Th e Gemara asks: But if that is the case, the contradic- For them it also does not override Rambam explains that the Sages instituted ordinances to ָה ֵני ַּתְר ֵּתי; ְ ּד ָת ָנא ֲח ָדא: ָּכל ָה ָﬠם ִמוֹל ִיכין -tion between these two sources is diffi cult, as it was taught in prevent the Jews from splitting into sects where some seg ֶאת ּלו ְל ֵב ֶיהן ְל ַהר ַה ַּבִית, ְו ַת ְנָיא ִא ָיד ְך: one mishna: All the people bring their lulavim to the Temple -ments of the people practice one custom and other seg ְל ֵבית ַה ְּכ ֶנ ֶסת. ּו ְמ ָתְר ִצ ַינן: ָּכאן – ִּבְז ַמן Mount on Friday, and it was taught in another mishna that they ments either do not practice it or practice another custom bring their lulavim to the synagogue.

Therefore, in the Diaspora the practice bring their lulavim to the synagogue, it is referring to when the is not to take the lulav on Shabbat, since in ancient times it Temple is not standing. Based on the above, when the Temple is was never the practice to take the lulav on Shabbat due to not in existence the mitzva of lulav does not override Shabbat. the uncertainty concerning the correct date of the Festival. Based on the conclusion of the Gemara here, apparently Th e Gemara resolves the contradiction: No, both this mishna and the practice in Temple times in the outlying areas of Eretz לֹא, ִא ִידי ְו ִא ִידי – ִּבְז ַמן ׁ ֶש ֵּבית ַה ִּמ ְקָ ּד ׁש that mishna are referring to Eretz Yisrael when the Temple is in Yisrael was not to take the lulav on Shabbat so as not to ַקָיּים, ְו ָלא ַק ׁ ְשָיא: ָּכאן – ַּב ִּמ ְקָ ּד ׁש, ָּכאן – deviate from the custom of the rest of Jewry.

Here, where the ַּב ְּג ּבו ִלין. mishna says that they bring their lulavim to the Temple Mount, it even today, the lulav is not taken in Eretz Yisrael on Shabbat, is referring to the procedure in the Temple.
