Pesahim 52 - Better Think Twice about Banning Second Day Yom Tov
Rabbi Richard Hidary
A. Second Day of Yom Tov controversy B. R. Yehuda’s Sheviit Law vs conformity with stringency 1) Rav Shesha – case when both places have not ceased 2) Opposite – R. Yehuda is the stringent one 3) Abaye – went and came back 4) Rav Ashi – like the dispute about assorted pickles 5) Ravina – like dispute about fruit stuck in thorns Tanna Kamma – available to some R. Yehuda – equally available to all C. 3 Lands for Sheviit D. Fruit taken out of Israel E. Unripe fruit: R. Ilai – ok to cut because not fruit (R. Yose) Rav Nahman – it is like fruit (Tanna Kamma)
