Reply To: How did the Israelis enjoy their 8 day Pesach?

Someone in shul said that the ?????? ????? , an old sfardi sefer, gives a reason why we catch up with ??? ????? by ??? ?????? and not earlier.

He says why do still keep 2 days ??? ??? nowadays if we no longer have a ??? when ??? ???? was? Its because we should not change something done for centuries even if the reason is no longer applicable. So really we could keep only one day like ??? ????? who keep the correct day. If so, why should ??? ????? bend toward ??? ???? and split sedras? They are ok, so they should continue until they come to a reason why they must split sedras for themselves – which is ??? ??????, because ??????? we should lein ????? (and preferably ??? also) just before ??????, so then they split ??? ?????? to achieve this. But they do not split earlier for the convenience of ??? ????.

And anyways, he says, even if they would split at the earliest chance, they would not do so at ????? ????? as this would prolong the reading of ???? of ????? which is not ideal, so the earliest possible split would be ???? ??? ??????.
