Reply To: Split: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

שבת כב,ב

The above should be under this daf.

The Har Tzvi O’CH (2,114) questions the Jerusalem custom of lighting outside in a container and closing the door after lighting as maybe the wind would put it out? How were you able to light it when it was open? We don’t figure that the wind increased when you closed it.

שבת כג,א

We don’t make a brocho על הדלקת הנר but the להדליק indicating that the lighting is the mitzva. We make בימים ההם בזמן הזה and not בזמן ההוא to emphasize what the Derashes Horan says that Nissan will be the time of redemption because it was the time of redemption and we will reawaken now the strength that is hidden in it.
Similarly, we can reawaken now the miracle that happened at the time of Chanukah.
The Chasan Sofer explains the custom that women don’t work when the candles are burning. They commemorate the biblical eight days of Yomim Tovim where the women light candles. So the men commemorate the miracle of the oil and the women abstain from work to commemorate the Yomim Tovim.

שבת כג,ב

Tosfas explains that if a mitzva is constant and the other is publicized, if it is question of precedence, which is first, the constant comes first. However when it is a question of doing one or another but not both then the one that publicizes the neis is done. On Yom Tov falling on Shabbos we say a Yom Tov shmonei esrei with Shabbos in it and not a Shabbos shmonei esrei with Yom Tov in it.
