Sukkah 53b Part 1/5

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why does the week after Shavuos still carry some kedusha? The Gemara's hekesh between Pesach and Shavuos gives seven days of tashlumin for the Korban Chagigah, and aliyah l'regel can still be done all week. The Mishnah then counts the trumpet blowings in the Beis HaMikdash, never fewer than 21 a day and never more than 48. The 48 comes from the daily blowings, Musaf, Erev Shabbos and the water drawing of Succos.

Key points

• The Gemara's hekesh gives Shavuos seven days of tashlumin to bring the Korban Chagigah.
• The Mishnah Berurah brings a shita allowing a forgotten Shehecheyanu all week, but does not accept it.
• Every day had 21 blowings: three opening the gates and nine with each daily offering.
• According to Rashi, though not all agree, a blowing followed each third of the Leviim's shir.
• Musaf, Erev Shabbos and the water drawing add nine, six and twelve, reaching 48.
