Sukkah 44a

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Is taking the aravah a yesod nevi'im, an enactment of the last Nevi'im, or only a minhag nevi'im, their custom? The Gemara pins down Rabbi Yochanan's view, tests it against his other statement, and settles the two: inside the Mikdash and outside it. Rav Ami's three statements on the aravah follow, then how much aravah is needed.

Key points

• Rashi makes the difference between yesod and minhag nevi'im whether one says a bracha.
• The Gemara puts seven days in the Mikdash as halacha l'Moshe m'Sinai, and outside it as yesod nevi'im.
• Against Rav Nachman's three moist-leaved stems, Rav Sheshes accepts even one leaf on one stem.
