Rosh Hashanah 30a Part 1/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What is the second advantage Yerushalayim had over Yavne, hinted at by the Mishnah's word v'od? Chazal relaxed the gezeira on blowing shofar on Shabbos, which comes from the worry that a person might come to carry, where a beis din sat. The Gemara turns down two answers, the yechidim and the time of beis din, and settles on Rav Huna's bifnei beis din. A preview of Yom Kippur of Yovel, when shofar was blown and slaves went free, comes at the end.

Key points

• Rabbi Yitzchak bar Yosef saw yechidim blowing in Yavne, so the Gemara drops that answer.
• Limiting Yavne to the time of beis din plus bifnei beis din would make three advantages.
• The Gemara puts Rav Huna's bifnei beis din in place of the time of beis din.
• Perhaps the two are separate, since one could blow at home while beis din sits.
