Sukkah 48b Part 1/4

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How was the nisuch hamayim done, and how was it managed when a day of Succos fell on Shabbos? The Mishnah has the water drawn from the Shiluach in a golden pitcher and poured into silver bowls on the mizbeach. On Shabbos the Mishnah has it drawn on Friday into an unconsecrated golden barrel. Keeping it out of a kli shares avoids the psul of lina overnight, and the kiyor stands in when the water spills or is uncovered.

Key points

• Wine ran through the wider spout and water through the narrower one, so both arrived together.
• Rabbi Yehuda holds that only one lug was used, and that the pouring went on all eight days.
• A Tzeduki poured the water on his feet, and the people pelted him with their esrogim.
• Water in a kli shares becomes holy and turns pasul through lina if left overnight.
• The kiyor was lowered nightly into a water source, so its water never became pasul.
