The Gemara Bava Metzia lists three people who descend to gehinom and never leave.

Questions:

Why does the Gemara Bava Metzia omit a fourth person – Jew who has relations with a non Jew which our Gemara lists? 

Learn גמרא ראש השנה דף יז.”פושעי ישראל בגופן (last word on the eighth line of the Amud) until “וכל כך” (middle of the Amud) which gives a different list of people who descend to gehinom and are judged there for generations. 

Why does the Gemara Bava Metzia not include these in its listing? 

Does a person who commit one of the aveiros listed punishable with descent to gehinom forever doomed forever?

 by 

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Sukkah: Fourth Perek, Monday night shiur, Cheshvan 23, Daf 46a (11/06/23)

Topic: Conclusion – Shehechiyanu

On גמרא דף מו. “ת”ר העושה סוכה לעצמו (fifth wide line) until ת”ר 

We learnt that the argument between the רן and רא”ש regarding whether one must say Shehecheyanu for the Daled Minim again on the second day of Sukkos revolves around whether the ability to recite Shechiyanu is limited exclusively to time of construction and performance or even anytime in between. 

The שולחן ערוך אורח חיים ס’ תרס”ב סע’ ב rules Shehechiyanu is not repeated on the Daled Minim on the second day of Sukkos

However the שולחן ערוך אורח חיים ס’ תרס”א rules that Shehechiyanu is repeated during kiddush on the second night of Yom tov. 

Is there a difference between the Shehecheyanu said the first night and second night of Sukkos?

According to the answer of the Gemara?

What is the purpose of these רוחין, שידין, ולילין? 

The Gemara says Adam and Chava wore זרזי תאנים just for 130 years. However the Pasuk says they put them on when they realized they’re were ערומים/ unclothed. Why would they wear them only for 130 years?
