all

<<the sustenance

<<of a person

<<is allotted

<<to him

<<from Rosh Hashanah

<<until

<<Yom Kippur,

<<except

<<for expenses of

<<Shabbosos,

<<and expenses of

<<Yom Tov,

<<and expenses of

<<his children

<<for Torah study;

<<for if

<<he spent less,

<<they reduce it

<<for him,

<<and if

<<he spent more,

<<they add

<<for him.

Rabbi Abbahu said:

<<what is

<<the verse?

<<‘Blow,

<<at the new month,

<<the shofar,

<<(at the covered moon,)

<<for the day of

<<our festival’.

<<Which is

<<the festival

<<on which the moon

<<is covered?

<<You must say

<<this is

<<Rosh Hashanah;

<<and it is written:

<<‘for

<<a statute

<<for Israel

<<it is,

<<a judgment

<<of the God of

<<Yaakov’.

What

<<implies

<<that this

<<‘statute’

<<is a term

<<for sustenance

<<it is?

<<As it is written:

<<‘and they ate

<<their allotment

<<that

<<gave

<<them

<<Pharaoh’.

<<Mar Zutra

<<said:

<<from here:

<<‘feed me

<<the bread

<<of my allotment’.

It is taught:

<<they said

<<about

<<Shammai the Elder:

<<all his days

<<he would

<<eat

<<in honor of

<<Shabbos.

<<[If] he found

<<an animal

<<that was fine,

<<he would say:

<<this is

<<for Shabbos.

<<[If] he found

<<another

<<finer

<<than it,

<<he would set aside

<<the second

<<and eat

<<the first.

But

<<Hillel the Elder

<<a trait

<<different

<<he had,

<<for all

<<his deeds

<<were for the sake of Heaven,

<<as it is said:

<<‘Blessed is

<<Hashem

<<day by day’.

<<It is taught

<<also

<<so:

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<from the first day of your week

<<for your Shabbos;

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<‘Blessed is

<<Hashem

<<day by day’.

Rabbi Chama son of Rabbi Chanina said:

<<one who gives

<<a gift

<<to his fellow

<<need not

<<inform him,

<<as it is said:

<<‘and Moshe

<<did not

<<know

<<that

<<shone

<<the skin of

<<his face’.

They raised an objection:

<<‘to know

<<that

<<I

<<am Hashem,

<<who sanctifies you’ —

<<said to

<<the Holy One, Blessed be He,

<<to Moshe:

<<Moshe!

<<a gift,

<<a good one,

<<I have

<<in My treasure house,

<<and Shabbos

<<is its name,

<<and I

<<wish

<<to give it

<<to Israel;

<<go

<<and inform

<<them.

<<From here

<<Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said:

<<one who gives

<<bread

<<to a child

<<must

<<inform

<<its mother.

It is not a difficulty:

<<this

<<is with a gift

<<that is bound

<<to be revealed;

<<that

<<with a gift

<<that is not

<<bound

<<to be revealed.

<<Shabbos

<<too

<<is a gift

<<that is bound

<<to be revealed!

<<The giving of

<<its reward

<<is not

<<bound

<<to be revealed.

The Master said:

<<from here

<<Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said:

<<one who gives

<<bread

<<to a child

<<must

<<inform

<<its mother.

<<What

<<does he do

<<to it?

<<He smears

<<on it

<<oil

<<and fills

<<for it [the eyes with]

<<kohl.

<<And nowadays,

<<that we are concerned

<<about witchcraft,

<<what?

<<Rav Pappa said:

<<he smears

<<on it

<<some of that same food.

Rabbi Yochanan said

<<in the name of

<<Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai:

<<all

<<the mitzvos

<<that gave

<<them

<<the Holy One, Blessed be He,

<<to Israel,

<<He gave

<<them

<<publicly,

<<except

<<for Shabbos,

<<which He gave

<<them

<<privately,

<<as it is said:

<<‘between Me

<<and

<<the children of Israel

<<a sign

<<it is

<<forever’.

If so,

<<let not

<<be punished

<<gentiles

<<for it?

<<Shabbos

<<He did inform them of;

<<the giving of

<<its reward

<<He did not

<<inform them of.

<<And if you wish, say:

<<the giving of

<<its reward

<<too

<<He informed them of;

<<the additional

<<soul

<<He did not

<<inform them of.

For Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said:

<<an additional soul

<<gives

<<the Holy One, Blessed be He,

<<to a person

<<on Shabbos eve,

<<and at the departure of Shabbos

<<they take

<<it

<<from him,

<<as it is said:

<<‘He rested

<<and was refreshed’ —

<<once

<<he rested,

<<woe,

<<is lost

<<the soul.

‘A person makes

<<a cooked dish

<<on the eve of Yom Tov.’

<<Abaye said:

<<they did not

<<teach [this]

<<except

<<a cooked dish;

<<but

<<bread,

<<no.

What

<<is different about

<<bread

<<that it does not [count]?

<<If you say

<<something

<<eaten with bread

<<we require,

<<and bread

<<is not

<<eaten with bread —

<<but

<<porridge

<<too

<<is not

<<eaten with bread,

<<for Rabbi Zeira said:

<<these

<<Babylonians,

<<foolish,

<<who eat

<<bread

<<with bread!

<<And Rav Nechumi bar Zecharya said in the name of Abaye:

<<one may make an eiruv

<<with porridge!

<<Rather,

<<something

<<that is not

<<common

<<we require,

<<and bread

<<is common,

<<and porridge

<<is not

<<common.

Some say:

<<Abaye said:

<<they did not

<<teach [this]

<<except

<<a cooked dish;

<<but

<<bread,

<<no.

<<What is the reason?

<<If you say

<<that something

<<that is not

<<common

<<we require,

<<and bread

<<is common —

<<but

<<porridge

<<is not

<<common,

<<And Rav Nechumi bar Zecharya said in the name of Abaye:

<<one may not

<<make an eiruv

<<with porridge!

<<Rather,

<<something

<<eaten with bread

<<we require,

<<and bread

<<is not

<<eaten with bread,

<<and porridge

<<too

<<is not

<<eaten with bread,

<<for Rabbi Zeira said:

<<these

<<Babylonians,

<<foolish,

<<who eat

<<bread

<<with bread!

Taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<lentils

<<that are at the bottom of

<<a pot —

<<he may rely

<<on them

<<as

<<an eiruv tavshilin.

<<And this applies

<<where there is

<<in them

<<an olive's bulk.

<<Rav Yitzchak said

<<son

<<of Rav Yehuda:

<<fat

<<that is on

<<the knife —

<<he scrapes it off

<<and relies

<<on it

<<as

<<an eiruv tavshilin.

<<And this applies

<<where there is

<<in it

<<an olive's bulk.

Rav Assi said in the name of Rav:

<<fish

<<that are small

<<[and] salted

<<are not subject to [the prohibition]

<<of

<<food cooked by gentiles.

<<Rav Yosef said:

<<and if

<<roasted them

<<a gentile,

<<one may rely

<<on them

<<as

<<an eiruv tavshilin.

<<And if

<<made them

<<a gentile

<<into a dish

<<of harsana,

<<it is prohibited.

Obviously!
