Can the gabai wind the torah on yom tov, to prepare for shabbos' laining? How do RH's two days differ from the three holidays'? Why do the diaspora keep two days of Shavuos? When did two days of RH start to be observed in Israel? Why do we blow in Elul, and stop on erev RH? Where do we apply yotzei motzie? Is one yotzei with any combination of blasts? Why do we blow 100 blasts? Is one violating bal tosif by blowing too many blasts? Does one accomplish anything by eating a lot of matza on Pesach eve? Are the three middle blessings in musaf biblical? How do these blessings represent three tenets of our faith?
