Sukkah 35b Part 3/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When does chazazis, a blister on the esrog, make it pasul? In the Gemara's first version, Rav Chisda limits the pesul of chazazis on most of the esrog to one place, and Rava objects that scattered spots look menumer, spotted like a leopard. On niklaf, a peeled esrog, Rashi and Rabbeinu Chananel read the Gemara's whole and partial cases in opposite directions. Rabbeinu Chananel compares a fully peeled esrog to an animal whose skin is entirely removed, which is a treifa.

Key points

• In the Gemara's second version, chazazis on a miyut in two or three spots is pasul as spotted.
• Rava adds that chazazis on the chotem, the top of the esrog, is pasul in any amount.
• Rashi has a fully peeled esrog kosher and a partly peeled one pasul, Rabbeinu Chananel the reverse.
