Shabbat

He may spread them out in the sun, but not in the sight of people; R. Eleazar and R. Simeon forbid it. AND WITH THE WADDING IN HER EAR. Rami b. Ezekiel learnt: Providing it is tied to her ear. AND WITH THE WADDING IN HER SANDALS. Rami b. Ezekiel learnt: Providing it is tied to her sandal. AND WITH THE CLOTH SHE PREPARED FOR HER MENSTRUATION. Rami b. Ezekiel thought to say, Providing it is fastened between her thighs. Said Raba, Even if it is not tied to her: since it is repulsive, she will not come to carry it.  R. Jeremiah asked R. Abba: What if she made a handle for it?  — It is permitted, replied he.  It was stated likewise: R. Nahman b. Oshaia said in R. Johanan's name: [Even] if she made a handle for it, it is permitted. R. Johanan used to go out with them  to the Beth Hamidrash, but his companions disagreed with him.  R. Jannai would go out with it into a karmelith  but all his contemporaries disagreed with him. But Rami b. Ezekiel learnt: Providing it is tied to her ear?  — There is no difficulty: in the one case it is firmly placed;  in the other it was not. WITH A PEPPERCORN, AND WITH A GLOBULE OF SALT. A peppercorn is for [counteracting] the [evil] breath of the mouth; a globule of salt is for the gum. AND WITH ANYTHING THAT SHE PLACES  IN HER MOUTH. [Sc.] ginger, or cinnamon. AN ARTIFICIAL TOOTH, [OR] A GOLD TOOTH, — RABBI PERMITS BUT THE SAGES FORBID IT. R. Zera said: They taught this only of a gold [tooth], but as for a silver one, all agree that it is permitted. Abaye said: Rabbi, R. Eliezer, and R. Simeon b. Eleazar all hold that whatever detracts from a person['s appearance], one will not come to display it. Rabbi, as stated.  R. Eliezer, for it was taught: R. Eliezer declares [her] non-culpable on account of a kobeleth and a flask of spikenard oil.  R. Simeon b. Eleazar, for it was taught: R. Simeon b. Eleazar stated a general rule: Whatever is [worn] beneath the net, one may go out therewith; whatever is [worn] above the net, one may not go out with it. MISHNAH. SHE MAY GO FORTH WITH THE SELA'  ON A ZINITH [CALLUS]. YOUNG GIRLS  MAY GO OUT WITH THREADS, AND EVEN WITH CHIPS IN THEIR EARS.  ARABIAN WOMEN MAY GO FORTH VEILED, AND MEDIAN WOMEN MAY GO FORTH WITH THEIR CLOAKS THROWN OVER THEIR SHOULDERS.  INDEED, ALL PEOPLE [MAY DO LIKEWISE]. BUT THAT THE SAGES SPOKE OF NORMAL USAGE.  A WOMAN MAY WEIGHT [HER CLOAK] WITH A STONE, NUT, OR COIN, PROVIDING THAT SHE DOES NOT ATTACH THE WEIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE ON THE SABBATH. GEMARA. What is ZINITH? A growth caused by the soil.  And why particularly a sela'? Shall we say that anything hard is beneficial thereto? Then let a shard be prepared for it? Again, if it is on account of the corrosion,  let a metal foil be used? But if it is on account of the figure,  let him use any circular plate?  Said Abaye: This proves that all [these things] are beneficial for it. YOUNG GIRLS MAY GO OUT WITH THREADS. Samuel's father did not permit his daughters to go out with threads, nor to sleep together; and he made mikwa'oth  for them in the days of Nisan, and had mats placed in the days of Tishri.  'He did not permit them to go out with threads'. But we learnt, YOUNG GIRLS MAY GO OUT WITH THREADS! — The daughters of Samuel's father had coloured ones.  'He did not permit them to sleep together'. Shall we say that this supports R. Huna? For R. Huna said: Women that commit lewdness with one another are unfit for the priesthood.—
