DAF DISCUSSIONS - ERCHIN 2

Eric S. Solowitch asks:

In shiur, the Rav stated that this Gezeirah Shavah was not the source for servants being obligated in mitzvahs like a woman.

Can you please send to me the citation which states that this Gezeirah Shavah is in fact the source for this halacha.

Thank you very much.

The Kollel replies:

The source is Chagigah 4a, which discusses the obligation of servants in Aliyah l'Regel/Olas Re'iyah.

However, your Magid Shiur is correct in stating that Rashi here gives another source for the exemption - Adon Echad. Rashi's source is suggested in that Gemara in Chagigah, but eventually retracted (because Lah Lah is a better source). The SEFAS EMES wonders why Rashi didn't give Lah Lah as the source for exempting a servant here. (His answer is probably related to what we wrote in the Insights to Erchin 2a.)
