Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Third Perek – Wednesday night shiur, Iyar 10 Daf 38b (05/07/25)

Halachic conclusion הלכות שהייה

How do we conclude lhalacha? Do we rule like Rabanan or like Chanania?

Complete learning the רא”ש פרק ג’ ס’ א who presents a lengthy discussion on the different opinions and how we conclude lhalacha.

The רא”ש first brings the ruling of the רי”ף who rules like the Rabanan and all of the proofs of the רי”ף. (We went through most of those proofs when we learnt the  רי”ף)   The רא”ש then brings the opinion of רש”י and the ר”י who rules like Chanania. 

The רא”ש then quotes the בעל המאור who also rules like Chanania and refutes all the proofs of the רי”ף (we learnt some of the refutations in the ר”ן) 

The רא”ש then brings ר’ יהודה הברצלוני & שאילתות דרב אחאי גאון who rule like the רי”ף and goes through each refutation of the בעל המאור and explains why it is not a valid refutation. 

In conclusion the רא”ש says “ובשביל שרבו דעות בהאי פיסקא “
