Rosh Hashanah 29b Part 5/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What did Yerushalayim have "in addition" over Yavne when Rosh Hashanah fell on Shabbos? After Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai's takana to blow in Yavne, the Gemara asks who may blow, where and when. Two suggestions, that only shluchei bais din blew in Yavne or only during the bais din's hours, are each pushed away. The Gemara concludes that the extra is Rav Huna's point: in Yavne the blowing had to be in front of the bais din.

Key points

• Once the shofar was heard in Yavne, Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai would not reopen the question.
• In Rashi's reading, the Tanna Kamma lets a visiting bais din blow, and Amru lo needs a fixed one.
• The Gemara first reads Rav Huna's words, with the bais din, as in front of the bais din.
• Rabbi Yitzchak bar Yosef reported that everyone blew in Yavne, so blowing was not limited to shluchei bais din.
• The Gemara concludes that the v'od is Rav Huna's point: Yerushalayim needed no bais din present.
