מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ לֶאֱכֹל צָלִי בְלֵילֵי פְסָחִים, אוֹכְלִין. מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ שֶׁלֹּא לֶאֱכֹל, אֵין אוֹכְלִין. מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ לְהַדְלִיק אֶת הַנֵּר בְּלֵילֵי יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, מַדְלִיקִין. מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְהַדְלִיק, אֵין מַדְלִיקִין. וּמַדְלִיקִין בְּבָתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹת וּבְבָתֵּי מִדְרָשׁוֹת, וּבַמְּבוֹאוֹת הָאֲפֵלִים, וְעַל גַּבֵּי הַחוֹלִים:

In a place where it was the custom to eat roast on Pesach night, they eat. In a place where it was the custom not to eat it, [the impression being given that they are eating consecrated food outside of Eretz Yisrael], they do not eat. In a place where it was the custom to light a candle on Yom Kippur, they light it, [it being forbidden to cohabit on Yom Kippur, and so long as a candle is burning, one will not do so, it being forbidden to cohabit by the light of a candle]. And in a place where it was the custom not to light, they do not light, [lest he look upon his wife and be attracted to her and he come to cohabit with her.] And they are lit in houses of prayer and houses of study and dark alleyways and above (the heads of) the sick [i.e., in any place where a man and his wife are not wont to be alone.]
