Sukkah 50b Part 5/9

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Is the main part of the shira in the Beis HaMikdash the singing or the instruments? Rav Papa ties this to the Mishnah in Arachin on who played: avadim of Kohanim, certain families, or Leviyim. The Gemara then reads the Mishnah as a dispute over who actually played, which matters for yichus and maaser. Then the Amoraim argue over where the machlokes on shira and Shabbos lies, and a beraisa answers Rav Yosef with a teyuvta.

Key points

• Rav Papa says Rabbi Meir allows avadim because he holds the main shira is the singing.
• In the Gemara's new reading, all hold the main shira is singing, and the Tannaim argue only over who played.
• The Gemara says the difference is ma'alin mi'duchan l'yuchsin and maaser, meaning what the platform proves about the players.
• Rav Yirmiya bar Abba places the machlokes on shir shel shoeva, and agrees shir shel korban is docheh Shabbos.
• A beraisa with a machlokes over shir shel shoeva is a teyuvta on Rav Yosef.
