Sukkah 46a Part 4/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When is the shehechiyanu on a sukkah said: while building it, or at Kiddush? The beraisa has it said at the building, but Rav Kahana said all the brachos over the kos of Kiddush, and today everyone waits for Kiddush. Then the Gemara takes up many mitzvos at once and follows Rabbi Yehuda, who gives each mitzvah a dedicated bracha, just as each special day gets its own bracha.

Key points

• The Gemara seems to let a shehechiyanu made while building count for Yom Tov, a big chiddush.
• Rishonim explain that Rav Kahana moved the brachos to Kiddush so everyone would say them together.
• Rashi lists lulav, sukkah and tefillin together, which sounds like Rashi wore tefillin on Chol HaMoed.
• The bracha on bread is a birchas hanehenin, so one bracha over all the mitzvos leaves it out.
• The Gemara rules like Rabbi Yehuda, learning from Baruch Hashem yom yom that each mitzvah needs its own bracha.
