Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Sukkah: Fifth Perek – Wednesday night shiur, Tamuz 12, Daf 51b (07/17/24)

Learn the :גמרא דף נא from after the Mishnah until the two dots

Questions

  • If the Jews living in mitzrayim were in violation of the לא תעשה prohibiting one to live in Mitzrayim why does the gemara attribute their settlement as the paradigm example of the honor of klal yisrael? 
  • Why didn’t the gemara know in the question that they were in violation of the  לא תעשה not to return to Mitzrayim?
  • Why were the Jews living in Mitzrayim punished so harshly for living in Mitzrayim which is just a  לא תעשה – culpable at most with lashes and not death? 
  • Were the people who were born and raised in Egypt in violation of the  לא תעשה as they never actually moved to egypt?
  • How was the Rambam permitted to live in Mitzrayim?

Note the differences between the Rambam and the Mishnah 

Questions:

How could the Ramabm say the setting up of the bleachers for women occurred on Erev Sukkos when the mishnah says it was done the night after the first day of Sukkos?

Why does the Ramabm not specify that the musical instruments were played by the Leviim?

Why does the Rambam not list the Chalil as one of the instruments?

Why does the Rambam not mention the blasting of the shofar as the water drawer exited the Beis hamikdash?

See ערוך לנר  who addresses many of the differences.

Why does the Rambam conclude with a whole explanation as to what Simcha is?
