The Shir of Chol Hamoed

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When two musafim fall on one day, are the tekios blown for each? A beraisa lists what was sung on each day of Chol HaMoed Succos, and when Shabbos fell only the Shabbos song was sung. Since song and blowing went together, the Gemara uses the beraisa as a refutation. Along the way Rashi ties each day's song to the Yom Tov, a loose connection, and Rav Safra and Rav Papa give simanim for the order.

Key points

  • One pshat reads a word written without a yud as singular, so only one set of tekios.
  • The first day's song speaks of Hashem upon the waters, tied to nisuch hamayim.
  • Rashi on the second day's song says a promised karban cannot be pushed past the regalim.
  • When Shabbos fell, Haazinu was sung, each song moved a day, and the sixth dropped out.
  • Song and blowing went together, so one song meant one set of tekios, a refutation.
