“There is no

<<breach” —

<<that not

<<should be

<<our company

<<like the company

<<of

<<David,

<<that went out

<<from it

<<Achitofel.

<<“And no

<<going out” —

<<that not

<<should be

<<our company

<<like the company

<<of

<<Shaul,

<<that went out

<<from it

<<Doeg

<<the Edomite.

<<“And no

<<outcry” —

<<that not

<<should be

<<our company

<<like the company

<<of

<<Elisha,

<<that went out

<<from it

<<Gechazi.

<<“In our streets” —

<<that not

<<should there be

<<to us

<<a son

<<or

<<a student

<<who burns

<<his dish

<<in public,

<<such as

<<Yeshu

<<the Nazarene.

“Listen

<<to Me,

<<stubborn

<<of heart,

<<who are far

<<from righteousness” —

<<Rav

<<and Shmuel,

<<and some say:

<<Rabbi Yochanan

<<and Rabbi Elazar.

<<One

<<said:

<<all

<<the world,

<<all of it,

<<is sustained

<<by charity,

<<and they

<<are sustained

<<by force.

<<And one

<<said:

<<all

<<the world,

<<all of it,

<<is sustained

<<by their merit,

<<and they

<<even

<<by the merit of

<<themselves

<<are not

<<sustained,

<<as Rav Yehuda

<<in the name of

<<Rav.

For Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav:

<<each and every day

<<a heavenly voice

<<goes out

<<from Mount

<<Chorev

<<and says:

<<all

<<the world,

<<all of it,

<<is sustained

<<for the sake of

<<Chanina

<<my son,

<<and Chanina

<<my son —

<<enough

<<for him

<<is a kav

<<of carobs

<<from the eve of

<<Shabbos

<<to the eve of

<<Shabbos.

And it disagrees with

<<that of Rav Yehuda.

<<For Rav Yehuda said:

<<who are

<<“the stubborn

<<of heart”?

<<The Govaeans,

<<the fools.

<<Rav Yosef said:

<<Know it,

<<for indeed

<<not

<<has converted

<<a convert

<<from among them.

Rav Ashi said:

<<the people of

<<the town of

<<Mechasya

<<“the stubborn

<<of heart”

<<are they,

<<for

<<they see

<<the glory

<<of the Torah

<<two

<<times

<<a year,

<<and not

<<does convert

<<a convert

<<from among them.

“A groom,

<<if

<<he wishes

<<to recite,”

<<etc.

Is that to say

<<that Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<is concerned

<<about presumption,

<<and the Rabbis

<<not

<<are concerned

<<about presumption?

<<But surely

<<the reverse

<<we have heard

<<from them!

<<As we learned:

<<a place

<<where they were accustomed

<<to do

<<work

<<on the Ninth

<<of Av,

<<they do [it];

<<a place

<<where they were accustomed

<<not

<<to do,

<<they do not

<<do [it].

<<And in every

<<place,

<<Torah scholars

<<are idle.

<<Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<says:

<<always

<<should make

<<every

<<person

<<himself

<<like a Torah scholar.

It is difficult:

<<that of the Rabbis

<<against that of the Rabbis;

<<it is difficult:

<<that of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<against that of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel!

Rabbi Yochanan said:

<<reversed is

<<the line.

<<Rav Sheisha son of Rav Idi

<<said:

<<actually,

<<do not

<<reverse.

<<That of the Rabbis

<<against that of the Rabbis

<<is not difficult:

<<the Shema —

<<since

<<everyone

<<is

<<reciting,

<<and he

<<too

<<recites,

<<not

<<does it appear

<<as presumption.

<<Here,

<<since

<<everyone

<<does

<<work,

<<and he

<<not

<<is

<<doing,

<<it appears

<<as presumption.

That of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<against that of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<is not difficult:

<<there,

<<on intent

<<depends

<<the matter,

<<and we

<<are witnesses

<<that not

<<he is able

<<to direct

<<his mind.

<<But

<<here,

<<one who sees

<<says:

<<work

<<it is

<<that there is not

<<for him.

<<Go out

<<and see

<<how many

<<idlers

<<there are

<<in the market.

We shall return to you,

<<‘One who was reciting’.

MISHNAH:

<<One

<<whose dead

<<lies

<<before him

<<is exempt

<<from the Shema

<<and from

<<the prayer

<<and from

<<the tefillin,

<<and from all

<<the mitzvos

<<stated

<<in the Torah.

The bearers of

<<the bier

<<and their replacements,

<<and the replacements of

<<their replacements —

<<those

<<who are before

<<the bier

<<and those

<<who are after

<<the bier:

<<those

<<who are before

<<the bier,

<<[whose] need

<<is for them,

<<are exempt;

<<and those

<<who are after

<<the bier,

<<[even if] need

<<is for them,

<<are obligated.

<<And these

<<and those

<<are exempt

<<from

<<the prayer.

They buried

<<the dead

<<and returned:

<<if

<<they are able

<<to begin

<<and to finish

<<before

<<they arrive

<<at the row,

<<they should begin;

<<and if

<<not,

<<not

<<should they begin.

Those who stand

<<in the row:

<<the inner ones

<<are exempt,

<<and the outer ones

<<are obligated.

<<Women

<<and slaves

<<and minors

<<are exempt

<<from the Shema

<<and from

<<the tefillin,

<<and are obligated

<<in prayer

<<and in mezuzah

<<and in Grace after Meals.

GEMARA:

<<“Lies

<<before him” —

<<yes;

<<but one that is not

<<lying

<<before him,

<<no.

And they contrasted it:

<<one

<<whose dead

<<lies

<<before him

<<eats

<<in a house

<<other;

<<and if

<<there is not

<<for him

<<a house

<<other,

<<he eats

<<in the house of

<<his fellow;

<<and if

<<there is not

<<for him

<<the house of

<<his fellow,

<<he makes

<<a partition

<<and eats;

<<and if

<<there is not

<<for him

<<anything

<<to make

<<a partition,

<<he turns

<<his face

<<and eats.

<<And he does not

<<recline

<<and eat,

<<and he does not

<<eat

<<meat

<<and he does not

<<drink

<<wine,

<<and he does not

<<bless,

<<and he does not

<<invite [to zimun].
