Sukkah 55a Part 3/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

In golus, where every day of Succos is a safek, which day's korbanos do we say in Musaf of Chol HaMoed? Abaye and Rava each let one day drop out, but Ameimar's takanah has us say both possible days. Working through the siddur, we see the same pattern in Musaf and in the Chol HaMoed laining, and why Hoshana Rabbah breaks it, since the next day is Shemini Atzeres.

Key points

• Abaye has the third day called the third, dropping the second, while Rava says the second, dropping the seventh.
• Ameimar's takanah has us say both possible days' korbanos in Musaf of Chol HaMoed.
• On Succos each day has one less par, as the seventy nations grow less and less.
• Simchas Torah is really the second day of Shemini Atzeres, a custom from after the Gemara.
• Rashi treats revi'i as the key Chol HaMoed aliyah, and the others only fill in.
