7)[line 27]והא א"ר אליעזר...V'HA AMAR REBBI ELIEZER...- Since Rebbi Eliezer maintains that one must eat fourteen meals in the Sukah, the make-up meal on Shemini Atzeres must also be in the Sukah. This, however, is forbidden due to Bal Tosif - one may not add on to the Mitzvah of Sukah!

17)[line 8]עשה סוכה בחגASAH SUKAH B'CHAG- he build a Sukah during [the seven days of] Sukos
18)[line 13]לולבו של חבירוLULAVO SHEL CHAVEIRO - his friend's Lulav (ARBA MINIM)
(a)Every adult Jewish male must hold four types of branches or fruits on the first day of Sukos. These four species consist of Pri Etz Hadar (an Esrog; a citron, which is closely related to the lemon), Kapos Temarim (a Lulav; a branch from a palm tree cut prior to the opening and spreading of its leaves), Anaf Etz Avos (Hadasim; myrtle branches) and Arvei Nachal (Aravos; willow branches) (Vayikra 23:40). It is customary to hold one Esrog, one Lulav, three Hadasim, and two Aravos. The Esrog is held in the left hand, whereas the other three species are held together in the right.
(b)According to Torah law, these species must be taken only on the first day of Sukos anywhere but in the Beis ha'Mikdash. Once the Beis ha'Mikdash was destroyed, Rebbi Yochanan ben Zakai decreed that all of Klal Yisrael should take them for all seven days of Sukos in commemoration of the way in which they were taken in the Mikdash.
(c)One must own his set of Arba Minim in order to fulfill the Biblical commandment on the first day of Sukos. It is insufficient to borrow a set, even with the permission of the owner. This is because the Torah commands that one take the Lulav etc. "for yourself" (ibid.).
19)[line 21]אזרחEZRACH- member
20)[line 22]כל ישראל ראוים לישב בסוכה אחתKOL YISRAEL RE'UYIM LEISHEV B'SUKAH ACHAS- It is possible for all of Klal Yisrael to sit in one Sukah. It is impossible, however, for all of them to own a stake in that Sukah that is worth a Shavah Perutah - the minimum worth of value. It must therefore be that some of them are sitting in a borrowed Sukah.
21)[line 26]גר שנתגייר בינתיםGER SHE'NISGAYER BEINTAYIM- one who converted to Judaism during Sukos [and is therefore unable to dwell in a Sukah for all seven days of Sukos that year]

26)[line 35]"[וַיֹּאמֶר,] 'מַדּוּעַ אַתְּ הֹלֶכֶת אֵלָיו הַיּוֹם, לֹא חֹדֶשׁ וְלֹא שַׁבָּת?' ...""[VA'YOMER,] 'MADU'A AT HOLECHES ELAV HA'YOM, LO CHODESH V'LO SHABBOS?' ..." - "And he said [to his wife], 'Why are you going to [Elisha] today? It is neither Rosh Chodesh nor Shabbos!' ..." (Melachim II 4:23) (ELISHA RESURRECTS A CHILD)
(a)A Shunamis woman built a special room containing a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp to accommodate the Navi Elisha when he was in that area. In gratitude, Elisha asked how he could return the favor, but she insisted that she desired no recompense. Elisha's servant Geichazi pointed out that she and her husband were childless. Elisha promised them a child, which indeed came to pass as a result of his prayers on their behalf.
(b)After a number of years the child died of sunstroke. His mother placed him on Elisha's bed and closed the door of the room. She then prepared to set out to Elisha. Her husband was unaware that anything untoward had occurred.
(c)From his question in response to her setting out, our Gemara derives that it is proper to visit one's Rebbi on Shabbos, Rosh Chodesh [and Yom Tov (see Insights)].
(d)When Elisha heard what had occurred, he hurried back to the house, prayed to HaSh-m, and miraculously brought the child back to life. The child grew up to become Chabakuk ha'Navi.
