Now, for the works that were above these foundations, these were not unworthy of such foundations; for all the cloisters were double, and the pillars to them belonging were twenty-five cubits in height, and supported the cloisters.

He also encompassed the entire temple with very large cloisters, contriving them to be in a due proportion thereto; and he laid out larger sums of money upon them than had been done before him, till it seemed that no one else had so greatly adorned the temple as he had done. There was a large wall to both the cloisters, which wall was itself the most prodigious work that was ever heard of by man. 15.411. but the fourth front of the temple, which was southward, had indeed itself gates in its middle, as also it had the royal cloisters, with three walks, which reached in length from the east valley unto that on the west, for it was impossible it should reach any farther: 15.412. and this cloister deserves to be mentioned better than any other under the sun; for while the valley was very deep, and its bottom could not be seen, if you looked from above into the depth, this further vastly high elevation of the cloister stood upon that height, insomuch that if any one looked down from the top of the battlements, or down both those altitudes, he would be giddy, while his sight could not reach to such an immense depth. 15.413. This cloister had pillars that stood in four rows one over against the other all along, for the fourth row was interwoven into the wall, which [also was built of stone]; and the thickness of each pillar was such, that three men might, with their arms extended, fathom it round, and join their hands again, while its length was twenty-seven feet, with a double spiral at its basis; 15.414. and the number of all the pillars [in that court] was a hundred and sixty-two. Their chapiters were made with sculptures after the Corinthian order, and caused an amazement [to the spectators], by reason of the grandeur of the whole. 15.415. These four rows of pillars included three intervals for walking in the middle of this cloister; two of which walks were made parallel to each other, and were contrived after the same manner; the breadth of each of them was thirty feet, the length was a furlong, and the height fifty feet; but the breadth of the middle part of the cloister was one and a half of the other, and the height was double, for it was much higher than those on each side; 15.416. but the roofs were adorned with deep sculptures in wood, representing many sorts of figures. The middle was much higher than the rest, and the wall of the front was adorned with beams, resting upon pillars, that were interwoven into it, and that front was all of polished stone, insomuch that its fineness, to such as had not seen it, was incredible, and to such as had seen it, was greatly amazing. |

A man is obligated to be involved with the laws of Pesach the whole night, even if it [is only a discussion] between him and his son, even if it is between him and himself, even if it is between him and his student. It happened that Rabban Gamliel and the Elders were [once] reclining in the house of Beitos ben Zunin in Lud, and they were involved with the laws of Pesach the whole night until the call of the rooster. [Their students] raised the covering of the window from in front of them, and they [then] convened and went to the house of study. What is the blessing on the Pesach sacrifice? Blessed [...] who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us on the eating of the Pesach sacrifice. What is the blessing on the [other] offerings? Blessed [...] who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us on the eating of the offering.", |

Rabbi Yehudah, however, says that even dried-up ones are valid. And again he says: There is a story of the men of Carbin that they used to transmit their lulavs in the time of persecution. They said to him, The time of persecution is no proof.", 4.6. "Why did they blow three blasts? To make the people cease from work. The sexton took the trumpets, and went to the top of the highest roof in the city to summon those near the city to cease from work. Those near the limits of the city assembled themselves together and came to the schoolhouse. They did not come immediately the trumpets blew, but waited till all were gathered together, and then all came at once. When did they assemble? After one could fill a bottle of water, or fry a fish, or light his lamp. ", |

" b God is good to all and His mercies are upon all of His works (Psalms 145:9): /b Rabbi Levi said, \"'God is good to all,' upon all, that He is their maker.\" Rabbi Shmuel said, \"'God is good to all and His mercies' - upon all that are His traits, He has mercy.” Rabbi Yehoshua of Sakhnin said in the name of Rabbi Levi, \"'God is good to all' and His merciful ones He give to His creatures.\" Rabbi Tanchuma and Rabbi Abba bar Avin [said] in the name of Rav Acha, “Tomorrow a famine will arrive and the creatures will have mercy, these upon those, and the Holy One, blessed be He, will be filled with mercy on them.” In the days of Rabbi Tanchuma, Israel required a fast (to bring about rain). They came to [Rabbi Tanchuma and] said to him, “Rabbi, decree a fast.” [So] he decreed a fast on the first day, on the second day, on the third day and rain did not fall. He got up and expounded to them. He said to them, \"My children, have mercy, these upon those, and the Holy One, blessed be He, will be filled with mercy on you.\" While they were still distributing charity to the poor, they saw a man giving money to his ex-wife. They came to [Rabbi Tanchuma] and said to him, \"Rabbi, how are we sitting here [while] there is a sin here.\" He said [back] to them, \"What did you see?\" They said to him, \"We saw Mr. x give money to his ex-wife.\" They sent for them and they brought them in front of the community. [Rabbi Tanchuma] said to him, \"What is she to you?\" He said [back] to him, \"She is my ex-wife.\" He said to him, \"Why did you give her money?\" He said to him, \"Rabbi, I saw her in distress and I was filled with mercy on her.\" At that time, Rabbi Tanchuma lifted his head towards above and said, \"Master over the worlds, just like this one that does not have an obligation to sustain [her] saw her in distress and he was filled with mercy for her, all the more so, You, that it is written about You, 'Compassionate and Merciful' and we are the children of Your friends, Avraham, Yitschak and Yaakov, will You be filled with mercy on us.\" Immediately, rains fell and the world was irrigated. Our rabbi (Yehuda Hanassi) was sitting, involved in Torah in front of the synagogue of the Babylonian [Jews] in Tzippori [when] a calf passed in front of him [and] was going to be slaughtered and started to yell out as if to say, \"Save me.\" He said to it, \"And what can I do for you? That is what you were created for.\" [As a result, Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi] had toothaches for thirteen years. Rabbi Yoss bar Avin said, \"[During] those entire thirteen years that [he] had toothaches, no pregt woman had a miscarriage in the Land of Israel and no birthing mother had pain. After some time, a crawling animal passed in front of his daughter and she wanted to kill it. He said to her, \"My daughter, let it go, as it is written, \"and His mercies are upon all of his works.\" Our rabbi had great modesty and said, \"I will do anything that people tell me except what the sons of Batira did to my forefather - that they came down from their greatness (office) and brought him up; and [even] if Rabbi Huna, the Exilarch, came here, I would get up in front of him. Why? As he is from [the tribe of] Yehuda and I am from Binyamin, and he is from the males of Yehuda and I am from the females.\" Rabbi Chiya the Great said to him, \"And behold, he is [waiting] outside.\" [Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi]'s face changed colors. And when he saw that his face changed colors, [Rabbi Chiya] said to him, \"It is [Rabbi Huna]'s coffin.\" He said [back] to [Rabbi Chiya], \"Go out and see who needs you outside.\" He went out and did not find a person and he knew that he was excommunicated - and there is no excommunication less than thirty days. Rabbi Yossi bar Avin said, \"[During] the entire thirty days that Rabbi Chiya the Great was excommunicated from our rabbi, he taught Rav, the son of his sister, the principles of the Torah.\" And what are the principles of the Torah? They are the laws of the Babylonians. At the end of thirty days, Eliyahu - may he be remembered for good - came in the likeness of Rabbi Chiya the Great to our rabbi and put his hand on his teeth and he became healed. When Rabbi Chiya the Great came to our rabbi, he said to him, \"What did you do to your teeth?\" He said [back] to him, \"From the time that you put your hand on them, they became better. He said, \"I do not know what this is.\" When he heard this, he began to treat him with respect and he brought close the students and brought up [Rabbi Chiya] to the top. Rabbi Yishmael bar Yose said, \"And [should he] come closer than I?\" He said [back] to him, \"God forbid, such should not be done in Israel.\" Our rabbi was teaching the praises of Rabbi Chiya the Great in front of Rabbi Yishmael bar Yose - he said, \"He is a great man, he is a holy man.\" One time, [Rabbi Yishmael bar Yose] saw [Rabbi Chiya] in the bathhouse and [the latter] did not humble himself before him. He said to [Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi], \"Is this your student that you have been praising? I saw him in the bathhouse and he did not humble himself before me.\" He said to him, \"Why did you not humble yourself before him?\" Rabbi Chiya said [back], I was looking at the homilies (aggadot) of Psalms.\" Once [Rabbi Yehudah Hanassi] heard this, he gave him two students to go with him to the dark places, that he not get confounded and lose himself. Another explanation: \"God is good to all, etc.\" \"And God remembered Noach, etc.\" - Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachmani said, \"Woe to the evildoers who switch the [Divine] trait of mercy to the [Divine] trait of [strict] justice. In every place that it states 'the Lord,' it is the trait of mercy: 'The Lord, the Lord, merciful and compassionate God' (Exodus 34:6). And [yet] it is written (Genesis 6:5-6), 'And the Lord saw that the evil of man on the earth was very great[...] And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and the Lord said, \"I will erase, etc.\"' Happy are the righteous who switch the trait of [Divine] justice to the [divine] trait of mercy. In every place that it states ' i Elohim /i ,' it is the trait of mercy: 'Judges ( i Elohim /i ) you shall not curse' (Exodus 22:27); 'to the judges ( i elohim /i ) the matter of both of them will come' (Exodus 22:8). And [yet] it is written (Exodus 2:24), 'And God heard their cries and God remembered His covet'; '(Genesis 30:22), 'And God remembered Rachel'; 'And God remembered Noach.' And what memory did He remember for him? That he fed and sustained them all of the twelve months in the ark.\" \"And God remembered Noach\" - and justice requires it, from the merit of the pure ones that he brought with him into the ark. Rabbi Eliezer says, \"[Noach] was named corresponding to his sacrifice, as it states, 'And the Lord smelled the pleasant ( i nichoach /i ) fragrance.'\" Rabbi Yose bar Chaninah [says], \"He was named corresponding to the resting of the ark, as it states, 'And the ark rested ( i tanach /i ) on the seventh month, etc.'\" Rabbi Yehoshua says, \"'Will not cease' (Genesis 8:22) implies that they ceased.\"", |

Herod b placed a garland /b made b of porcupine /b hide b on /b Bava ben Buta’s head, which b pricked his eyes out. One day /b Herod b came and sat before him /b without identifying himself in order to test him. b He, /b Herod, b said: See, Master, what this evil slave /b Herod b is doing. /b Bava ben Buta b said to him: What should I do to him? /b Herod b said to him: /b The b Master should curse him. /b Bava ben Buta b said to him: /b But b it is written: “Do not curse the king, not even in your thoughts” /b (Ecclesiastes 10:20). Herod b said to him: He is not a king, /b since he rules illegally. Bava ben Buta b said to him: And /b even if b he were merely a rich man /b I would not curse him, as b it is written: “And do not curse a rich person in your bedchamber” /b (Ecclesiastes 10:20). b And /b even b were he only a leader /b I would not curse him, as b it is written: “And you shall not curse a leader among your people” /b (Exodus 22:27).,Herod b said to him: /b That i halakha /i stated b with regard to /b “a leader among your people,” that is, to a fit Jew who b acts as /b a member of b your people, /b i.e., in accordance with Torah law, b and this one does not do the deeds of your people. /b Bava ben Buta b said to him: /b Nevertheless, b I am afraid of him. /b Herod b said to him: There is nobody who will go and tell him, since you and I are sitting /b here alone. Bava ben Buta b said to him: /b Nevertheless, b it is written: “For a bird of the sky shall carry the sound, and that which has wings shall tell the matter” /b (Ecclesiastes 10:20).,Herod b said to him: I am he. Had I known that the Sages were so cautious I would not have killed them. Now, what is that man’s remedy, /b i.e., what can I do to repent for my sinful actions? Bava ben Buta b said to him: He /b who b extinguished the light of the world /b by killing the Torah Sages, b as it is written: “For the mitzva is a lamp, and the Torah is light” /b (Proverbs 6:23), b should go and occupy himself with the light of the world, /b the Temple, b as it is written /b with regard to the Temple: b “And all the nations shall flow [ i venaharu /i ] unto it” /b (Isaiah 2:2), the word i venaharu /i alluding to light [ i nehora /i ]. b There are /b those b who say /b that b this /b is what b he said to him: He /b who b blinded the eye of the world, as it is written /b in reference to the Sages: b “And if /b it be committed through ignorance b by the eyes of the congregation” /b (Numbers 15:24), b should go and occupy himself with the eye of the world, /b the Temple, b as it is written: “I will desecrate my Temple, the pride of your strength, the delight of your eyes” /b (Ezekiel 24:21).,Herod b said to him: I am afraid of the /b Roman b government, /b that they will not permit me to make changes in the Temple. Bava ben Buta b said to him: Send a messenger /b who will b travel /b there for b a year, and remain /b there for another b year, and /b take yet another b year /b to b return. In the meantime, you can demolish /b the Temple b and rebuild it. He did so. /b Eventually, b they sent /b a message b to /b Herod from Rome: b If you have not /b yet b demolished it, do not demolish it; and if you have /b already b demolished it, do not rebuild it; and if you have demolished it and /b already b rebuilt it, /b you shall be counted among b those who act wickedly, seeking counsel /b only b after they have /b already b acted. /b Even b if you are armed /b and in command of a military force, b your book, /b i.e., your genealogical record, b is here. /b You are b neither a king [ i reikha /i ] nor the son of a king, /b but rather b Herod the slave who has made himself a freeman [ i kelonya /i ]. /b ,The Gemara explains: b What /b is the meaning of the word b i reikha /i ? /b It denotes b royalty, as it is written: “I am today a tender [ i rakh /i ] and anointed king” /b (II Samuel 3:39). b And if you wish, say /b that the meaning of the word is learned b from here, /b from the term describing Joseph after he was appointed viceroy to the king: b “And they cried before him, i Avrekh /i ” /b (Genesis 41:43).,The Sages b say: One who has not seen Herod’s building has never seen a beautiful building in his life. /b The Gemara asks: b With what did he build it? Rabba said: With stones of white and green marble [ i umarmara /i ]. There are /b those b who say /b that he built it b with stones of blue, white, and green marble. /b Alternate rows of stones b sent out an edge /b a bit b and drew in an edge /b a bit, b so that they would /b better b receive /b and hold b the plaster. He considered covering it with gold, /b but b the Rabbis said to him: Leave it, /b and do not cover it, b since it is more beautiful this /b way, b as it looks like the waves of the sea. /b ,The Gemara asks: b And how did Bava ben Buta do this, /b i.e., give advice to Herod the wicked? b But doesn’t Rav Yehuda say /b that b Rav says, and some say /b it was b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi /b who says: b For what /b reason b was Daniel punished? Because he offered advice to Nebuchadnezzar, as /b after sharing a harsh prophecy with him, b it is stated: “Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, redeem your sins with charity and your iniquities with graciousness to the poor, that there may be a lengthening of your prosperity” /b (Daniel 4:24). b And it is written: “All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar” /b (Daniel 4:25). b And it is written: “And at the end of twelve months” /b (Daniel 4:26). Only after a year was the prophecy fulfilled but not before that, apparently because Nebuchadnezzar heeded Daniel’s advice.,The Gemara answers: b If you wish, say /b that b a slave /b like Herod b is different since he is obligated in the mitzvot, /b and therefore Bava ben Buta had to help him repent. b And if you wish, say the Temple is different, as without /b the help of b the government it would not have been built. /b ,The Gemara asks: b And from where do we /b derive b that Daniel was punished? If we say /b we know this b because it is written: “And Esther called for Hatach, /b one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her” (Esther 4:5), b and Rav said: Hatach is Daniel. This works out well according to the one who says /b Daniel was called Hatach because b they cut him down [ i ḥatakh /i ] from his greatness /b and turned him into a minor attendant. b But according to the one who says /b he was called Hatach b because all governmental matters were determined [ i ḥatakh /i ] according to his word, what is there to say? /b What punishment did he receive? The Gemara answers: His punishment was b that they threw him into the den of lions. /b ,§ The mishna teaches: In a place where it is customary to build a wall of non-chiseled stone, or chiseled stone, or small bricks, or large bricks, they must build the partition with that material. b Everything is in accordance with the regional custom. /b The Gemara asks: b What /b does the word b everything /b serve b to add? /b The Gemara answers: It serves b to add a place where it is customary /b to build a partition b out of palm and laurel branches. /b In such a place, the partition is built from those materials.,The mishna teaches: b Therefore, if the wall /b later b falls, /b the assumption is that b the space /b where the wall stood b and the stones belong to both of them, /b to be divided equally. The Gemara questions the need for this ruling: Isn’t it b obvious /b that this is the case, since both neighbors participated in the construction of the wall? The Gemara answers: b No, /b it is b necessary /b to teach this i halakha /i for a case b where /b the entire wall b fell into the domain of one of them. Alternatively, /b it is necessary in a case b where one of them /b already b cleared /b all the stones b into his /b own b domain. Lest you say /b that b the other /b party b should be /b governed by the principle that b the burden of proof rests upon the claimant, /b that is, if the other party should have to prove that he had been a partner in the construction of the wall, the mishna b teaches us /b that they are presumed to have been partners in the building of the wall, and neither requires further proof.,§ The mishna continues: b And similarly with regard to a garden, /b in b a place where it is customary to build a partition /b in the middle of a garden jointly owned by two people, and one of them wishes to build such a partition, the court b obligates /b his neighbor to join in building the partition. The Gemara comments: b This /b matter b itself /b is b difficult. /b On the one hand, b you said: And similarly with regard to a garden, /b in b a place where it is customary to build a partition /b in the middle of a garden jointly owned by two people, and one of them wishes to build such a partition, the court b obligates /b his neighbor to join in building the partition. One can infer b that ordinarily, /b where there is no custom, the court b does not obligate him /b to build a partition.,But b say the latter clause /b of the mishna: b But /b with regard to an expanse of b fields, /b in b a place where it is customary not to build a partition /b between two people’s fields, and one person wishes to build a partition between his field and that of his neighbor, the court b does not obligate /b his neighbor to build such a partition. One can infer b that ordinarily, /b where there is no custom, the court b obligates him /b to build a partition. The Gemara explains the difficulty: b Now /b that b you said /b by inference that in b an ordinary garden /b the court b does not /b obligate him to build a partition, b is it necessary /b to say that the court does not obligate him to build a partition in b an ordinary field? /b Clearly in a field there is less of a need for a partition, as there is less damage caused by exposure to the gaze of others., b Abaye said /b that b this /b is what the i tanna /i b is saying: And similarly /b with regard to b an ordinary garden, and /b also b in a place where it is customary to build a partition in /b an expanse of b fields, /b the court b obligates him /b to build a partition. b Rava said to him: If so, what /b is the point of the word: b But, /b mentioned afterward in connection with an expanse of fields, which seems to indicate that the issue of fields had not yet been addressed? b Rather, Rava said /b that b this /b is what the i tanna /i b is teaching: And similarly an ordinary garden is /b treated b like a place where it is customary to build a partition, and /b therefore the court b obligates him /b to build a partition. b But an ordinary /b expanse of b fields is /b treated b like a place where it is customary not /b to build a partition, b and /b therefore the court b does not obligate him /b to build one.,§ The mishna teaches: b Rather, if /b one person b wishes /b to erect a partition, b he must withdraw into his own /b field b and build /b the partition there. b And he makes /b a border b mark on the outer side /b of the barrier facing his neighbor’s property, indicating that he built the entire structure of his own materials and on his own land. The Gemara asks: b What /b is the meaning of a border b mark? Rav Huna said: He bends the edge /b of the wall b toward the outside. /b The Gemara suggests: b Let him make it on the inside. /b The Gemara explains: In that case, b his neighbor might also make /b a mark b on the outside, /b that is, on the side facing his own property, b and say: /b The wall b is /b both b mine and his. /b The Gemara responds: b If so, /b that is, there is a concern about such deception, b now also /b when the person who builds the wall makes a border mark on the outer side of the wall, b his neighbor might cut it off and say: /b The wall b is /b both b mine and his. /b The Gemara answers: Such b a cut is noticeable /b and the deception will not work., b There are /b those b who say /b that in answer to the question: What is the meaning of a border mark, b Rav Huna said: He bends the edge /b of the wall b toward the inside. /b The Gemara suggests: b Let him make it on the outside. /b The Gemara explains: In that case, b his neighbor might cut it off and say: /b The wall b is /b both b mine and his. /b The Gemara asks: b If so, /b that is, there is a concern for such deception, b now also /b when the person who builds the wall makes a border mark toward the inside, b his neighbor might add /b a border mark on his own side b and say: /b The wall b is /b both b mine and his. /b The Gemara answers: b An addition is noticeable /b and the deception will not work. The Gemara asks: b But doesn’t /b the mishna b teach /b that he makes the border mark b on the outside /b and not on the inside? The Gemara comments: This is b a difficulty. /b , b Rabbi Yoḥa said: /b |

He explained: b “The house of the Lord”; this is the Holy Temple. “The king’s house”; these are the king’s palaces [ i palterin /i ]. “And all the houses of Jerusalem”; as /b understood in b its literal sense. /b With regard to the final phrase: b “And every great house he burnt with fire,” Rabbi Yoḥa and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi /b disagree about the meaning of “great house”: b One /b of them b said: /b It is referring to b a place where the Torah is made great, /b i.e., the study hall; b and /b the other b one said: /b It is referring to b a place where prayer is made great, /b i.e., the synagogue.,The Gemara explains their respective opinions: b The one who said /b that the reference is to where the b Torah /b is made great bases his opinion on a verse that describes Torah study as great, b as it is written: “The Lord was pleased, for His righteousness’ sake, to make Torah great and glorious” /b (Isaiah 42:21). b And the one who said /b that the reference is to where b prayer /b is made great bases his opinion on a verse that describes prayer as great, b as it is written: “Tell me, /b I pray you, all b the great things that Elisha has done” /b (II Kings 8:4), b and that which Elisha did, /b i.e., restored a boy to life, b he did through prayer. /b ,The Gemara comments: b Conclude that Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi is the one who said /b that “great house” is referring to b a place where the Torah is made great, as Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said /b elsewhere: b It is permitted /b for b a synagogue to be made /b into b a study hall. /b This ruling indicates that he holds that a study hall has a higher degree of sanctity than a synagogue. It is therefore reasonable that he assumes that “great house” is referring specifically to a study hall. The Gemara concludes: Indeed, b learn from it /b that he was the one who said the term is referring to a place where the Torah is made great.,§ The mishna states: b However, /b if b they sold a Torah /b scroll, b they may not /b use the proceeds to b purchase scrolls /b of the Prophets and the Writings. Similarly, the proceeds of the sale of any sacred item may not be used to purchase an item of a lesser degree of sanctity. b A dilemma was raised before /b the Sages: b What is /b the i halakha /i with regard to whether it is permitted b to sell an old Torah scroll /b in order b to purchase a new one? /b The Gemara explains the sides of the dilemma: On the one hand, b since /b the proceeds b are not raised /b to a higher degree of sanctity by doing so, maybe b it is prohibited; or, perhaps /b in this case, b since there is no /b possibility of b raising /b it to b another, higher /b degree of sanctity, it b seems well /b and should be permitted?, b Come /b and b hear /b a resolution to this dilemma from the mishna: b However, if they sold a Torah /b scroll, b they may not /b use the proceeds to b purchase scrolls /b of the Prophets and the Writings. One may infer: b It is /b only b scrolls /b of the Prophets and the Writings b that may not /b be purchased with the proceeds, b but /b to purchase a new b Torah /b scroll b with /b the proceeds of an old b Torah /b scroll b seems well /b and is permitted. The Gemara rejects this proof: b The mishna /b discusses the i halakha /i that applies only b after the fact /b that a Torah scroll was sold. Perhaps it is only in that case where the proceeds may be used to purchase another Torah scroll. b When the dilemma was raised to us, /b it was with respect to permitting the sale of one Torah scroll in order to purchase another b i ab initio /i . /b , b Come /b and b hear /b a resolution to this dilemma from a i baraita /i : b A Torah scroll may be rolled up in wrapping cloths /b that are used for scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah. b And /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah may be rolled up b in wrapping cloths /b that are used for scrolls b of the Prophets or Writings, /b since in each case the wrapping cloths are being used for something with a greater degree of sanctity. b However, /b a scroll of b the Prophets or Writings may not /b be rolled up b in wrapping cloths /b that are used for scrolls b of one of the five /b books of the Torah, and scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah b may not /b be rolled up b in wrapping cloths /b that are used b for a Torah scroll. /b ,The Gemara explains the proof: b In any event, /b the i baraita /i b is teaching: A Torah scroll may be rolled up in wrapping cloths /b that are used for scrolls b of one of the five /b books of the Torah. One may infer: A Torah scroll may be rolled up only in b wrapping cloths /b that are used for scrolls b of one of the five /b books of the Torah; but to roll it up in b wrapping cloths of /b another b Torah scroll, no, /b it is not permitted. By extension, one Torah scroll may certainly not be sold in order to purchase another.,The Gemara rejects the proof: If this inference is valid, one should be able to b say the latter clause /b and make a similar inference from it. The latter clause teaches: b And /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah b may not /b be rolled up b in wrapping cloths /b that are used for b a Torah scroll. /b It may be inferred from this that it is prohibited only to roll up scrolls of one of the five books of the Torah in wrapping cloths that are used for a Torah scroll, b but /b to roll up one b Torah /b scroll b in /b the wrapping cloths of another b Torah /b scroll b seems well. /b By extension, one should be permitted to sell a Torah scroll to purchase another. b Rather, /b perforce one must conclude that b no /b inference beyond its basic meaning b can be deduced from /b the i baraita /i , as the inferences are contradictory., b Come /b and b hear /b a resolution to this dilemma from the i Tosefta /i ( i Megilla /i 3:12): b A Torah scroll may be placed upon /b another b Torah /b scroll, b and a Torah /b scroll may be placed b upon /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah, b and /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah may be placed b upon /b scrolls of b the Prophets or Writings. However, /b scrolls of b the Prophets or Writings may not /b be placed b upon /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah, b and /b scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah b may not be placed upon a Torah /b scroll. From the first clause, it is apparent that one Torah scroll may be used for the sake of another. By extension, it should be permitted to sell one Torah scroll to purchase another.,The Gemara rejects this proof: Can b you say /b a proof from the i halakha /i b of placing /b one Torah scroll upon another? The i halakha /i of b placing /b scrolls upon one another b is different, because it is impossible /b to place them in any other way, as they must be laid one atop the other when placed in the ark. b As, if you do not say so, /b that it is indeed permitted when in an unavoidable situation, b how /b could we b furl /b a Torah scroll at all? b Does /b one b sheet /b of parchment b not rest upon another? Rather, since it is impossible /b to furl the scroll in any other way, b it is permitted. Here too, since it is impossible /b to place the scrolls in the ark in any other way, b it is permitted. /b , b Come /b and b hear /b a resolution to this dilemma from a i baraita /i : b As Rabba bar bar Ḥana said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said in the name of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel: A person may not sell an old Torah scroll /b in order b to purchase a new one. /b ,The Gemara rejects this proof. b There, /b in the case of the i baraita /i , it is prohibited b because of /b a concern for b negligence. /b The old one might be sold and a new one never bought. However, b when we speak, /b it is of a case b where /b the new scroll b is /b already b written and waiting to be redeemed /b immediately with the proceeds of the sale. Therefore, the question remains: b What /b is the i halakha /i in this case?, b Come /b and b hear /b a resolution to this dilemma from a i baraita /i : b As Rabbi Yoḥa said in the name of Rabbi Meir: A Torah scroll may be sold only /b if the seller needs the money in order b to study Torah or to marry a woman. /b , b Learn from /b this i baraita /i that exchanging one entity of b Torah, /b i.e., a Torah scroll, b for /b another entity of b Torah, /b i.e., Torah study, b seems well, /b and by extension, it should be permitted to sell one Torah scroll to purchase another. The Gemara rejects the proof: b Perhaps /b Torah b study is different, as the study /b of Torah b leads to action, /b i.e., the fulfillment of the mitzvot, and perhaps it is only due to its great importance of Torah study that it is permitted to sell a Torah scroll for it. Similarly, marrying b a woman is also /b of utmost importance, as it is stated with regard to Creation: b “He created it not a waste; He formed it to be inhabited” /b (Isaiah 45:18). This indicates that marrying and having children fulfills a primary goal of Creation. b But /b selling an old b Torah /b in order to buy a new b Torah /b might b not /b be permitted.,On the same topic, b the Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A person may not sell a Torah scroll, even if he does not need it. Furthermore, Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: Even /b if a person b has nothing to eat, and /b out of his need b he sold a Torah scroll or /b he sold b his daughter /b to be a maidservant, b he never sees a sign of blessing /b from the proceeds of either sale. Clearly, it is never appropriate to sell a Torah scroll for any purpose.,The mishna states: b And similarly, /b the same limitation applies b to /b any b surplus funds /b from the sale of sacred items. b Rava said: They taught /b that the surplus funds have sanctity b only /b in a case b where /b the community b sold /b a sacred object and then used the proceeds to purchase something with a greater degree of sanctity, b and there was /b money b left over. However, if /b the community b collected /b money from its members in order to purchase a sacred object, b and there was /b extra money b left over /b beyond the price of the object, that extra money b is permitted /b to be used for any purpose, as the money was never sanctified., b Abaye raised an objection to /b Rava from a i baraita /i : b In what /b case b is this statement /b of the mishna b said? When they did not /b explicitly b stipulate /b that they would do with the surplus funds as they see fit. b However, /b if b they made /b such b a stipulation, /b then b even /b to use the money b for a i dukhsusya /i is permitted. /b The Gemara will explain the meaning of the term i dukhsusya /i .,Abaye explains the challenge: b What are the circumstances /b of this stipulation? b If we say that they sold /b a sacred object b and /b after using the proceeds to purchase another sacred object b there was /b money b left over, /b then even b when they made a stipulation, of what /b avail b is it? /b How can a stipulation desanctify the money? b Rather, /b the mishna must be referring to a case b where they collected /b money to purchase a sacred object b and there was /b money b left over /b after they made the purchase. In such a case, b the reason /b that it is permitted to use the extra money for any purpose is b that they made /b an explicit b stipulation. However, if they did not make a stipulation, no, /b it would not be permitted.,Rava rejects this argument: b Actually, /b you can explain that the mishna is referring to a case b where they sold /b a sacred object b and there was /b money b left over /b after purchasing a new one, b and this is what /b the i baraita /i b is saying: In what /b case b is this statement /b of the mishna b said? /b In a case b where the seven representatives of the town did not /b explicitly b stipulate /b that they could use the money as they see fit, b in an assembly of the residents of the town. However, if the seven representatives of the town made /b such b a stipulation in an assembly of the residents of the town, /b then b even /b to use the money b for a i dukhsusya /i would also be permitted. /b , b Abaye said to one of the Sages who would arrange the Mishna before Rav Sheshet: Did you hear /b anything b from Rav Sheshet /b with regard to b what /b the meaning of the term b i dukhsusya /i /b is? b He said to him: This is what Rav Sheshet said: /b It is b the town horseman /b who would serve the townspeople as a sentry and for public dispatches.,The Gemara introduces a parenthetical comment: b Abaye said: Accordingly, /b one can learn from this incident that with regard to b this young Torah scholar who has heard something and does not know the meaning /b of it, b he should inquire /b of its meaning b before /b somebody b who is frequently before the Sages, as it is impossible that /b such a person b did not hear /b something about it b from /b some b great man. /b ,§ b Rabbi Yoḥa said in the name of Rabbi Meir: /b In the case of b residents of a town who /b collectively b went to another town and, /b while there, the charity collectors in that town b made them pledge /b a certain sum for b charity, they must give /b the promised sum to the town’s charity collector, so as not to be suspected of reneging. b But when they go /b home, their money is returned to them, and b they bring it /b back b with them, and with it they fice the poor of their /b own b town. /b ,The Gemara comments: b That is also taught /b in a i baraita /i : In the case of b residents of a town who /b collectively b went to another town and, /b while there, the local charity collectors b made them pledge /b a certain sum for b charity, they must give /b the promised sum to the town’s charity collector. b But when they go /b home, their money is returned to them, and b they bring it /b back b with them. But /b in the case of b an individual who went /b from his hometown b to another town and, /b while there, the local charity collectors b made him pledge /b a certain sum for b charity, he should give it to the poor of that town. /b ,The Gemara relates: b Rav Huna /b once b decreed a fast day. /b On the day of the fast, b Rav Ḥana bar Ḥanilai and all the people of his town came to /b Rav Huna. A certain sum of b charity was imposed upon them and they gave /b it. b When they wanted to go /b home, b they said to /b Rav Huna: b May our Master give to us /b the charity that we gave, b and we will go /b back, b and with it we will fice the poor of our own town. /b , b He said to them: It was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b In what /b case b is this statement, /b that the money is returned when the people leave, b said? When there is no /b |

It is therefore apparent that this consideration is not relevant to the i halakhot /i of impurity.,§ b Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: /b With regard to b any city that does not have /b among its residents b two /b men who are able b to speak /b all seventy languages b and one /b additional man who is able b to listen /b to and understand statements made in all the languages, even if he cannot speak all of them, b they do not place /b a lesser b Sanhedrin /b there. The members of the Sanhedrin do not all need to know all of the languages, but there must be at least this minimum number. b And in Beitar there were three /b individuals who were able to speak all seventy languages, b and in Yavne /b there were b four, /b and they were: b Rabbi Eliezer, and Rabbi Yehoshua, and Rabbi Akiva, and Shimon HaTimni, /b who was not an ordained Sage, and he would therefore b deliberate before /b the other judges while seated b on the ground, /b not among the rows of Sages.,The Gemara b raises an objection /b to this from a i baraita /i : b A third, /b i.e., a Sanhedrin that has three individuals who can speak all seventy languages, is b a wise /b Sanhedrin, and if it also has b a fourth /b such person, b there is no /b court b above it, /b meaning that there is no need for additional language experts. Apparently the minimum requirement is three people who can speak the languages, not two. The Gemara answers: Rav b states /b his opinion b in accordance with /b the opinion of b the following i tanna /i , as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : A Sanhedrin that has b a second /b language expert b is wise; /b and if it also has b a third, there is no /b court b above it. /b ,§ Since the i baraita /i stated that Shimon HaTimni would deliberate before them on the ground, the Gemara now lists various standard formulations used to introduce the statements of various Sages throughout the generations. If a source says: b It was learned from the Sages, /b the intention is that this was a statement made by the Sage b Levi /b who sat before and learned b from Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi. If it says: They b deliberated before the Sages, /b this is referring to b Shimon ben Azzai, and Shimon ben Zoma, and Ḥa the Egyptian, and Ḥaya ben Ḥakhinai. Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak /b would b teach five /b names for this list: b Shimon /b ben Azzai, b Shimon /b ben Zoma, b and Shimon /b HaTimni, b Ḥa /b the Egyptian, b and Ḥaya /b ben Ḥakhinai.,The expression: b Our Rabbis that are in Babylonia, /b is referring to b Rav and Shmuel. /b The expression: b Our Rabbis that are in Eretz Yisrael, /b is referring to b Rabbi Abba. /b The expression: b The judges of the Diaspora, /b is a reference to the Sage b Karna. /b The phrase: b The judges of Eretz Yisrael, /b is a reference to b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi. /b The phrase: b The judges of Pumbedita, /b is referring to b Rav Pappa bar Shmuel, /b who was the head of the court there, and: b The judges of Neharde’a, /b is a reference to the court headed by b Rav Adda bar Minyumi. /b The term: b The Elders of Sura, /b is referring to b Rav Huna and Rav Ḥisda, /b and: b The Elders of Pumbedita, /b is referring to b Rav Yehuda and Rav Eina. The sharp ones of Pumbedita /b are b Eifa and Avimi, the sons of Raḥava. /b The expression: b The i amora’im /i of Pumbedita, /b is referring to b Rabba and Rav Yosef, /b and the phrase: b The i amora’im /i of Neharde’a, /b is referring to b Rav Ḥama. /b ,If it says: The Sages b of Neharbela taught, /b this is referring to b Rami bar Berabi, /b and the statement: b They say /b in b the school of Rav, /b is a reference to b Rav Huna. /b The Gemara asks: b But doesn’t Rav Huna /b sometimes b say /b with regard to a given i halakha /i : b They say /b in b the school of Rav? /b From this, it is apparent that a statement introduced by that formula cannot be made by Rav Huna himself, as Rav Huna quotes someone else with that introduction. The Gemara responds: b Rather, /b the expression: They say in the school of Rav, must be referring to b Rav Hamnuna. /b The formula: b They say in the West, /b i.e., Eretz Yisrael, is referring to b Rabbi Yirmeya; /b the expression: b They sent /b a message b from there, /b meaning from Eretz Yisrael, is referring to b Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina; /b and the statement: b They laughed at it in the West, /b means that b Rabbi Elazar /b did not accept a particular opinion.,The Gemara asks: b But /b in one instance it is reported that: b They sent /b a message b from there /b that began: b According to the statement of Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina. /b This indicates that the expression: They sent from there, is not itself a reference to a statement of Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina. The Gemara answers: b Rather, reverse /b the statements. The phrase: b They sent from there, /b is a reference to b Rabbi Elazar, /b and: b They laughed at it in the West, /b means that b Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina /b did not accept a particular opinion.,§ The mishna teaches: b And how many /b men must b be in the city for /b it b to be eligible for /b a lesser b Sanhedrin? /b The opinion of the first i tanna /i is that there must be b 120 /b men. The Gemara asks: b What is the relevance of /b the number b 120? /b The Gemara explains that b 23 /b are needed to b correspond to /b the number of members of the b lesser Sanhedrin, and /b it is necessary for there to be b three rows of 23 /b students who sit before the lesser Sanhedrin to learn and also to advise them; that b is /b a total of b 92 /b people. b And /b since there also need to be b 10 idlers of the synagogue, /b people who are free from urgent work and are always sitting in the synagogue to take care of its repair and the other needs of the public, that b would be 102. /b , b And /b in addition there are b two scribes /b required for the Sanhedrin, b and two bailiffs, and two litigants /b who will come to be judged. b And /b there are b two witnesses /b for one side, b and two /b witnesses who could render those witnesses b conspiring /b witnesses by testifying that they were elsewhere at the time of the alleged incident, b and two /b additional witnesses could testify against the witnesses who rendered the first witnesses b conspiring /b witnesses, rendering the second pair b conspiring /b witnesses. All of these are necessary in order for a trial to take place, as is described in Deuteronomy 19:15–21. Therefore, b there are /b so far a total of b 114 /b men who must be in the city., b And /b it b is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A Torah scholar is not permitted to reside in any city that does not have these ten things: A court that /b has the authority to b flog and punish /b transgressors; b and /b a charity b fund /b for which monies b are collected by two /b people b and distributed by three, /b as required by i halakha /i . This leads to a requirement for another three people in the city. b And a synagogue; and a bathhouse; and /b a public b bathroom; a doctor; and a bloodletter; and a scribe /b [ b i velavlar /i /b ] to write sacred scrolls and necessary documents; b and /b a ritual b slaughterer; and a teacher of young children. /b With these additional requirements there are a minimum of 120 men who must be residents of the city. b They said in the name of Rabbi Akiva: /b The city must b also /b have b varieties of fruit, because varieties of fruit illuminate the eyes. /b ,The mishna teaches that b Rabbi Neḥemya says: /b There must be 230 men in the city in order for it to be eligible for a lesser Sanhedrin, corresponding to the ministers of tens appointed in the wilderness by Moses at the suggestion of his father-in-law, Yitro (see Exodus 18:21). Each member of the Sanhedrin can be viewed as a judge with responsibility for ten men. It b is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b says: /b |

In terms of this reward, b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina said: /b One who waits in the synagogue for the other to finish his prayer b merits the following blessings, as it is stated: “If only you had listened to My mitzvot then your peace would be as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea. Your seed would be as the sand, and the offspring of your body /b like the grains thereof; his name would be neither cut off nor destroyed from before Me” (Isaiah 48:18–19). The explanation of this passage is based on the etymological similarity between the word mitzva and the word i tzevet /i , which means group. If he keeps the other person company and does not abandon him after his prayer, all of the blessings that appear later in the verse will be fulfilled in him ( i Talmidei Rabbeinu Yona /i ).,In another i baraita /i b it was taught /b that b Abba Binyamin says: If the eye was given permission to see, no creature would be able to withstand the /b abundance and ubiquity of the b demons /b and continue to live unaffected by them.,Similarly, b Abaye said: They are more numerous than we /b are b and they stand over us like mounds of earth surrounding a pit. /b , b Rav Huna said: Each and every one of us has a thousand /b demons b to his left and ten thousand to his right. /b God protects man from these demons, as it says in the verse: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; they will not approach you” (Psalms 91:7).,Summarizing the effects of the demons, b Rava said: /b br b The crowding at the i kalla /i , /b the gatherings for Torah study during Elul and Adar, b is from /b the demons; br b those knees that are fatigued /b even though one did not exert himself b is from /b the demons; br b those clothes of the Sages that wear out, /b despite the fact that they do not engage in physical labor, b is from friction /b with the demons; br b those feet that are in pain is from /b the demons., b One who seeks to know /b that the demons exist b should place fine ashes around his bed, and in the morning /b the demons’ footprints b appear like chickens’ footprints, /b in the ash. b One who seeks to see them should take the afterbirth of a firstborn female black cat, born to a firstborn female black cat, burn it in the fire, grind it and place it in his eyes, and he will see them. /b He must then b place /b the ashes b in an iron tube sealed with an iron seal [ i gushpanka /i ] lest the demons steal it from him, and /b then b seal the opening /b so b he will not be harmed. Rav Beivai bar Abaye performed this /b procedure, b saw /b the demons, b and was harmed. The Sages prayed for mercy on his /b behalf b and he was healed. /b , b It was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Abba Binyamin said: One’s prayer is only /b fully b heard in a synagogue, as it is stated /b with regard to King Solomon’s prayer in the Temple: “Yet have You turned toward the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, Lord my God, b to listen to the song and the prayer /b which Your servant prays before You on this day” (I Kings 8:28). The following verse concludes: “To hear the prayer Your servant directs toward this place” (I Kings 8:29). We see that one’s prayer is heard specifically in the Temple, of which the synagogue is a microcosm (Rav Yoshiyahu Pinto). It may be inferred that b in a place of song, /b a synagogue where God’s praises are sung, b there prayer should be. /b ,In explaining Abba Binyamin’s statement, b Ravin bar Rav Adda said /b that b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: From where /b is it derived b that the Holy One, Blessed be He, is located in a synagogue? As it is stated: “God stands in the congregation of God; /b in the midst of the judges He judges” (Psalms 82:1). The congregation of God is the place where people congregate to sing God’s praises, and God is located among His congregation., b And from where /b is it derived that b ten people who pray, the Divine Presence is with them? As it is stated: “God stands in the congregation of God,” /b and the minimum number of people that constitute a congregation is a quorum of ten., b From where /b is it derived b that three who sit in judgment, the Divine Presence is with them? /b It is derived from this same verse, b as it is stated: “In the midst of the judges He judges,” /b and the minimum number of judges that comprises a court is three., b From where /b is it derived b that two who sit and engage in Torah /b study, b the Divine Presence is with them? As it is stated: “Then they that feared the Lord spoke one with the other, and the Lord listened, /b and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that fear the Lord, and that think upon His name” (Malachi 3:16). The Divine Presence listens to any two God-fearing individuals who speak with each other.,With regard to this verse, the Gemara asks: b What /b is the meaning of the phrase, b “And that think upon His name”? Rav Ashi said: /b If b a person intended to perform a mitzva, but due to /b circumstances b beyond /b his b control, he did not perform it, the verse ascribes him /b credit b as if he performed /b the mitzva, as he is among those that think upon His name.,The Gemara returns to Ravin bar Rav Adda’s statement: b And from where /b is it derived b that when even one who sits and engages in Torah /b study, b the Divine Presence is with him? As it is stated: “In every place where I cause My Name to be mentioned, I will come to you and bless you” /b (Exodus 20:21); God blesses even a single person who mentions God’s name, a reference to Torah study ( i Iyyun Ya’akov /i ).,The Gemara asks: b Since /b the Divine Presence rests b even /b upon b one /b who engages in Torah study, b was it necessary /b to say that the Divine Presence rests upon b two /b who study Torah together? The Gemara answers: There is a difference between them. b Two /b people, b their words /b of Torah b are written in the book of remembrance, /b as it is stated: “And a book of remembrance was written”; however b a single /b individual’s b words /b of Torah b are not written in a book of remembrance. /b ,The Gemara continues: b Since /b the Divine Presence rests b even /b upon b two /b who engage in Torah study, is it b necessary /b to mention b three? /b The Gemara answers: Here too, a special verse is necessary b lest you say that judgment is merely to /b keep the b peace /b among the citizenry, b and the Divine Presence does not come /b and rest upon those who sit in judgment as they are not engaged in Torah study. Ravin bar Rav Adda b teaches us that /b sitting in b judgment is also Torah. /b ,The Gemara asks: b Since /b the Divine Presence rests b even /b upon b three, /b is it b necessary /b to mention b ten? /b The Gemara answers: b The Divine Presence arrives before a group of ten, /b as the verse: “God stands in the congregation of God,” indicates that when the ten individuals who comprise a congregation arrive, the Divine Presence is already there. For a group of b three /b judges, however, the Divine Presence does not arrive b until they sit /b and begin their deliberations, as in the midst of the judges He judges. God aids them in their judgment, but does not arrive before them.,The Gemara cites another aggadic statement: b Rabbi Avin bar Rav Adda said /b that b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: From where /b is it derived b that the Holy One, Blessed be He, wears phylacteries? As it is stated: “The Lord has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength” /b (Isaiah 62:8). Since it is customary to swear upon holy objects, it is understood that His right hand and the arm of His strength are the holy objects upon which God swore.,Specifically, b “His right hand” refers to the Torah, as it is stated /b in describing the giving of the Torah: b “From His right hand, a fiery law for His people” /b (Deuteronomy 33:2). b “The arm of His strength,” /b His left hand, b refers to phylacteries, as it is stated: “The Lord gave strength to His nation” /b (Psalms 29:11), in the form of the mitzva of phylacteries.,The Gemara asks: b And from where /b is it derived b that phylacteries provide strength for Israel? As it is written: “And all the nations of the land shall see that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they will fear you” /b (Deuteronomy 28:10). b It was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Eliezer the Great says: This is /b a reference to b the phylacteries of the head, /b upon which the name of God is written in fulfillment of the verse: “That the name of the Lord is called upon you.”, b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said to Rav Ḥiyya bar Avin: What is written in the phylacteries of the Master of the world? Rav Ḥiyya bar Avin replied: /b It is written: b “Who is like Your people, Israel, one nation in the land?” /b (I Chronicles 17:21). God’s phylacteries serve to connect Him, in a sense, to the world, the essence of which is Israel.,Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak continues: b Is the Holy One, Blessed be He, glorified through the glory of Israel? /b Rav Ḥiyya bar Avin answered: b Yes, /b as indicated by the juxtaposition of two verses; b as it is stated: “You have affirmed, this day, /b that b the Lord /b is your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His laws and commandments, and listen to His voice.” b And the /b subsequent b verse states: “And the Lord has affirmed, this day, /b that b you /b are His treasure, as He spoke to you, to keep His commandments” (Deuteronomy 26:17–18). From these two verses it is derived that b the Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Israel: You have made Me a single entity [ i ḥativa /i ] in the world, /b as you singled Me out as separate and unique. b And /b because of this, b I will make you a single entity in the world, /b and you will be a treasured nation, chosen by God., b You have made Me a single entity in the world, as it is stated /b that Israel declares God’s oneness by saying: b “Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One” /b (Deuteronomy 6:4). b And /b because of this, b I will make you a single entity in the world, /b unique and elevated with the utterance: b “Who is like Your people, Israel, one nation in the land?” /b Consequently, the Holy One, Blessed be He, is glorified through the glory of Israel whose praises are written in God’s phylacteries., b Rav Aḥa, son of Rava said to Rav Ashi: It works out well /b with regard to the contents of b one /b of the four b compartments /b of God’s phylacteries of the head. However, all four compartments of Israel’s phylacteries of the head contain portions of the Torah that praise God. b What /b portions in praise of Israel are written in b the rest of the compartments /b of God’s phylacteries of the head?,Rav Ashi b said to him: /b In those three compartments it is written: b “For who is a great nation, /b to whom God is close, like the Lord our God whenever we call upon Him?” (Deuteronomy 4:7); b “And who is a great nation, /b who has righteous statutes and laws, like this entire Torah which I set before you today?” (Deuteronomy 4:8); b “Happy are you, Israel, /b who is like you? A people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, and that is the sword of your excellence. And your enemies shall dwindle away before you, and you shall tread upon their high places” (Deuteronomy 33:29); b “Or has God attempted /b to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs and by wonders” (Deuteronomy 4:34); b “And to elevate you /b above all nations that He has made, in praise, in name and in glory; that you may be a holy people to the Lord, your God, as He has spoken” (Deuteronomy 26:19).,Rav Aḥa, son of Rava, raises an objection: b If /b all of these verses are included in God’s phylacteries of the head, b there are too many compartments /b as more than four verses of praise were listed. b Rather, /b the portions in God’s phylacteries must be arranged as follows: The verses b “For who is a great nation” and “And who is a great nation” /b are included b in one compartment, /b as they are similar. b “Happy are you, Israel” and "Who is like your people, Israel" are in one compartment. “Or has God attempted” is in one compartment and “And to elevate you” is /b in one b compartment /b |

When b they reached the /b Women’s b Courtyard /b with the basins of water in their hands, the trumpeters b sounded a i tekia /i , and sounded a i terua /i , and sounded a i tekia /i . /b ,When b they reached the ground /b of the Women’s Courtyard, the trumpeters b sounded a i tekia /i , and sounded a i terua /i , and sounded a i tekia /i . They continued sounding /b the trumpets b until they reached the gate /b through b which /b one b exits to the east, /b from the Women’s Courtyard to the eastern slope of the Temple Mount. When b they reached the gate /b through b which /b one b exits to the east, they turned from /b facing b east to /b facing b west, /b toward the Holy of Holies, b and said: Our ancestors who were in this place /b during the First Temple period who did not conduct themselves appropriately, stood b “with their backs toward the Sanctuary of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east” /b (Ezekiel 8:16), b and we, our eyes are to God. Rabbi Yehuda says /b that b they would repeat and say: We are to God, and our eyes are to God. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong b The Sages taught: One who did not see the Celebration of the Place of the Drawing /b of the Water, b never saw celebration in his life. One who did not see Jerusalem in its glory, never saw a beautiful city. One who did not see the Temple in its constructed /b state, b never saw a magnificent structure. /b The Gemara asks: b What is /b the Temple building to which the Sages refer? b Abaye said, and some say /b that it was b Rav Ḥisda /b who said: b This /b is referring to the magnificent b building of Herod, /b who renovated the Second Temple.,The Gemara asks: b With what /b materials b did he construct it? Rava said: /b It was b with stones of /b green-gray b marble and white marble [ i marmara /i ]. Some say: /b It was b with stones of blue marble and white marble. /b The rows of stones were set with b one row /b slightly b protruded and one row /b slightly b indented, so that the plaster would take /b better. b He thought to plate /b the Temple b with gold, /b but b the Sages said to him: Leave it /b as is, and do not plate it, b as it is better this way, as /b with the different colors and the staggered arrangement of the rows of stones, b it has the appearance of waves of the sea. /b , b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda says: One who did not see the great synagogue [ i deyofloston /i ] of Alexandria of Egypt never saw the glory of Israel. They said /b that its structure b was like a large basilica [ i basileki /i ], /b with b a colonnade within a colonnade. At times there were six hundred thousand /b men b and /b another b six hundred thousand /b men b in it, twice the number of those who left Egypt. In it there were seventy-one golden chairs [ i katedraot /i ], corresponding to the seventy-one /b members b of the Great Sanhedrin, each of which /b consisted of b no less than twenty-one thousand talents of gold. And /b there was b a wooden platform at the center. The sexton of the synagogue /b would b stand on it, with the scarves in his hand. And /b because the synagogue was so large and the people could not hear the communal prayer, b when /b the prayer leader b reached /b the conclusion of a blessing requiring the people b to answer amen, /b the sexton b waved the scarf and all the people /b would b answer amen. /b , b And /b the members of the various crafts b would not sit mingled. Rather, the goldsmiths /b would sit b among themselves, and the silversmiths among themselves, and the blacksmiths among themselves, and the coppersmiths among themselves, and the weavers among themselves. And when a poor /b stranger b entered there, he would recognize people /b who plied b his craft, and he would turn to /b join them b there. And from there /b he would secure b his livelihood /b as well as b the livelihood /b of the b members of his household, /b as his colleagues would find him work in that craft.,After depicting the glory of the synagogue, the Gemara relates that b Abaye said: All of /b the people who congregated in that synagogue b were killed by Alexander /b the Great b of Macedonia. /b The Gemara asks: b What is the reason /b that b they were punished /b and killed? It is b due to /b the fact b that they violated /b the prohibition with regard to Egypt in b this verse: “You shall henceforth return no more that way” /b (Deuteronomy 17:16), b and they returned. /b Since they established their permanent place of residence in Egypt, they were punished., b When /b Alexander b arrived, he found them, /b and saw b that they were reading /b the verse b in the /b Torah b scroll: “The Lord will bring a nation against you from far, /b from the end of the earth, as the vulture swoops down; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand” (Deuteronomy 28:49). b He said, /b referring to himself: b Now, since that man sought to come by ship in ten days, /b and b a wind carried it and the ship arrived in /b only b five days, /b apparently the verse referring a vulture swooping down is referring to me and heavenly forces are assisting me. Immediately, b he set upon them and slaughtered them. /b ,§ The mishna continues: b At the conclusion of /b the first b Festival /b day, etc., the priests and the Levites descended from the Israelites’ courtyard to the Women’s Courtyard, where they would introduce a significant repair. The Gemara asks: b What /b is this b significant repair? Rabbi Elazar said /b that b it is like that which we learned: /b The walls of the Women’s Courtyard b were smooth, /b without protrusions, b initially. /b Subsequently, they affixed protrusions to the wall surrounding the Women’s Courtyard. Each year thereafter, for the Celebration of the Place of the Drawing of the Water, they placed wooden planks on these projections and b surrounded /b the courtyard b with a balcony [ i gezuztra /i ]. And they instituted that /b the b women should sit above and /b the b men below. /b , b The Sages taught /b in the i Tosefta /i : b Initially, women would /b stand b on the inside /b of the Women’s Courtyard, closer to the Sanctuary to the west, b and the men /b were b on the outside /b in the courtyard and on the rampart. b And they would come to /b conduct themselves with inappropriate b levity /b in each other’s company, as the men needed to enter closer to the altar when the offerings were being sacrificed and as a result they would mingle with the women. Therefore, the Sages b instituted that the women should sit on the outside and the men on the inside, and still they would come to /b conduct themselves with inappropriate b levity. /b Therefore, b they instituted /b in the interest of complete separation b that the women would sit above and the men below. /b ,The Gemara asks: b How could one do so, /b i.e., alter the structure of the Temple? b But isn’t it written /b with regard to the Temple: b “All this /b I give you b in writing, /b as b the Lord has made me wise by His hand upon me, /b even all the works of this pattern” (I Chronicles 28:19), meaning that all the structural plans of the Temple were divinely inspired; how could the Sages institute changes?, b Rav said: They found a verse, and interpreted it homiletically /b and acted accordingly: |
