Sukkah 41a Part 1/4

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why does the Mishnah's takana forbid chadash for the whole day the Omer was waved? The Gemara fears that once the Beis HaMikdash is speedily rebuilt, people used to eating at sunrise will not realize that now only the Omer permits it. Chatzos would not be enough, says the Gemara, since the Beis HaMikdash might be built on the night of the sixteenth, leaving no time to prepare the Omer. The Gemara draws the source for any zecher l'Mikdash from a pasuk saying no one seeks Tziyon.

Key points

• The Mishnah's takana has the lulav taken seven days everywhere, zecher l'Mikdash.
• The Gemara in Menachos permits chadash from the Omer with a Mikdash, from sunrise without one.
• From the pasuk that no one seeks Tziyon, the Gemara learns Tziyon needs seeking.
• Once the Mikdash is rebuilt, the Gemara fears, people would eat at sunrise as in past years.
• Rashi says the coming Mikdash descends from heaven, unlike a building put up by man.
