Sukkah 54a Part 5/5

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Does the Mishnah's count of 48 tekios ever run higher? When Erev Pesach falls on Shabbos there are 51 or 57, and the Gemara answers that the Mishnah counts only what comes every year. Erev Shabbos always falls within Sukkos, since the first day of Sukkos is kept off Friday so that Yom Kippur is not on Sunday. A Mishnah on Shabbos fats burned on Yom Kippur raises the question of their kedusha, ending with havdalah between kedushos.

Key points

• The Gemara answers that the Mishnah's 48 counts only what happens every year.
• Shabbos is fixed by Hashem, but bais din sets Yom Tov, hence mekadesh Yisrael v'hazmanim.
• The Gemara rules out a Friday first day of Sukkos, which would put Yom Kippur on Sunday.
• The Gemara in Rosh Hashanah keeps Yom Kippur off Sunday because of spoiling vegetables and the dead.
• A Mishnah has Shabbos fats burned on Yom Kippur, raising whether Shabbos is holier than Yom Kippur.
