Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Sukkah: Fourth Perek, Wednesday night shiur, Iyar 8 Daf 49b (05/15/24)

Review the גמרא דף מט: “א”ר אלעזר גדול העושה צדקה until א”ר חמא בר פפא (seven lines from bottom of the Amud) 

Questions:

Why doesn’t Rebbe Elazer say that creating justice is greater than all the korbanos the same as giving tzedaka as both are mentioned in the pasuk?

Why is receiving reward for doing acts of kindness guaranteed but uncertain for giving tzedakah?

Is the second interpretation of Rebbe Elazer of the pasuk discussing tzedakah and chesed a new interpretation or an additional interpretation?

See מהרש”א 

See ערוך לנר for a different explanation

Clarify the three different explanations of the Gemara as to why specifically a barrel that was not מקודשת was used

Learn תוספת דף נ. “ואי from beginning until “וא”ת ” discusses the requirements for drawing the water for ניסוך המים.

Tosfos proves that a כלי שרת is only מקדש inside the Beis Hamikdash 

Why didn’t they fill up a מקודשת barrel and leave it outside the beis hamikdash until shabbos morning so there would be no disqualification of לינה?

Continue learning Tosfos from “אם כן אכתי תיקשי לן (second to last line of Tosfos) for two answers.
