Shabbos 24 – שבת כד

The Gemara questions whether Chanukah or Rosh Chodesh are mentioned in Birchas Hamzon, but both days are certainly mentioned during Tefillah.  However, there seems to be a discrepancy between them; if one omits Rosh Chodesh (Yaaleh veyavo) during Tefillah he need to repeat, but if he omits Chanukah (Al hanissim) he doesn’t – why?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

How can we prove from the bracha at the sighting of a new pumpkin – which evokes delight, to Rosh Hashanah and Y”K which are not meant as days of joy and happiness?

 

Eruvin 64 – עירובין סד

Rava critiques Rav Nachman for expressing his like/dislike of certain halachos.  But don’t we find many times (Shavuos 45b etc.) where the Chachamim would praise a specific halacha, and at other times negate and dispute others?

“Ein ma’avirin al ha’ochlin” the Gemara seems to apply this to all foods.  Since the subject matter in the story was ‘Gluskin’ (bread/baked goods) perhaps this only applies to items such as those – which carry added significance (Hamotzie, food staple etc.)?
