Sukkah (chazara)

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why did Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai forbid chadash for the whole sixteenth of Nisan, when without an omer the Torah lets the morning permit it? The Gemara fears that once the Beis HaMikdash is quickly rebuilt, people will eat at sunrise out of habit and forget that the omer must come first. Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak reads the whole day as d'Oraisa, so perhaps by his count there are only eight takanos.

Key points

• The Gemara learns zecher l'Mikdash from a pasuk that Tziyon has no one seeking it.
• Per the Gemara, Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai feared people eating chadash at sunrise from habit.
• The Gemara's case is a Beis HaMikdash built around shkiah, leaving no time for the omer before chatzos.
• Rashi answers that the third Beis HaMikdash will come down from Shamayim fully built.
• For Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak the whole day is d'Oraisa, reading ad as including the day.
