The Mishna teaches that one should not begin a wedding meal or conduct Din prior to Mincha, lest he come to perhaps miss the Tefillah. We learn elsewhere (Shabbos 10a) that conducting a Din is a Mitzvah, as certainly is attending a wedding. Why should one not begin the Mitzvah at hand, even if it may lead to forfeiting a later Mitzvah – since we know that one who is involved in a Mitzvah is exempt from doing another?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
Rebbi Yehuda’s allowance to place the Eruv on the grave is apparently in a case of Mitzvah, which is not considered a personal benefit. If so why do the Rabanan not allow it?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Gemara says there were not enough people to (around Rav Chanilay) to reach the Techum. Why couldn’t they simply walk him along until they all reached the Techum together; since even a mobile Mechitza is valid?
