Sukkah 54b Part 3/5

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbos, which shir do the Leviim sing? The beraisa has the shir of Rosh Chodesh push away the shir of Shabbos, yet blowing for each musaf implies both are sung. Rav Safra reads docheh as going first, and Rabbi Yochanan sets aside tadir kodem so all will know Rosh Chodesh was fixed in its time. A commentary on the Gemara that applies tadir even where only one is done is left as an open kasha.

Key points

• The Ramban sees naming each weekday by its count toward Shabbos as giving honor to Shabbos.
• Rav Acha bar Chanina's blowing for every musaf implies both shiros are sung, which challenges the beraisa.
• Rav Safra reads docheh as l'kadem, so the Rosh Chodesh shir simply comes first.
• Rabbi Yochanan puts Rosh Chodesh first so everyone knows it was fixed in its time, overriding tadir.
• A commentary on the Gemara applies tadir even to a choice of one, unlike Shabbos Chanukah's single haftarah.
