Shabbos 131 – שבת קלא

The Gemara asks how come the machshirin of Tzitzis and Mezuza don’t override Shabbos; why can’t we simply ask from the fact that a private korban cannot be brought on Shabbos – hence we see that even an actual Mitzva cannot override Shabbos?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

One may not accept a Chametz-deposit from a Goy, even if the Goy doesn’t reside in the same Chatzer as you.  Since we are speaking where the Chametz is actually in your home (as the passuk indicates) why is the Goy’s place of residence of any relevance?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

Tosfos asks, how can one make a bracha on a Lulav after the fact.  Why would it be different than Tevillah where we have no problem with a bracha after the Tevillah?
