etrog

But behold both R. Gamaliel and R. Eliezer agree that as regards the Sabbatical Year the etrog's status is determined by the time of its blossoming, as we have learned, The etrog is like a tree in three respects, and like a vegetable in one.

in that its tithing is determined by the time of its picking, the words of Rabban Gamaliel. R. Eliezer ruled: The etrog is like a tree in all respects.

He holds the opinion as this (the following) Tanna, as it has been taught: R. Yose stated: Avtulmos testified in the name of five elders that the tithing of the etrog depends upon [the time of its] picking. But our Rabbis voted in Usha and said [that this applies] both to tithing and the Sabbatical Year.

But who mentioned the Sabbatical Year? There is something missing in the text, and so it should be read: The tithing of the etrog depends upon [the time of its] picking, and its subjection to the laws of the Sabbatical Year depends on [the time of its] blossoming. But our Rabbis voted in Usha and said that ... the etrog is dependent on the time of its picking as regards both tithing and the Sabbatical Year.

like that which Rava said: [If one say to his fellow], "Here is an etrog [as a gift] on condition that you return it to me," and the latter took it and fulfilled his obligation with it, if he returned it, he has fulfilled his obligation, , but if he did not return it, he has not fulfilled his obligation.

Immediately the children [throw down their lulavs and eat their etrogs]. R. Yohanan said: The etrog is forbidden on the seventh day, and permitted on the eighth; the Sukkah is forbidden even on the eighth And Resh Lakish said: The etrog is permitted even on the seventh day.

R. Papa said to Abaye: To R. Yohanan what is the difference between the Sukkah and the etrog?

He said to him: The Sukkah is fit to be used at twilight [after the seventh day], for if he by chance has a meal at that time he would have to sit in it and eat therein, therefore it is set aside for its ritual purpose during twilight, and since it is set aside during twilight, it is also set aside for the whole of the eighth day. The etrog, however, which is not suitable during twilight, is not set aside for its ritual purpose during twilight, hence it is not set aside for the whole day.

But Levi said: The etrog is forbidden even on the eighth day; And the father of Shmuel said The etrog is forbidden on the seventh day, but permitted on the eighth. The father of Shmuel subsequently adopted the view of Levi. R. Zera adopted the [earlier] view of the father of Samuel, for R. Zera ruled:... It is forbidden to eat an etrog [even one] that has become invalid, all the seven days.
