Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan 1.4

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: One may catch the mole and rats from an orchard or a white field normally on the holiday or in the Sabbatical; Rebbi Jehudah says from an orchard normally but from a white field with a change. One mends a breach on the holiday; but in the Sabbatical he builds normally.

HALAKHAH: Eshut is the mole. Even though it is no proof, it is an indication: Like a still-born mole, Never seeing the sun!

One understands a mole; a white field? But a white field next to an orchard.

“Normally”, catching using a trap. “With a change”, he sticks on a spear, hits with an axe, or flattens the earth under it. It was stated: “One destroys ant hills on the holiday. How does one do it? Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, he takes from one and puts them next to another and they will kill one another,” but only is a water canal in between.

“One mends a breach on the holiday,” stone on stone and pebble on pebble; “but in the Sabbatical he builds normally,” stone on pebble and pebble on stone. Only a breach which is not surrounded by dust. But it is forbidden to mend a breach which is surrounded by dust in the Sabbatical year. It was stated such: In the Sabbatical year it is forbidden to fence in any breach which is surrounded by dust; but it is permitted fence in any breach which is not surrounded by dust, unless it represents a danger to the public. But if it represents a danger to the public even though it is surrounded by dust it may be fenced in in the Sabbatical year. As the following: “If his wall was sloping one tears it down and rebuilds.” Could he not tear down and not build? Rebbi Ḥanania in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: They permitted the end because of the beginning. For if you tell him not to build he will not tear down and create a danger.
