Commentary for Avodah Zarah 95:7
מתקיף לה רב אשי ממאי דרבי יוסי בר יהודה ורבנן בתוספת פליגי דלמא תוספת לדברי הכל אסור ובעיקרו פליגי
R. Ashi attacked this explanation: How do we know that R. Yose b. Judah and the Rabbis differ on the question of the new growth? Perhaps they all agree that it is prohibited, and they disagree about the trunk itself!
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
R. Ashi attacks Shmuel’s resolution. He holds that all tannaim, both the sages and R. Yose b. Judah, hold that the additional growth is prohibited. The disagreement is only over whether the part that grew before it was worshipped is also prohibited. So why then say that Shmuel agrees only with R. Yose b. Judah?
The essence of this section is really a discussion of the dispute between R. Yose b. Judah and the sages. Do the sages hold that even the new growth is prohibited (like Shmuel impl ies)?Does R. Yose b. Judah hold that the whole tree is prohibited?
