Rosh Hashanah 30a Part 3/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Rav Huna limits the blowing on Yom Kippur of Yovel to bizman beis din, so what counts as beis din still sitting? Rav Zeira asks about a beis din that stirred to get up but stayed in its seats, and whether Rebbi's word yoshvin means literally sitting or still in session. The Gemara leaves the question open. Then the Mishnah teaches what Yerushalayim had over Yavna: towns around Yerushalayim that could see it, hear it, were close and could come were able to blow.

Key points

• Rav Zeira asks whether a beis din that stirred to rise but stayed seated still counts.
• Sitting and being in session differ, like staying seated after a shiur without learning.
• The Gemara excludes a valley, a mountaintop, beyond the techum, and across a river.
