Beitzah

this is harm.1 Raba said in R. Hisda's name who said in the name of R. Huna: The halachah is as Rabbi, viz., that it is forbidden.2 Our Rabbis taught: If a Festival fell on a Sabbath, Beth Shammai Say: He must pray eight [benedictions]3 and recite [the benediction] of the Sabbath separately and of the Festival separately; but Beth Hillel say: He must pray seven [benedictions]4 beginning with the Sabbath [formula] and ending with the Sabbath [formula],5 and he makes mention of the holiness of the day in the middle.6 Rabbi says: He should also conclude it [the benediction] ‘Who sanctifieth the Sabbath, Israel and the Seasons.’ A tanna recited in the presence of Rabina: ‘Who sanctifieth Israel and the Sabbath7 and the Seasons.’ He said to him: Does then Israel sanctify the Sabbath?8 The Sabbath has already been sanctified [from the creation] and so continues! Say rather: ‘Who sanctifieth the Sabbath, Israel and the Seasons.’ R. Joseph said: The halachah is as Rabbi and as Rabina explained it. Our Rabbis taught: If a Sabbath falls on a New Moon or on the intermediate days of a Festival,9 at the evening, morning and afternoon services he prays seven [benedictions]10 and makes mention of the nature of the day11 in the ‘Abodah,12 and if he did not recite [it], he is made to turn back;13 R. Eliezer says: [He alludes to the day] in the Thanksgiving [benediction],14 while in the Additional Services15 he begins with the Sabbath [formula] and closes with the Sabbath [formula], and makes mention of the holiness of the day in the middle.16 R. Simeon b. Gamaliel and R. Ishmael son of R. Johanan b. Beroka say: Whenever one is obliged to say seven benedictions17 he begins with the Sabbath [formula] and closes with the Sabbath [formula] and mentions the holiness of the day in the middle. Said R. Huna: The halachah is not as that pair [of scholars].18 R. Hiyya b. Ashi in Rab's name said: A man may prepare a boundary ‘erub on the first day of a Festival19 for the second and stipulate.20 Raba said: A man may prepare an ‘erub tabshilin on the first day of a Festival for the second and stipulate.21 He who states a boundary ‘erub, all the more an ‘erub tabshilin’ while he who states an ‘erub tabshilin, but not a boundary ‘erub. What is the reason? Because one may not acquire a [Sabbath] residence on a ‘Sabbath’.22 Our Rabbis taught: One may not bake on the first day of a Festival for the second. In truth they said:23 A woman may fill the whole pot with meat although she only needs one portion; a baker may fill a barrel with water although he only needs one handful,24 but as for baking he may bake only what he needs. R. Simeon b. Eleazar says: A housewife may fill the entire oven with loaves, because bread is baked better in a full oven. Said Raba: The halachah is as R. Simeon b. Eleazar. The scholars asked: He who did not set an ‘erub tabshilin is he forbidden [to bake for the Sabbath] and [likewise] his flour is forbidden,25 or perhaps only he is forbidden, but his flour is not forbidden? What is the practical difference? — Whether he must give up his flour to others.26 If you say that [both] he is forbidden and [likewise] his flour is forbidden, then he must give his flour to others,27 but if you say, he is forbidden but his flour is not forbidden, [then] he need not give up his flour to others. What [is the law]? — Come and hear: He who has not set an ‘erub tabshilin may neither bake nor cook nor store [food] away28 neither for himself nor for others; nor may others bake or cook for him. What should he do? He gives up his flour to others [and these] bake and cook for him — Conclude therefrom that he is forbidden and [likewise] his flour is forbidden. It is thus concluded. The scholars asked: What if he transgressed and baked?29 Come and hear: He who has not set an ‘erub tabshilin what is he to do? He gives up his flour to others and [these] others bake and cook for him. Sabbath formula. found in ubk i,,u v.

His ruling, however, that the close at the Additional Service is only with the Sabbath formula, is not adopted as halachah, for in that respect the halachah is as Rabbi that the conclusion is, ‘Who sanctifieth the Sabbath, Israel and the seasons (or the New Moon)’ — Rashi.] extra labour.
