Rosh Hashanah 29b Part 2/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What is wrong with blowing shofar on Shabbos, and where was it still blown? The Mishnah has the Beis HaMikdash blowing on Shabbos and, after the Churban, Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai's takana extending it to a beis din. The Gemara reads zichron teruah as Rosh Hashanah on Shabbos and yom teruah as a weekday. Its first thought is that the issur is d'Oraisa, which raises a question about the Beis HaMikdash.

Key points

• The Mishnah has Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai enact blowing after the Churban wherever a beis din sits.
• One Tanna limits that takana to the Sanhedrin in Yavneh, while the Rabbanan extend it to every beis din.
• In Yerushalayim, says the Mishnah, any nearby town that could see, hear and come also blew.
• If the issur is d'Oraisa, as the Gemara first thinks, how did the Beis HaMikdash blow on Shabbos?
