Rosh Hashanah 30b Part 4/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How did the Leviim go wrong with the shir on the day the edim came late? The Bnei Bavel say they sang no shira at all. Rabbi Zeira says they sang the weekday shir with the afternoon tamid. Rabbi Zeira brings two beraisos to show that in a safek the Leviim sing rather than stay silent.

Key points

• The Bnei Bavel hold the Leviim abstained, while Rabbi Zeira holds they sang the weekday shir.
• Answering Ahava, the Bnei Bavel say that singing no shira at all is itself the greatest mistake.
• On a Thursday Rosh Hashanah, the beraisa splits Harninu between the morning tamid and Mussaf.
• When the edim came after the morning tamid, the Leviim sang Harninu from the beginning and repeated it.
• The Bnei Bavel reply that the safek there was only where to begin, never weekday or Yom Tov shir.
