Mishna perek 3

What happens if the new moon was seen, the עדים  were accepted, but the Bais din for whatever reason did not declare מקודש. When is ראש חדש?

• that day is still considered Rosh chodesh

• Rosh chodesh will be the next day

• there wil be no Rosh chodesh that month

• they have to find new witnesses

If בית דין sees the moon themselves, do they still need witnesses to come and tell them?

• Yes, the members of bais din cannot be witnesses

• No, they canjust decide by themselves that it is Rosh chodesh

• No, Two of the Bais din members become the witnesses and the others remain the bais din

• Yes, the members of bais din have to make sure that they don't see the moon

What is the difference between a קרן and a שופר?

• A keren is not hollow, a shofar is

• A keren is hollow, a shofar is not

• There is no difference

• A keren is flat and a shofar is rounded

What is the one כשר animal that the משנה specifically forbids us to use as a שופר on Rosh Hashana?

Why can't the horn from that specific animal be used on Rosh Hashana?

• It doesn't make a loud enough sound

• it's an ugly horn and we need to beautify the mitzvah

• We don't want to remind Hashem of the sin of the golden calf

• that animal is extinct

 

In what way was the שופרitself different on ראש השנה and fast days in the בית המקדש?

• On Rosh Hashana it was black and fast days it was white

• On Rosh Hashana it had silver on it and on fast days it had gold on it

• On Rosh Hashana it was bent and on the fast days it was straight

• On Rosh Hashana it had cracks and on fast days it was glued back together

On this day, 2 trumpet blowers stood in the middle with one shofar blower at each end
