Thank you for the patient responses...hope your Pesach was wonderful....
I do have a question...........
There is a place in the gemorah that talks about the dust/lint we seen floating in front of the window when the sun is streaming in. I believe it says that those little particles are from the sun cutting across thesky and those are the little particles left by the sun as it cuts across the heavens...where is that found in the gemorah?
Thanks..

Yoma 020b, Rav Levi says: 'Why is a man's voice not heard in the daytime as well as it is at night? Because the sun's orbit "saws" the heavens like a carpenter sawing a cedar tree. And this produces the "sawdust" of the daytime.'
Rashi explains that this sawdust refers to particles which can be seen in the sun's pillar of light.
All the best
