Rosh Hashanah 30b Part 3/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why did Beis Din stop accepting edim on day thirty once the afternoon tamid was brought? The Mishnah tells that once the edim came late and the Leviim erred in the shir, so a takana closed the door after mincha. We learn what sets the two days of Rosh Hashanah apart. Then comes the Gemara's machlokes between Bavel and Rav Zeira over what the Leviim's error was.

Key points

• The Mishnah tells that late edim once left the Leviim singing the wrong shir.
• Beis Din was given the power to fix Rosh Chodesh, moving Yom Kippur and Succos with it.
• When edim came after mincha, day thirty was surely not Yom Tov, kept only by takana.
• Both days could be vadai Yom Tov, one d'Rabbanan and one d'Oraisa, so shehecheyanu comes twice.
• Bavel says the Leviim sang nothing, and Rav Zeira says they sang the weekday shir.
