Text Excerpt

מתני׳ חבית שנשברה מצילין הימנה מזון שלש סעודות, ואומר לאחרים: באו והצילו לכם. ובלבד שלא יספוג. אין סוחטין את הפירות להוציא מהן משקין, ואם יצאו מעצמן ⁠— אסורין. רבי יהודה אומר: אם לאוכלין ⁠— היוצא מהן מותר. ואם למשקין ⁠— היוצא מהן אסור. חלות דבש שריסקן מערב שבת, ויצאו מעצמן ⁠— אסורין, ורבי אליעזר מתיר.

Mishnah: From a jug of wine or oil that broke on Shabbat, one may rescue from it food sufficient for 3 meals, and one may also say to others: Come and rescue food for yourselves. This applies provided that one does not soak up the wine or oil with a sponge or rag, due to the prohibition of squeezing. One may not squeeze fruits on Shabbat in order to extract liquids from them. And if liquids seeped out on their own, it is prohibited to use them on Shabbat. R' Yehuda says: If the fruits were designated for eating, the liquid that seeps from them on Shabbat is permitted. There is no concern lest one purposely squeeze liquids from fruit that is designated for eating. And if the fruits were originally designated for liquids, the liquids that seep from them on Shabbat are prohibited. In the case of honeycombs that one crushed on Friday, and honey and wax seeped from them on their own on Shabbat, they are prohibited, and R' Eliezer permits using them.

גמ׳ תנא: לא יספוג ביין ולא יטפח בשמן, שלא יעשה כדרך שהוא עושה בחול. תנו רבנן: נתפזרו לו פירות בחצר ⁠— מלקט על יד על יד, ואוכל, אבל לא לתוך הסל ולא לתוך הקופה, שלא יעשה כדרך שהוא עושה בחול.

Talmud: It was taught in the Tosefta: One may not soak up wine and one may not collect oil in his hand, so that one will not conduct himself on Shabbat in the manner that he conducts himself during the week. A baraita states: If one’s fruit was scattered in a courtyard on Shabbat, one may collect them from hand to hand, a little at a time, and eat them immediately. However, one may not collect them into a basket or into a box, so that one will not conduct himself on Shabbat in the manner that he conducts himself during the week.
