Rosh Hashanah 31b Part 2/4

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Which nine takanos did Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai make? Kohanim duchen without shoes, and a ger no longer sets aside a quarter shekel for his korban. According to Rav Papa, the ninth ended the rule that kerem revai grown within a day's walk of Yerushalayim come up as fruit, a rule made to beautify its markets. Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak's view, tied to the strand of red wool, is left for tomorrow.

Key points

• In the Gemara Rashi cites, a torn shoelace could make people doubt a kohen's yichus.
• Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai annulled a ger's quarter shekel, lest the kodesh coin be spent on mundane things.
• We learn that annulling an earlier beis din's takana takes a beis din with as many dayanim.
• The Mishnah in Maaser Sheni has kerem revai within a day's walk brought up as fruit.
• Rabbi Eliezer's talmidim told him Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai had already permitted redeeming kerem revai.
