Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

ברכות נג,א

On Yom Kippur we take a rested candle but not Shabbos because, explains the MB ( 298,26), that Shabbos we take a candle to commemorate the creation of fire by rubbing two stones together which is the opposite. It indicates that it was not there before but on Yom Kippur, we want to show that this fire’s use was forbidden before and allowed now, therefore, the fire must exist from before.

There is an argument among the litvishe and chasidishe what is better, one should make kiddush for everyone or everyone should make kiddush for themselves? The Chasiddishe make kiddush for themselves and the litvishe one makes kiddush for all. They say that the rule טוב בו יותר מבשלוחו that he personally comes before the shliach does not apply as שומע כעונה hearing is like answering considering the person himself making the brocho, so we have ברוב עם הדרת מלך it is nicer to do things in a group.
In SA O’CH 298,14 says that one should make the brocho on the candle for all. They all enjoy the light at once. When it comes to make a brocho on a talis, we find in SA O’CH 8,5 we are given a choice either one makes the brocho for everyone or if they want one makes the brocho and the others answer Amen. The MB s’k 13 says that one making the brocho we currently don’t follow as people don’t know how each should have in mind the other one to be yotzei. We find in YD 19,3 that two shochtim with two animals one can motzei the other. Asks the Kreisi s’k 6 why over here there is an option as by talis above but by Milah YD 265,5 no option is given by two mohalim with two boys one makes the brocho and the other is yotzei. Maybe as he mentions there it is more in public.
