, 22 July 2024→Bein HaShemashot: I started going through this note. It said that acc. to R Yehuda bein hashmashot ends when the ball of the sun goes down. If this was my page I would take out this whole footnote. It needs a lot of clarification and I believe that it is not so important for the practical halacha. In other footnotes I wrote in a much more concise version what is needed for the page. Would you like for me to spend a few hours fixing this one up? or take it out?

#[[Bein HaShemashot|''Bein hashemashot'']] is the time period between certain daytime and certain nighttime. It is considered a ''safek,'' or doubt, whether it is considered day or night; this has many halachic ramifications. There is a major dispute regarding the length of this period. <ref>*'''(1) Gemara [[Shabbat]]''' 34b says [[Bein HaShemashot]] is considered as a doubt whether it is considered daytime or nighttime.

There is a major dispute regarding the length of this period. <ref>*'''(1) Gemara [[Shabbat]]''' 34b says [[Bein HaShemashot|bein hashemashot]] is considered as a doubt whether it is considered daytime or nighttime. When is [[Bein HaShemashot|bein hashemashot]]? Rabbi Yehuda says that [[Bein HaShemashot|bein hashemashot]] starts from [[Shekiyah]] when the eastern horizon darkens, and concludes 3/4 of a ''mil'' later when the upper part of the sky becomes dark as well. Rabbi Yosi says that [[Bein HaShemashot|bein hashemashot]] is as short as the blink of an eye, though R. Yose also agrees that there is a doubt (Tosfot 34b s.v. Rabbi Yose). R. Nechemya says that it is from [[Shekiyah]] and lasts the length of time it takes to walk a half [[mil]]. [Note, a mil is 2000 amot (see above).] | ||
*'''Explanation of Rabbi Yehuda's opinion:''' Rabba explains Rabbi Yehuda as saying that [[Bein HaShemashot]] starts from [[Shekiyah]] even though the sky is still red, while Rav Yosef says [[Bein HaShemashot]] starts from when the sun already set. It follows, says the Gemara, that according to Rabba the span of [[Bein HaShemashot]] is 3/4 of a [[mil]] and according to Rav Yosef [[Bein HaShemashot]] is 2/3 of a [[mil]]. | *'''Explanation of Rabbi Yehuda's opinion:''' Rabba explains Rabbi Yehuda as saying that [[Bein HaShemashot]] starts from [[Shekiyah]] even though the sky is still red, while Rav Yosef says [[Bein HaShemashot]] starts from when the sun already set.

*'''Who do we follow, Rabba or Rav Yosef, in explaining Rabbi Yehuda?''' The Rif (15a) writes that since it is unclear whether halacha follows Rav Yosef or Rabba, one should be strict to follow Rabba that [[Bein HaShemashot]] begins at [[Shekiyah]]. Then he says that it seems halacha should follow Rabba because halacha always follows Rabba with three exceptions and this isn't one of them. Similarly, Rambam ([[Shabbat]] 5:4) rules like Rabba that [[Bein HaShemashot]] begins at [[Shekiyah]]. Rabbenu Yonah (quoted by Rosh [[Shabbat]] 2:23) argues that since they're not arguing about which logic is correct but about what Rav Yehuda said the halacha follows both Rabba and Rav Yosef, whichever way will be a stringency. Therefore, in context of [[accepting Shabbat]], Rama 261:1 rules like Rabba that [[Bein HaShemashot]] is 3/4 of a [[mil]]. | *'''Who do we follow, Rabba or Rav Yosef, in explaining Rabbi Yehuda?'''
