Beitzah 12 - September 12, 6 Tishrei

Study Guide Beitzah 12 Today’s daf is sponsored by Adrienne Robb Fund in honor of Michelle Farber "for all that she does to promote learning! Thanks for coming to Long Island!" Can one carry on Yom Tov in the public domain items that are not needed for eating, such as a child, a lulav, or a Sefer Torah? Beit Shamai does not permit it but Beit Hillel does. Is the root of their debate whether or not they think there is no prohibition to carry on Yom Tov or is it whether we say that since carrying was permitted for eating purposes, we, therefore, permit it for other things as well? Another debate between Beit Shamai and Beit Hillel is whether or not one can bring a kohen the gifts that are meant for him, such as challah and parts of the animal after it is slaughtered. There are several different opinions about exactly what case they disagree - is it regarding gifts that were separated both before and during Yom Tov, or only ones that were separated before Yom Tov and they are brought without ones that were separated on Yom Tov, or is the debate only regarding truma? According to which opinion is the one stated in the mishna? According to which opinion do we hold by? A case was asked of Rava whether one could crush mustard stalks to remove the mustard seed on Yom Tov. Rava permitted it. Abaye questions him both from a braita and then from our mishna.
