| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:52 | comment | added | rosends | The braita initially only draws a distinction in the diaspora of the haftara for the first two days. Another question would be why, when the later Rabbis changed the readings, did they move the moadot to the second day of Pesach. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:46 | comment | added | rosends | Yes, but the Rambam writes "בפסח, בפרשת המועדות שבתורת כוהנים. וכבר נהגו העם, לקרות ביום טוב ראשון "משכו"" and Rashi seems to hint to an earlier practice in the last line of his comment on 31a " ויום טוב שני קורין כיום ראשון שור או כשב: " | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:35 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | ??? The Talmud lists the readings for Pesach explicitly, even with a mnemonic which if it worked well is משוך בתורא מקדש בכספא פסול במדברא שלח בוכרא which is 8 different readings | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:34 | comment | added | rosends | Actually, it seems that the original practice was to read shor o kesev on both of the first 2 days of Pesach but that minhag was changed, so the precedent for changing the second (or actually first) day of Yom Tov exists. And as to reading Dev 16 on Shmini Atzeret, that calls a different question -- why isn't the laining on S"A from Vayikra 23 as that's the spot which explicitly mentions the holiday. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:14 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Devarim 16 is being read 6 days later anyway so you'd probably ask the same question if we read that. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 12:13 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | The second day of Pesach already has a designated reading, even in Israel. No question can be brought from there. Every other extra diasporan day of Yom Tov gets Devarim 16 | |
