. “רב אשי אמר (nine lines from top of the Amud) until “תני ר’ זכאי (fourteen lines from top of the Amud)  

The ר”ן סוכה דף ט. דפי הריף (few lines before דברי המתחיל “איתמר) says we can not combine the two halachick concepts of דופן עקומה and לבוד.

Major Question:

According to the Ran how can we combine Lavud and Chavut in our case of the Gemara?

(Extra- see שו”ת רע”א ח”א ס’ יב who answers this question)

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1161&pgnum=20

The Ritva & Rashba clearly established the case of our gemara is where the diagonal line from the wall of the Mavui to the Korah is three tefachim or more. 

Is there a possible explanation as to why both concepts of חבוט and לבוד are needed to connect the Korah to the walls of the Mavui even when the diagonal is less than three?

Learn ח’ ר’ חיים ה’ סוכה פרק ה הלכה כא (attached in this email – starting from paragraph on bottom of right column) 

Note how Reb Chaim explains

1) Why Chavut and Lavud is needed even though the diagnol line between the Korah and the walls of the Mavui is less then three?

2) A new answer to question of Tosfos as to why the Korah can not be higher then three tefachim as Chavut is not limited to within three tefachim. 

3) Whether the shapes of the pegs holding up the Korah make a difference

Rashi on bottom of דף ח עמוד ב said Lavud can not be applied to connect something to a halchachik wall.

Does that apply to Chavut as well?

Questions:

Tosfos gives two answers. 

What’s the difference between the two answers?

Learn ריטב”א – note how he answers Tosfos question. 

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=37287&st=&pgnum=13

What is the difference between Tosfos and the Ritva answers?

Rava holds the Korah must be placed straight and not on an angle because a Korah is just considered a היכר and placing a Korah on an angle is not a היכר.

Major Question: 

Tosfos תוס’ “מניח asked according to Rav Kahana how could it be permitted to carry along the border of the Korah even opposite the long wall as there are only two walls blocking in this part of the Mavui and need minimum of three walls to make it a reshus hayachid. Tosfos first answer is according to Rav Kahana Korah is Mechitza and therefore there really are three walls. 

Rava explains his position that one must place the Korah on straight from the edge of the short wall and parallel to the opposite wall to the edge of the long wall because  קורה משום היכר and if place the Korah on an angle its not a היכר 

Why doesn’t Rava just simply say the reason is קורה משום היכר and therefore if place the Korah on an angle from the short side to the long side you will only have two walls? 

According to Rava if one places the Korah on an angle from the edge of the short wall to the edge of the long wall would it be permitted to carry in the back part of the Mavui from the inside of the short wall? 

See ביאור הלכה ס’ שס”ג סע’ ל “אינו מניח who brings a dispute between the Machatzits Hashekel and Pri Megadim regarding this.

Major Question:

How could the Machatzitz Hashekel permit carrying in the back part of the Mavui Tosfos clearly says if one can not carry opposite the long wall than its considered outside the mavui and the korah is considered placed outside the mavui therefore the Korah should not be able to allow one to carry inside any part of the mavui?

Rabbi Jaffe asked me the following question on Shabbos.

What was the need to place nets – a full wall on the fourth side as since the sea wall is a valid wall than this road is a classic dead end mavui which only requires a Lechi or Korah on the fourth side?
