Shehechiyanu on Shemini Atzeres

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why does Shemini Atzeres get its own Shehechiyanu? A beraisa calling Shemini a regel bifnei atzmo, with korban, shir, bracha and lina, is brought as proof. The Gemara then settles a contradiction in Rabbi Yehuda on lina. Reviewing the Gemara quickly several times over Shabbos is how the kinyan is built.

Key points

  • Rishonim ask why lina is missing from Pazar Kshav if Shemini Atzeres needs its own lina.
  • Rabbi Yochanan has Shehechiyanu on Shemini Atzeres, which the Gemara says differs from Succos in three ways.
  • In the Gemara, Shvi'i shel Pesach differs only from the first night, but Shemini Atzeres differs even by day.
  • The Gemara asks whether the beraisa's bracha means Shehechiyanu or mentioning the day in bentching and tefillah.
  • The Gemara answers that Rabbi Yehuda's exclusion from lina covers only Pesach Sheni, not Shemini Atzeres.
