Question: How could she possibly select, asks the Yerushalmi, seeing as, based on the fact that the oil and the wicks were of Hekdesh, she would have been guilty of Me'ilah?

Answer: And it replies that 'Sound, sight and smell are not subject to Me'ilah'.

Question: In Perek Kol Sha'ah (Pesachim, Daf 26a & 26b) the Gemara comments that 'Even though there is no Me'ilah, it is nevertheless prohibited'?

Answer: 'She selects' is La'av Davka, but that due to the brightness of the light, she could have selected, had she wanted to.

Refuted Explanation: Rashi explains that Hillel was speaking on behalf of Hakadosh-Baruch-Hu.

Authentic Explanaton: The Yerushalmi however, implies that he was saying it with reference to himself ...

Source: Since it asks 'Since when does He require his praises?' - meaning that He does not need them, since the Pasuk states "A million angels serve Him"?

Source (cont.): And it answers that he was speaking on behalf of Yisrael, and the praises of Yisrael are more precious than all others ...

Example #1: As the Pasuk writes (in Shmuel 2, 23:1) "And the pleasant composer of the songs of Yisrael'.

Example #2: And in Tehilim (22) it writes "And You are the Holy One, enthrone upon the praises of Yisrael".

Clarification: But what the Gemara says 'If you come to My house, I will come to yours' can only refer to the Shechinah ...

Proof: Since the Gemara learns it from the Pasuk (in Yisro) "Wherever I permit My Name to be mentioned I will come to you and bless you".

Clarification of Sugya in Shabbos: This supports Rashi's explanation in Bameh Madlikin (Shabbos, Daf 35b & 26a) regarding 'The six Teki'os on Erev Shabbos', that they all followed the pattern of Teki'ah, Teru'ah Teki'ah.

Clarification (cont.): Consequently, when the Tana says there that 'They began to blow the second Teki'ah', it is La'av Davka 'Teki'ah', since really it was a Teru'ah.

Proof: Since the Mishnah states 'Three to cause the people to stop work, and Rebbi Yehudah considers them as one blast.

Clarification (cont.): And although the Gemara here says that, according to Rebbi Yehudah there is no time-lag between the Teki'ah, the Teru'ah and the Teki'ah

Clarification (concl.): This does not apply to all the cases, seeing as with regard to the notes to stop the people from working there was a large time gap between one and the other ...
