Sukkah 45b Part 3/5

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Does the bracha on lulav and on sukkah come once or every day? Shmuel, Rabbah bar bar Chana and Ravin each give a different answer, and Rav Yosef tells us to hold on to Rabbah bar bar Chana for sukkah. A beraisa then raises a kasha on Rabbi Yochanan. The lulav half is answered and the sukkah half is left for next time.

Key points

• The Gemara has Shmuel make the lulav bracha daily, since lulav stops at night.
• The Gemara rests Rabbah bar bar Chana's view on sukkah being d'Oraisa and lulav d'Rabbanan.
• A commentary read inside has a new sukkah bracha after every real break, as with tefillin.
• The beraisa has a bracha on lulav all seven days, but on sukkah only once.
• The Gemara answers the lulav kasha: the beraisa speaks of lulav in the Beis HaMikdash.
