לא להסתפק באונס רחמנא פטריה ומעלה הכתוב ורק כאילו

בגמ’ ברכות י”ב א’ בענין קריאת עשרת הדברות כפלה את אותו מעשה באנשים אחרים, וצריך טעם:

“וקורין עשרת הדברות כו’ אמר ר”י אמר שמואל אף בגבולין בקשו לקרות כן אלא שכבר בטלום מפני תרעומת המינין. תנ”ה רבי נתן אומר בגבולין בקשו לקרות כן אלא שכבר בטלום מפני ת”ה, רבב”ח סבר למקבעינהו בסורא א”ל רב חסדא כבר בטלום מפני ת”ה, אמימר סבר למקבעינהו בנהרדעא א”ל רב אשי כבר בטלום מפני ת”ה.”

ונראה שבא לרמוז שיש לחפש בכל דור שמא כבר בטל האונס המעכב קיום המצוה (ויש הרבה מאד מצוות שנמנעו מאתנו).

Derech B’Yam HaTalmud: Blowing the Shofar on Shabbas

Rosh Hashanah this year is unique in that the first day falls on Shabbas and so the Shofar is not blown then. How do we relate to a Rosh Hashanah without the Shofar?

To help you understand and delve into this topic, Derech B’Yam HaTalmud has published a new kuntres entitled Blowing the Shofar on Shabbas. It elucidates the Talmud Bavli in Rosh Hashanah 29b, and the Talmud Yerushalmi in 4:1 on this topic.

Among the topics covered are:
• When the Beis HaMikdash stood, the Shofar was blown in it each Rosh Hashanah, even on Shabbas. What was the reason for this rule? Did this allowance apply anywhere else? Does it still apply today?
• The Mishnah says that Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai permitted the blowing of the Shofar after the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash in certain cases. Why did he make this rule, and how was he able to do so?
• Are we permitted to blow the Shofar today on Shabbas? Has anyone done so since the days of Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai?
• There are many significant reasons to blow the Shofar, and important benefits we gain from it. How do we view Rosh Hashanah this year without the Shofar on the first day?

These issues are more are covered in our kuntres which can be downloaded at:
