Rosh Hashanah 30b Part 6/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What did the Leviim do wrong when the edim came late on Rosh Hashanah? Bnei Bavel say they did not sing at all, and Rav Zeira says they sang the weekday shir. The Gemara tests each view against a beraisa and against Rosh Hashanah falling on a Thursday. A beraisa then gives the reason for each day's shir, and Rabbi Nechemya reads Shabbos's shir as speaking of the past, like the other six days.

Key points

• The Mishnah's takanah accepts edim only until mincha, and later arrivals still keep the day kodesh.
• Told to turn right, staying put at the intersection is a mistake too, just like turning left.
• With a Thursday Rosh Hashanah both choices are weekday shir, so all agree to start from pasuk aleph.
• Rabbi Nechemya reads the shir of Shabbos as being about the past, like the other six days.
