Interestingly, the ARuch ha-Shulchan tries to explain that both the standard explanation of Rashi and the Rosh that the mitzvah to eat is to help the fast is not a stira to the reason that eating increases the inuy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-55781661416232630102007-09-17T12:43:00.000-04:002007-09-17T12:43:00.000-04:00>>>that eating on erev YK makes it more difficult ...>>>that eating on erev YK makes it more difficult to fast and therefore increases the inuy <BR/><BR/>Since you mention it, I kept saying yesterday that if a little eating on erev y.k is supposed to increase your inuy, 3 days of feasting before tzom gedalya did not make the fast any easier : )Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-52217331505365906142007-09-17T12:29:00.000-04:002007-09-17T12:29:00.000-04:00I dont think this is so surprising -- it parallels...I dont think this is so surprising -- it parallels the other drasha from the pasuk of be-tishah ba-chodesh ba-erev, i.e., the din of tosefes, which clearly is only samuch to yom tov itself. Now in this case it is all day, and not just right before yom tov but I thought that both derashos reflect on a certain level that the kedusha of YK extends back into erev YK -- which is manifested both in tosefes and the mitzvah to eat. (This is the beginning of the approach to explain the fact that the rishonim -- rif, rosh and others -- quote both derashos la-halach -- ve-ein kan mekomo). <BR/><BR/>Also for the other well known reason for eating on YK cited by the ARuch ha-shulchan and his son the TOrah Temimah, that eating on erev YK makes it more difficult to fast and therefore increases the inuy --- that sevara would also only apply on the day of erev YK and not the night before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
