Sukkah 53a Part 4/7

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Was Levi's limp caused by the kidah he showed Rebbi, or by his sharp words toward Heaven? The Gemara answers that both together caused it. A Tanna who sang there as a Levi recalls Simchas Beis HaShoeva days without sleep, which the Gemara reads as only dozing. A question on why mincha comes before the afternoon tamid meets the Tashbetz's girsa, brought in the Gilyon HaShas.

Key points

• Kidah meant bowing with the whole body's weight on the two thumbs, then rising.
• One reading: Levi's punishment from Taanis waited until the dangerous kidah put him at risk.
• Rashi brings a saying from Bavel: once the ox has fallen, slaughter it.
• The Gemara reads the beraisa's sleepless week as dozing on friends' shoulders, never in bed.
• Gilyon HaShas brings the Tashbetz's girsa, with the afternoon tamid before mincha.
