Mishnah Berurah, Siman 285 Part 1/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why does Rashi say Ataros v'Divon has no Targum, when the Targum seems to translate those names? A girsa of Divon v'Ataros, matching the second listing of the cities in Bamidbar, makes sense of the Gemara's demand to read even these words. From the Gemara we go on to the Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berurah on shnayim mikra v'echad targum, finishing each parsha with the tzibur and the promise of long life.

Key points

• With the girsa Divon v'Ataros, as in the second listing, Rashi's comment on the Targum makes sense.
• The Gemara treats Erev Yom Kippur as a time for eating, not for reviewing a year's parshiyos.
• The Gemara calls for honoring an elder who forgot his Torah, like the broken luchos kept in the aron.
• The Gemara in Brachos credits the brachos of bentching to Moshe Rabbeinu, Yehoshua, and David and Shlomo.
• For the second reading, the Magen Avraham brings some who accept the chazan's reading b'dieved, while others disagree.
