Rosh Hashanah 29b Part 1/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbos, why was the shofar blown only in the Beis HaMikdash, and what changed after the Churban? The Mishnah takes for granted that there is some problem with shofar on Shabbos and leaves the reason for the Gemara. After the Churban, a takana was made to blow wherever there is a bais din. The Sanhedrin's moves out of the Beis HaMikdash and on to Yavne explain the Mishnah's closing comparison.

Key points

• Writing every unclear word into the Gemara keeps the nightly chazara down to five minutes.
• The Mishnah assumes shofar on Shabbos is a problem, yet it was blown in the Beis HaMikdash.
• The bais din meant in the takana made after the Churban is the bais din of 23.
• A later Tanna limits the takana to Yavne alone, and the Rabbanan extend it to every bais din.
• Most Rishonim read Yerushalayim's edge as nearby towns also blowing once the Sanhedrin left the Beis HaMikdash.
