• 1. Whether You Come to Talk to God, to Your Friends or to Both, Shul is a Place For You: A Measured Call Regarding Talking in Shul (Professor L. Levine)
• 2. Amoraic statements (Rich, Joel)
• 3. Sukkah Yeshana (Rich, Joel)

Please see the article at https://goo.gl/fsMEir


IMO one of the reasons why people talk in shul is because davening on
Shabbos morning often takes a long time.  If there are speeches, Me
Shebeirachs,  announcements, etc,  then people get restless.


Of couse there are other reasons why people talk as the article points out.

Anyone know of any writings on how to think about Amoraic statements that
are not sourced but very basic (i.e., why weren't they recorded earlier)?
Two quick examples: 1.) Shmuel - dina dmalchuta dina (the law of the land
controls), 2.) Rav-Tisha achlu dagan vechad achal yerek-mitztarphin.(9 who
ate grain and 1 who ate greens combine[for a zimmun of 10]}

The Mishna in Sukkah (9a) discusses Sukkah Yeshana which one would have
thought meant an old sukkah (schach) yet the discussion in the gemara
indicates that it is an issue of lishma (intent). Why didn't the Mishna use
the language of lishma?
The gemara then posits a pasuk as the source of Beit Shammai's position,
then asks doesn't he need that pasuk for something else, and replies ein
hachi name (yes) and so quotes another pasuk instead. What was the point of
Ravina/Rav Ashi including the rejected pasuk as part of the record?
