Summary

Mishna:

The Chalil [a fife; a musical instrument] is played for five or six days of Yom Tov (up til here is the original mishna which was very brief. Here the mishna adds an explanation). This is the Chalil of Beis Hashoeiva, which overrides neither Shabbos nor Yom Tov*.

Gemara:

We Learned: Rav Yehuda and Rav Eina disagreed: One of them teaches that the celebration was called the Celebration of Shoeiva [Drawing]** and one of them teaches that it was called the Chashuva [Significant] Celebration [since it was taught orally, this difference came up].

Mar Zutra: The one who taught Shoeiva is not in error, and the one who taught Chashuva is not in error (although only one is correct, there is justification for each version).

Justification for Shoeiva: The possuk “[Ush’avtem] And you shall draw water with joy from the wells of salvation”.

Justification for Chashuva: As Rav Nachman said: It is a significant mitzvah [chashuva] which originates from the six days of Creation (39.3).

* Tosfos: Playing an instrument is only D’rabbanan which is generally overridden in the Mikdash. But here it is not a necessary part of the Avodah, only a display of excessive simcha.

* *Tosfos: The Yerushalmi adds that they also drew Ruach Hakodesh from the simcha there.
