Suka 54a
Elul 5, 5783. August 22, 2023
1- Shiur was on the line in our Mishna that ‘48 is the maximum number of תקיעות’ there were sounded on one day in the בית המקדש.
That occurred once a year on a Friday חול המועד Sukos.
| Opening the gates | 3 |
| Morning Tomid | 9 |
| Evening Tomid | 9 |
| Musaf Sukkos | 9 |
| Friday afternoon – stop working | 6 |
| Water – Upper gate | 3 |
| Water – Lower gate | 3 |
| Entering w/ the water | 3 |
| Arovos/ Mizbe’ach | 3 |
| Total | 48 |
2- The גמרא discusses the possibility of reaching a number above 48.
We went over a chart of the various days where the number of 48 can perhaps be exceeded.

3- We mentioned Reb Yosef Engel’s question. At the beginning of every month, upon announcing that ‘today is ראש חודש’, a תקיעה was blown.
So why does the גמרא not take into account the תקיעה on ראש השנה which was sounded due to fact that it is also ראש חודש!
4- Discussed briefly the הלכה if one is Davening שמונה עשרה of מנחה while the ציבור is Davening שמונה עשרה of מעריב. Or Shacharis while the מנין is up to מוסף.
Is that considered תפילה בציבור?
Definitely not says the Alter Rebbe here. OC 90, 10
ואם מתפלל מוסף בשעה שהצבור מתפללין שחרית או להיפך אינו נקרא בשעה שהצבור מתפללין
See also מגן אברהם and ט”ז. Here. OC 236
