Yaakov Challenge to A from Baraita Ranbi – found them broken Rav Zevid – found them in piles B. Burning sinews: Rav – Neck sinews are not edible Challenge from Mishnah – refers to edible (with difficulty) neck sinews 1) Rav Hisda – Mishnah refers to Gid Hanasheh 2) Rav Ashi – Mishnah refers to fat around Gid Hanasheh 3) Ravina – outer nerve C. Why can’t we burn notar on Yom Tov? 1) “until morning” twice 2) May only burn Shabbat offering on Shabbat 3) Like a postponed circumcision 4) Resting on Yom Tov is also a positive commandment
