Description
That time Shmuel HaKatan took the blame for someone else. [Who's Who: Shmuel HaKatan]. Also, that time Rabbi Hiyya took the blame for someone else. With the practical notes that intercalation for the calendar required invitation to participate in the decision-making and the ceremony -- and Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi did not like the smell of garlic. Also, Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel would proclaim the leap year - apparently, in contrast to Rabban Gamliel, who convened a committee. Plus, the reference to Rabban Gamliel's history as "nasi," and how he was removed -- plus a recognition of his personality.
