There,

<<is not

<<evident

<<the matter,

<<because

<<it is fit

<<to recline

<<on it.

<<Here,

<<he will come

<<to say:

<<what is the reason

<<permitted

<<me

<<the Rabbis?

<<So that

<<it not

<<spoil.

<<What difference is it to me

<<to spread them,

<<what difference to me

<<to salt them?

Rav Yehuda said in the name of Shmuel:

<<may salt

<<a person

<<several

<<pieces of

<<meat

<<at once,

<<even though

<<he needs

<<only

<<a piece

<<one.

<<Rav Ada bar Ahava

<<would use artifice

<<and salt

<<piece by piece.

MISHNAH:

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<one may not

<<remove

<<the shutters

<<on Yom Tov,

<<and Beis Hillel

<<permit

<<even

<<returning [them].

GEMARA:

<<What are

<<‘shutters’?

<<Ulla said:

<<shutters of

<<shops.

And Ulla said:

<<three

<<things —

<<they permitted

<<their end

<<because of

<<their beginning,

<<and these

<<are they:

<<the hide

<<before

<<those who tread [it],

<<and shutters of

<<shops,

and returning

<<a bandage

<<in the Temple.

And Rachava

<<said [in the name of]

<<Rabbi Yehuda:

<<also

<<one who opens

<<his barrel,

<<or begins

<<his dough

<<on account of

<<the festival,

and in accordance with

<<Rabbi Yehuda,

<<who said:

<<he may finish.

The hide

<<before

<<those who tread [it] —

<<we already learned it!

<<Lest you say

<<the reason

<<of Beis Hillel is

<<because

<<it is fit

<<to recline

<<on them,

<<and even

<<on the eve of Yom Tov

<<too —

<<it teaches us:

<<they permitted

<<their end

<<because of

<<their beginning:

<<of Yom Tov,

<<yes;

<<of the eve of Yom Tov,

<<no.

Shutters of

<<shops

<<too —

<<we already learned it:

<<[and Beis Hillel

<<permit

<<even

<<returning]!

<<Lest you say

<<the reason

<<of Beis Hillel is

<<because

<<there is no

<<building

<<with vessels

<<and there is no

<<demolition

<<with vessels,

<<and even

<<[shutters] of houses

<<too —

<<it teaches us:

<<they permitted

<<their end

<<because of

<<their beginning:

<<of shops,

<<yes;

<<of houses,

<<no.

Returning

<<a bandage

<<in the Temple

<<too —

<<we already learned it:

<<one may return

<<a bandage

<<in the Temple,

<<but

<<not

<<in the country!

<<Lest you say

<<the reason

<<is what?

<<Because

<<there is no

<<rabbinic restriction

<<in the Temple,

<<even

<<a kohen

<<who is not

<<fit for service

<<[may do it] —

<<it teaches us:

<<they permitted

<<their end

<<because of

<<their beginning:

<<one fit for service,

<<yes;

<<one who is not

<<fit for service,

<<no.

Opening

<<his barrel

<<too —

<<we already learned it:

<<one who opens

<<his barrel

<<or begins

<<his dough

<<on account of

<<the festival —

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<he may finish;

<<and the Sages

<<say:

<<he may not

<<finish.

Lest you say

<<the impurity of

<<an am ha'aretz

<<during the festival

<<like purity

<<made it

<<the Rabbis,

<<and even though

<<he did not

<<begin

<<too —

<<it teaches us:

<<they permitted

<<their end

<<because of

<<their beginning:

<<[if] he began,

<<yes;

<<[if] he did not

<<begin,

<<no.

And Ulla —

<<what is the reason

<<did he not

<<say

<<this?

<<About a dispute

<<he does not

<<speak.

<<Those

<<too

<<a dispute

<<are!

<<Beis Shammai

<<in the place of

<<Beis Hillel

<<is not

<<a Mishnah.

Our Mishnah

<<is not

<<like

<<this

<<tanna,

<<as it is taught:

<<Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar said:

<<agree

<<Beis Shammai

<<and Beis Hillel

<<that one may remove

<<the shutters

<<on Yom Tov;

<<they did not

<<disagree

<<except

<<about returning [them],

<<for Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<one may not

<<return [them],

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<one may even

<<return [them].

<<In what case is this said?

<<Where there is

<<to them

<<a hinge;

<<but [where]

<<there is not

<<to them

<<a hinge,

<<all agree

<<it is permitted.

But it is taught:

<<in what case is this said?

<<Where there is not

<<to them

<<a hinge;

<<but [where]

<<there is

<<to them

<<a hinge,

<<all agree

<<it is prohibited!

<<Abaye said:

<<where there is

<<to them

<<a hinge

<<on the side,

<<all agree

<<it is prohibited;

<<[where] there is not

<<to them

<<a hinge

<<at all,

<<all agree

<<it is permitted;

<<where

<<they disagree

<<is where there is

<<to them

<<a hinge

<<in the middle.
