Hilchot Yerushalmi Sukkah chapter 2

I've updated the document I posted before with chapter 2, which Baruch Hashem I just finished.

Same link as before.

Hilchot Yerushalmi Sukkah

During Sukkot, I learned more of Masechet Sukkah in the Yerushalmi.  Unfortunately, time was scarce, so I was not able to learn side by side with the Bavli.  In order to make that review easier next year, I've started to compile a Rif-style summary of the Yerushalmi.

Here is chapter 1.

I didn't proof it, so please let me know if you find any typos.

A Blessing on Making the Lulav

Yerushalmi 3:4 records:

One that makes a Lulav for himself says:

Blessed... that sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to make a Lulav.

For another, one says: to make a Lulav in his name.

When he takes the Lulav, he says:

Blessed... that sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to about the taking of the Lulav.

Prays with it, he says Shecheyanu, and makes a blessing every time he takes it.

There is then a machloket as to the blessing made on the last 6 days of Sukkot:

1. The same ending
2. ending with "that commanded us on the commandments of the elders" (since it is all d'rabbanan at that point).
3. No blessing at all for the other days, like D'mai, another mitzvah d'rabbanan, has no blessing.

A Blessing on Making a Sukkah

Due to time constraints this year, I won't be able to get any side-by-side comparisons for Masechet Sukkah.

Just an interesting point here and there.

For example, Sukkah 1:2 in the Yerushalmi says that we are to make a brachah on making a sukkah:

אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו לעשות סוכה

And if one makes the sukkah for someone else:

אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו לעשות סוכה לשמו

It would seem to me, without doing a full search of the commentaries, that this is by the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer, that a person needs to use davka their own sukkah.  Otherwise, why would there be a need for the 2nd version of the brachah for makign someone elses sukkah?  I haven't gotten far enough in to the masechta to see if this pans out elsewhere.
