THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim Rosh Kollel Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL] ________________________________________________________________ Sanhedrin 108a: b'Dorosav Stuart Plaskow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked: Dear Rabbi Kornfeld, Could you please explain to me why Rashi reverses the original order, of the discussion in Sanhedrin 108a, re. B"DOROSOV Brayshis ch. 6 verse 9. (gemorra order LIGNYE ------SHVACH Rashi's order SHVACH--------LIGNYE) Best Wishes Stuart ------------ The Kollel replies: The Gemara cites Rebbi Yochanan (who explained l'Genai) before Reish Lakish (who explained "l'Shevach") because he is older, and he is always cited first. Rashi does not mention names, so he begins with Shevach, so as not to begin with Genai.
