Text Excerpt
והא מיפלג פליג עילויה, דתניא, רבי יהודה אומר: מעלין את המדומע באחד ומאה. רבי שמעון בן אלעזר אומר: נותן עיניו בצד זה ואוכל מצד אחר.
Doesn’t he disagree with him? As it was taught in a baraita that R' Yehuda says: One may lift a measure of teruma that was nullified from a mixture of 100 measures of non-sacred produce and one measure of teruma. R' Shimon ben Elazar says: One casts his eyes on this side of the mixture and decides to separate a se’a from the produce on that side, and he eats from a different side of the mixture.
דרבי יהודה עדיפא מדרבי שמעון בן אלעזר.
The Talmud rejects this: Fundamentally, the two tanna’im agree, but the opinion of R' Yehuda is more far-reaching than the opinion of R' Shimon ben Elazar. R' Yehuda says that since thought is sufficient, lifting the se’a does not render the produce fit for consumption, and it is preferable if he lifts the se’a even on Shabbat.
מתני׳ האבן שעל פי החבית — מטה על צדה, והיא נופלת. היתה בין החביות — מגביהה ומטה על צדה, והיא נופלת.
Mishnah: With regard to a stone, which is set-aside on Shabbat and may not be moved, that was placed on the mouth of a jug, one tilts the jug on its side, and the stone falls. If the jug was among other jugs, and the other jugs might break if the stone falls on them, he lifts the jug to distance it from the other jugs, and then tilts it on its side, and the stone falls.
מעות שעל הכר — מנער את הכר, והן נופלות. היתה עליו לשלשת — מקנחה בסמרטוט. היתה של עור — נותנין עליה מים עד שתכלה.
With regard to coins that are on a cushion, he shakes the cushion and the coins fall. If there was bird dung (Arukh) on the cushion, he wipes it with a rag, but he may not wash it with water because of the prohibition against laundering. If the cushion was made of leather, and laundering is not a concern, he places water on it until the bird dung ceases.
