Last Shabbos, someone came over to me, not this past Shabbos, a week and a half ago, when we just started saying the same telemata, someone came over to me after shkia,

And he said, I just realized I forgot for St.

Talamatar in Mincha.

So do I have to daven?

Double Mariv, recognizing that there is no St.

Halamater in Friday night tefillah.

Right?

A good Shiloh.

Who's going to answer that at the house minion?

Truth is, I didn't know the answer, even in shul, but don't tell anybody.

Okay, question number five.

How seriously do we take the rule of kol psuket lo paskimosha, anan lo paskinan, given that we're strict about it in places like Kiddush and Hagba, yet in songs and even in the Gemara, we often split psukim.

Yeah, this comes up in the Sugi Masachas Megillah, where the Gemara talks about how we managed to get two aliyot out of just five psukim on Rosh Chodesh.

So it is a machlokas, that on the one hand, Rav says doleg, and Shmuel says poseik.

So Rav says to do what we do, to repeat one of the psukim, and Shmuel says to just cut one of the psukim in half.

So Gemara says that Rav doesn't want to say like Shmuel, that any Pasuk that Moshe Rabbeinu did not split, we're also not supposed to split.

However, according to Shmuel, that if it's not possible, then we do split the Pasuk.

So he views it as something that's not possible in that case, so it's the only option.

And therefore, that's basically the guiding principle, that we don't splipsukim, and yet there's an allowance that when it's not really possible any other way, we do splipsukim.

So that already is the first indication that maybe this halacha is...
