Rava

<<said:

<<It is not a difficulty:

<<this

<<is for us,

<<and this

<<is for them.

Rav Papi

<<happened

<<to the house of

<<Mar Shmuel.

<<They brought

<<him

<<porridge,

<<and he did not

<<eat.

<<But perhaps

<<in a mortar

<<that is small

<<they made it?

<<For he saw it,

<<that it was

<<fine

<<very.

But perhaps

<<yesterday

<<they made it?

<<For he saw it,

<<that

<<was bright

<<its sheen.

<<And if you wish, say:

<<different is

<<the house of

<<Mar Shmuel,

<<where there is

<<laxity

<<of the servants.

MISHNAH:

<<One who sorts

<<legumes

<<on Yom Tov —

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<he selects

<<food

<<and eats [it];

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<he sorts

<<in his usual way,

<<in his lap,

<<with a basket

<<or with a bowl,

<<but

<<not

<<with a board,

<<nor

<<with a sifter,

<<nor

<<with a sieve.

<<Rabban Gamliel

<<says:

<<he may even

<<rinse

<<and skim.

GEMARA:

<<It is taught:

<<Rabban Gamliel said:

<<in what case is this said?

<<When the food

<<is more

<<than

<<the waste;

<<but [when]

<<the waste

<<is more

<<than

<<the food,

<<all agree

<<he takes

<<the food

<<and leaves

<<the waste.

The waste

<<is more

<<than

<<the food —

<<is

<<there

<<anyone

<<who permits?

<<It is necessary only

<<where it is greater

<<in effort

<<and smaller

<<in quantity.

‘Rabban Gamliel

<<says:

<<he may even

<<rinse

<<and skim.’

<<It is taught:

<<Rabbi Elazar son of Rabbi Tzadok said:

<<thus

<<was

<<the custom

<<of

<<the house of Rabban Gamliel:

<<that they would

<<bring

<<a bucket

<<full of

<<lentils

<<and pour

<<over it

<<water,

<<and there would be

<<food

<<below

<<and waste

<<above.

But it is taught

<<the opposite!

<<It is not a difficulty:

<<this

<<is with dust,

<<that

<<with husks.

MISHNAH:

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<one may not

<<send

<<on Yom Tov

<<except

<<portions [of food];

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<one may send

<<a domestic animal,

<<an undomesticated animal

<<or a bird,

<<whether

<<alive

<<or

<<slaughtered.

<<One may send

<<wines,

<<oils,

<<fine flours

<<and legumes,

<<but

<<not

<<grain.

<<And Rabbi Shimon

<<permits

<<grain.

GEMARA:

<<Taught

<<Rav Yechiel:

<<provided

<<that he not

<<make it

<<a procession.

<<It was taught:

<<there is no

<<procession

<<of fewer

<<than three

<<people.

<<Asked

<<Rav Ashi:

<<three

<<men

<<and three

<<kinds —

<<what [is the law]?

<<Let it stand.

‘Rabbi Shimon

<<permits

<<grain.’

<<It is taught:

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<permits

<<grain,

<<such as

<<wheat

<<to make

<<from it

<<ludiyos [a dish],

<<barley

<<to put

<<before

<<his animal,

<<lentils

<<to make

<<from them

<<crushed [lentils].

MISHNAH:

<<One may send

<<garments,

<<whether

<<sewn

<<or

<<not sewn,

<<and even though

<<there are

<<in them

<<kilayim,

<<provided they are

<<for the need of

<<the festival;

<<but

<<not

<<a sandal

<<studded with nails,

<<nor

<<a shoe

<<that is not

<<sewn.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<also

<<not

<<a shoe

<<that is white,

<<because

<<it needs

<<a craftsman.

<<This

<<is the rule:

<<anything

<<that one benefits from

<<on Yom Tov,

<<one may send

<<it.

GEMARA:

<<Granted,

<<sewn ones

<<are fit

<<for wearing;

<<ones not sewn

<<too

<<are fit

<<for covering oneself;

<<but

<<kilayim —

<<for what

<<are they fit?

And if you say

<<they are fit

<<to spread

<<beneath him,

<<but it is taught:

<<‘shall not

<<come up

<<upon you’ —

<<but

<<you

<<may

<<spread it

<<beneath you.

<<But

<<said

<<the Sages:

<<it is prohibited

<<to do

<<so,

<<lest

<<wrap around him

<<a thread

<<on

<<his flesh.

And if you say

<<that he separates [with]

<<something

<<in between —

<<but did not Rabbi Shimon ben Pazi say,

<<[in the name of]

<<Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi,

<<[in the name of]

<<Rabbi Yosei ben Shaul,

<<[in the name of]

<<Rebbi,

<<in the name of

<<the holy community

<<in Jerusalem:

<<even

<<ten

<<mattresses

<<one on top of the other

<<with kilayim

<<beneath them —

<<it is prohibited

<<to sleep

<<on them

<<(because

<<it is said:

<<‘shall not

<<come up

<<upon you’).

Rather,

<<with a curtain.

<<But did not Ulla say:

<<why

<<did they say

<<a curtain

<<is prohibited [for kilayim]?

<<Because

<<the attendant

<<warms himself

<<against it.
