SUMMARY OF THE DAF

Ta'anis 5 (heh for hashgacha - this page lists times that Hashem directly intervened in nature to make rain, or withhold rain, or when He will return to Yerushalayim etc.)

[amud aleph]
Once you start asking for rain you don't stop again until Pesach
Mishna
We keep asking for rain until: Rabbi Yehuda until the end of Pesach, Rabbi Meir until the end of Nisan
Gemara
Rav Nachman and Rav Yitzchak yoreh is in Marcheshvan, not in Nisan.
Only happened once in history that yoreh was in Nisan (in the time of Yoel)
Sadness at the time of planting (for people and for the ox), happiness at the time of reaping
7 years of famine (in the time of Yehoram ben Achav) what did they eat?
Hakadosh Baruch Hu won't return to Yerushalayim shel ma'alah until Yerushalayim shel mata is rebuilt.
It is idolatry that causes the wicked to burn in Gehinom.
[amud bet]
Kutim worship fire and Kedarim worship water yet they do not forsake their god. Israel forsake G-d.
Shmuel died aged 52 in order that he wouldn't see the end of Shaul's kingship
Rav Yitzchak says: Ya'akov Avinu never died.
Rav Yitzchak says: anyone who says Rachav, Rachav (who knew her and had relations with her) will immediately see keri
Rav Yitzchak gave
Rav Nachman the bracha of the tree in the wilderness - that all his future generations should be like him.

SUMMARY OF THE DAF

Taanis 3

Rabbi Natan nisuch hamayim from extra word nisuch
Nisuch hamayim is all 7 days according to Rabbi Yehoshua Halacha l'Moshe m'Sinai
The Rabbi Yehoshua of the Mishan is Rabbi Yehoshua ben Beteira (before he received smicha he was called by his father's name - afterwards by his own name).
Dew and wind don't need to be mentioned in prayer since they never cease.
G-d guarantees that the Jewish people will never cease just as the wind will never cease.
Rabbi Chanina - summer: said wind/don't repeat; said rain/ repeat. winter: forgot wind/don't repeat; forgot rain/repeat
pre-rain clouds never cease, post-rain clouds cease
regular rain never ceases, irregular rain ceases
rain is good if it doesn't raise dust
sunshine after rain is as good as double rain
Rava says good things about snow
