1 [vii] you may recite two sanctities over the same cup; and [viii] this is [the ruling of] Beth Shammai as interpreted by R. Judah. R. Ashi said: [The deductions that] if he tastes it he renders it defective, and that the cup of Grace requires a [minimum] standard, are the same thing, and this is what he Says: What is the reason that once he tastes of it he renders it defective? Because the cup of Grace requires a [minimum] standard. R. Jacob b. Idi objected to a defective pitcher. R. Idi b. Shisha objected to a defective cup. Mar b. R. Ashi objected even to a defective barrel. Our Rabbis taught: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: remember it over wine. I know it only of the day; whence do we know it of the night? Because it is stated, ‘remember the Sabbath day, to keep; it holy.’ [You ask], ‘Whence do we know it of the night?’ — on the contrary, the principal kiddush is recited at night, for when he sanctifies, he must sanctify [from] the beginning of the day. Moreover, [you say,] ‘whence do we know it of the night? Because it is stated, "remember the sabbath day to keep it holy"- the Tanna seeks [proof] for the night, while he adduces a verse relating to the day[time]? — This is what he means: ‘Remember the Sabbath, day, to keep it holy’: remember it over the wine at its commencement. I know it only of the night: whence do we know it of the day? Because it is said, ‘Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. What blessing does he recite by day? -Said Rab Judah: ...who createst the fruit of the vine. R. Ashi visited Mahuza. Said they [the Mahuzaeans] to him, let the master recite the Great kiddush for us.’ They gave him [the cup of wine]. Now he pondered, What is the Great kiddush? Let us see, he reasoned, for all blessings [of kiddush] we first say ‘. . . who createst the fruit of the vine’ [So] he recited’. . .who createst the fruit of the vine,’ and tarried over it, [and then] he saw an old man bend [his head] and drink. Thereupon he applied to himself [the verse], The wise man, his eyes are in his head. The sons of R. Hiyya Said: He who did not recite habdalah at the termination of the Sabbath proceeds to recite habdalah anytime during the week. And, until when?-Said R. Zera: Until the fourth day of the week. Even as R. Zera sat before R. Assi — others state, R. Assi sat before R. Johanan — and he sat and stated: In respect to divorces the first day of the week, the second, and the third [are defined as] after the Sabbath; the fourth, the fifth, and the eve of the [Sabbath] day [rank as] before the Sabbath. R. Jacob b. Idi said: But [he does] not [recite a blessing] over the light. R. Beruna said in Rab's name:ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖᵠ
2 He who washes his hands [before eating] must not recite kiddush. Said R. Isaac b. Samuel b. Martha to them: Rab has not yet died and we have [already] forgotten his ruling! I stood many times before Rab: sometimes he preferred bread [and] recited kiddush over bread; at others he preferred wine [and] recited kiddush over wine. R. Huna said in Rab's name: Once he has tasted [food] he must not recite kiddush. R. Hana b. Hinena asked R. Huna: May he who has tasted [food] recite habdalah? I maintain, replied he, [that] he who has tasted [food] recites habdalah. But R. Assi said: He who has tasted [food] may not recite habdalah. R. Jeremiah b. Abba visited R. Assi. He forgot himself and ate something. [ Then] they gave him a cup [of wine] and he recited habdalah. Said his [R. Assi's] wife to him [R. Assi]: But you do not act thus? Leave him, replied he; he holds as his teacher. R. Joseph said in Samuel's name: He who has tasted [food] may not recite kiddush; he who has tasted [food] may not recite habdalah. But Rabbah said in R. Nahman's name in Samuel's name: He who has tasted [food] does recite kiddush; and he who has tasted [food] does recite habdalah ‘ʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸ
