Rosh Hashanah 30b Part 2/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When the edim came late on the thirtieth day, what mistake did the Levi'im make in the shira? After a review of the takana to accept edim only until mincha, and of its end once the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, the Gemara brings a machlokes. In Bavel they explained that the Levi'im sang no shira at all, and Rabbi Zeira held they sang the weekday shira. Rabbi Zeira's beraisa about singing the shira without a mistake is no proof, since singing nothing is also a mistake.

Key points

• Chazal had the day kept holy even after late edim, so next year it is taken seriously.
• In Bavel the Levi'im's kilkul was explained as singing no shira at all.
• The Gemara answers that skipping the shira is also a mistake, so the beraisa proves nothing.
