Sukkah 33b

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

If a lulav's tie comes undone on Yom Tov, why does the beraisa have it retied only like an aguda shel yerek, and not even with a bow? The Gemara answers that the Tanna of the beraisa holds like Rabbi Yehuda that an aniva, a bow, is a real kesher. That Tanna does not hold like Rabbi Yehuda's shita that a lulav is tzarich eged. So a loose wrap is enough for the mitzvah.

Key points

• Tying is a melacha on Yom Tov just as on Shabbos, so the beraisa avoids a real knot.
• The beraisa's Tanna, says the Gemara, follows Rabbi Yehuda on aniva but not on lulav tzarich eged.
• Perhaps, according to Rabbi Yehuda, nothing can be done once the lulav's tie opens on Yom Tov.
