Rosh Hashanah 30A

ועם בית דין. מאי ועם בית דין? בפני בית דין, לאפוקי שלא בפני בית דין ⁠— דלא.

And they would sound the shofar on Shabbat with the court. Rav Huna’s brief statement is obscure, and therefore the Talmud asks: What is the meaning of the phrase: With the court? It means: In the presence of the court, i.e., in the place where the court convenes. This comes to exclude any place that is not in the presence of the court, as the shofar is not sounded there.

מתיב רבא: ועוד זאת היתה ירושלים יתירה על יבנה וכו׳. מאי ועוד זאת? אילימא כדקתני ⁠— ״זאת״ מיבעי ליה. אלא: דבירושלים תוקעין יחידין, וביבנה אין תוקעין יחידין.

§ Rava raised an objection from the Mishnah: And Jerusalem had this additional superiority over Yavne. What is the meaning of the phrase: And this additional? If we say that it is referring only to that which it teaches in the Mishnah, it should have simply said: This, without mentioning that it is an additional superiority. Rather, it indicates that in Jerusalem even private individuals sound the shofar on Shabbat, whereas in Yavne individuals do not sound it, but only agents of the court.

וביבנה אין תוקעין יחידין? והא כי אתא רב יצחק בר יוסף, אמר: כי מסיים שליחא דציבורא תקיעה ביבנה ⁠— לא שמע איניש קל אוניה מקל תקועיא דיחידאי.

And this too is difficult: Don’t individuals sound the shofar in Yavne? But when Rav Yitzḥak bar Yosef came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said: When the prayer leader completed the sounding of the shofar in Yavne, nobody could hear the sound of his own voice in his ears due to the noise of the sounding of individuals. After the leader of the congregation finished sounding on behalf of the entire community, many individuals would take out their shofars and blast them, which created a loud noise. This indicates that individuals would sound the shofar on Shabbat even in Yavne.
