Sukkah 46a Part 1/6

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Is a bracha made on a mitzvah d'Rabbanan, like lulav after the first day of Succos? Shmuel and Rav hold that a bracha is made all seven days. One Amora limits the bracha to the first day, since the later days are only a mitzvah of the zekeinim, the Rabbanan. The Gemara finds Rav's view in his din on ner Chanukah, which leads into the brachos for lighting and for seeing the Chanukah lights.

Key points

• Rashi paskens a bracha on a mitzvah d'Rabbanan, since Rav and Shmuel both hold so.
• The Gemara drops Shehecheyanu on later nights and keeps She'asa Nisim, since every day had a nes.
• One suggestion of the Ohr Sameach: Chanukah, which stays in the third Beis HaMikdash, teaches nothing for lulav.
