Rosh Hashanah 30b Part 5/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What mistake did the Leviim make in the shir? The Bnei Bavel say the Leviim sang nothing, unsure whether the shir was Yom Tov's or a weekday's. Rabbi Zeira says the Leviim sang the weekday shir. A beraisa has the shir repeated when Rosh Hashanah falls on Thursday, and the Gemara answers that repeating the shir of the day is no offense, unlike a shir of chol on Yom Tov.

Key points

• The Bnei Bavel read the mistake as singing no shir at all, out of doubt.
• Edim walking from far away might arrive late, since the beraisa wanted every pair to come.
• Rabbi Zeira brings a beraisa on closing the doors, suggesting the Leviim sang the weekday shir.
• On a Thursday Rosh Hashanah, the beraisa starts Harninu from the seventh pasuk only if the edim came early.
• The Gemara answers that repeating the shir of the day is no problem, unlike chol on Yom Tov.
