Sukkah 41a Part 3/4

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why did Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai forbid chadosh for the whole day of the waving after the Churban? The Gemara fears that once the Beis HaMikdash is rebuilt, people will eat at sunrise as they did the year before, when now only the korban permits. The Gemara then says Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai agreed with Rabbi Yehuda that the issur is d'Oraisa, and that Rabbi Yehuda misread the word hiskin as a takana. An aside ties ad d'lo yada on Purim to the same question of ad.

Key points

• The Gemara reconciles two pesukim: ad haviachem applies while the Beis HaMikdash stands, ad etzem hayom hazeh after.
• Telling people to hold back from a heter, like chametz after Pesach, is a simple enactment of Chazal.
• Per the Gemara, a Beis HaMikdash rebuilt that night leaves no time for the omer by chatzos.
• Rabbi Yehuda reads ad etzem hayom hazeh as ad v'ad b'chlal, until sunset, a d'Oraisa issur.
• The Gemara says Rabbi Yehuda erred, and hiskin means Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai darshened, then enacted.
