Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

ברכות כז,ב

אמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל מתפלל אדם של מוצאי שבת בשבת ואומר הבדלה על הכוס Rav Yehudah says in the name of Shmuel a person can daven the tefila of motzei shabbos on shabbos and make havdoloh. How can you do work when it is still shabbos? It is paskened in SA O’CH 293,3 that if someone must rush out on motzei shabbos for a mitzva, he can daven and make havdoloh without candles and not do any work until night. The RMA says that we should pull slowly והוא רחום in order to postpone the time when shabbos is out for the souls returning to gehinom. Over here it is beneficial to follow the Rabbenu Taam to have an excuse, if needed, to return to the gehinom later.
