One day or two? Shofar on Shabbos? Larry & Yochanan Gordon debate Rabbi Lichtenstein | BTL Ep. 49
Larry and Esta bring Rabbi Shmuel Lichtenstein of Kollel Avreich and Yochanan Gordon, Associate Editor of 5TJT, into a debate that gets surprisingly heated over one question: how many days of Yom Tov do you actually have to keep?
It’s not as simple as it sounds once the first day of Yom Tov lands on Shabbat. Larry and Yochanan go back and forth with the rabbi on who keeps one day and who keeps two, what changes for someone who lives in one place but happens to be somewhere else for the chag, and how shofar and lulav on Shabbat factor into the whole mess. Everyone’s got a case for their side, and the rabbi has to actually defend the halacha, not just state it.
If you’ve ever been unsure whether you’re a one-day guy or a two-day guy depending on where you happen to be standing, this episode is for you.
