Eliezer Danzinger Content Editor: Rabbi Sholom Zirkind © Copyright by Sichos In English 2022 ○5782 A note on the translation: Rounded parentheses and square brackets reflect their use in the original sichah; squiggly parentheses are interpolations of the translator or editor. Similarly, on each day of Chol Hamoed… Commentators4 note that Rambam cites the verse, “You shall rejoice before Hashem, your L-rd, for seven days,” as the proof text for the “day of additional celebration in the Temple on the festival of Sukkos.” Rambam also does not mention that the additional celebration had anything to do with the water libation — Simchas Beis HaShoeva.5 This shows that Rambam maintains that the “additional celebration” was unconnected with the water libation. Volume 17 | Emor | Sichah 4 projectlikkuteisichos.org - page 2 verse,8 “You shall draw water with joy,” only teaches that in consequence of this verse, which is really only an asmachta,9 our Sages connected the additional celebration of the festival of Sukkos with the water libation. But we need to clarify: Seemingly, Rambam’s wording is self-contradictory: He begins by saying that we derive the obligation for the “additional celebration” from the verse, “You shall rejoice before Hashem, your L-rd, for seven days.” This shows that the time of this rejoicing also includes the first day of the festival because it is one of the seven days. But immediately afterward, in the same halachah, Rambam says, “The celebration would begin on the night after the first day of the festival.” Rambam immediately offers the rationale for this: “This celebration supersedes neither the Shabbos nor the festival {prohibitions}.”11 But this itself is difficult to understand. This raises a question: Why would the biblical obligation not override the rabbinic prohibition of using musical instruments [especially considering that “in the Temple, rabbinic decrees are not in force,”14 and Simchas Beis HaShoeva took place exclusively within the Temple]? Rambam himself says in an earlier halachah15 that this verse teaches us something else: “The mitzvah of lulav… and only in the Temple, the lulav is taken on each of the seven days
