Quoting%20commentary for Sukkah 75:6

א"ר זירא מאי קושיא דלמא מצוה לאפסוקי ואי לא פסיק יטול בין הערבים שכל היום כשר ללולב אלא אמר ר' זירא לעולם כדאמרינן מעיקרא ודקשיא לך הא דאורייתא הא דרבנן הכא ביום טוב שני דרבנן עסקינן

R. Zera said: What difficulty is this? Perhaps it is a mitzvah to interrupt [one's meal for the purpose of taking the lulav] but if he did not interrupt it he should take [the lulav] at any time before dusk, since the whole day is valid for the taking of the lulav? Rather said R. Zera: [The difficulty] is indeed as we said previously; and with regard to your difficulty one is from the Torah and one is from the rabbis, here we are dealing with the second day of the Festival when [the obligation of taking the lulav on] which is only Rabbinical.
