If you take a look at the Gevuras Ari, Shagasari, in Maseches Taanis daf chof amud aleph, he says a dover chodesh. He says that the Gemara asked a kasha. It says in a braisa that there were three people that had the zchus of Amud Ha'Eish and Amud Ha'Anan. The Gemara says before the pasuk says that this was like a one-time event. So how could you tell me that it happened before and after? Says the Shagasari, watch it, everybody learns this Gemara. That the Gemara is asking a kasha side from Moshe Rabbeinu and side from Nakdimon ben Gurion. It says before and after. Moshe Rabbeinu, you see it happened before. Yeshua bin Nun, you see that it happened after. Says the Shagasari, lulei demistafina, I would say that's not shat in the Gemara. The Gemara was never asking from Moshe Rabbeinu. The Gemara was only asking from Nakdimon ben Gurion. Why? It says in the pasuk it never happened before. And you see by Moshe Rabbeinu it happened, so it did not happen before. So the same base we have from after Nakdimon ben Gurion, you should have before from Moshe Rabbeinu. Says the Shagasari, that what does the pasuk say? does not say that a miracle like this never happened, but that a huge nem zecher tzeitz d'avina. And tell the Ribono shel Olam why you want to perform a miracle. And the miracle is going to be that you're going to be meshaneh the seder bereishis on such a level that the sun, which is supposed to, you know, rise in the east and set in the west, is all of a sudden not going to DO ITS THING. SO SAYS THE SHAGASARI, NAKDIMON BEN GURION IN that story, he went into the Beis Hamikdash and he davened and he davened. And he said, "Ribono shel Olam, PERFORM A MIRACLE." HE DAVENED FOR THIS MIRACLE. And the Ribono shel Olam did it. But Moshe Rabbeinu, you don't find anywhere that he davened for it. The Ribono shel Olam made a miracle. It's not a stira to what the pasuk is saying. The pasuk is not saying that such a miracle can never happen. It's l'shmaya Hashem b'koach lish. That's what the possuk says. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU FIND by Nachmanides That's something you find by Moshe Rabbeinu. So, the Shagas Aryeh the Gemara's kasha was not l'fon of Ulla. The kasha was only from Ulla. K'shma. P'shat. That's what the Shagas Aryeh says. I'm really sorry. It's mamesh beautiful. But the emes is in Rashi we find in the Gemara it's mamesh not that way. Because if you take a look at Rashi, so Rashi says "Avnei Barad." Right? That's one of the eibush shaimos that the Gemara says to answer this question. What does it mean "Avnei Barad?" So, Rashi "Lo hayu b'Moshe." The Avnei Barad is "Lo hayu b'Moshe." That "Lo hayu b'Moshe" was talking about Moshe. The Gemara's kasha was never from Moshe. The Gemara's kasha was only Nachmanides So, it should have said "Lo hayu b'Nachmanides." Now, it's interesting also that Rashi only says "Avnei Barad" by Moshe and not Nachmanides. Okay. Also, Rashi says that this didn't happen by Moshe and presumably Nachmanides also only in the second eibush shaimos in the Gemara not in the first eibush shaimos in the Gemara. So, with that up there in the Gemara this will first say the dik. But the bottom line is is that Rashi says m'foresh "Lo hayu b'Moshe." He's being m'foresh the Gemara. Which makes it sound like the Gemara's kasha l'chatchila was from Moshe as well. The Shagas Aryeh is not m'tzayan this Rashi. It's definitely a little bit of an ar'a. But we know the Shagas Aryeh was right Rav Chaim to argue with the Shainem even. But this is the way he learns. Possuk in the Gemara. Could be the kasha was never even a kasha from Moshe Rabbeinu. The whole kasha m'ikara was only a kasha from Nachmanides.
