Quotation for Pesachim 10:8

וְאֵין מַפְטִירִין אַחַר הַפֶּסַח אֲפִיקוֹמָן. יָשְׁנוּ מִקְצָתָן, יֹאכְלוּ. כֻּלָּן, לֹא יֹאכֵלוּ. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, נִתְנַמְנְמוּ, יֹאכְלוּ. נִרְדְּמוּ, לֹא יֹאכֵלוּ:

Ve'en maftirin after the Pesach afikoman. [I have heard this ("maftirin") explained as in (Psalms 22:8): "Yaftiru besafa" ("They open and say"). My rabbis understood it in the sense of "haniftar mechavero" (taking leave of one's friend), i.e., when one "takes leave" of the meal, it should not be concluded by saying "Afikoman" (acronymic for) "Afiku manaichu" ("Take out your utensils"), i.e., "Take your utensils from here and let us go and eat elsewhere." One may not do this in order to eat loaf (i.e., matzah) or anything else — a decree lest one come to eat of the Pesach in two places. But to eat other things in one's original place is permitted, so long as he does not leave his company to eat them with a different company. And there is a view in the gemara according to which "afikoman" is understood as "Afiku minei metika" ("Bring out kinds of sweets"). After eating the Pesach they are not to "take leave" of the meal by partaking of sweets and fruits, which they were wont to eat as dessert. (They are not permitted to do so) even in their place, so that the taste of the Pesach not leave their mouths. This is the essential interpretation. And just as "ein maftirin after the Pesach afikoman," so "ein maftirin after matzah afikoman." That is, when there is no Pesach, one must eat an olive-size of matzah at the end. And after that matzah, one may not take leave of it with the eating of something else.] If some of them slept, they may resume eating; if all of them slept, they may not resume eating. [If they began eating their Pesach, and all of them fell asleep, they may not resume eating (when they awake), the impression thereby being given of eating in two places. For their sleeping interrupts their intent to continue eating, so that it (eating when they awake) is like eating in two places. This is just a stringency (of observance and not the essential halachah). The same holds for matzah at this time.] R. Yossi says: If they slumbered, they may eat; if they fell asleep, they may not eat. [This refers to the first tanna's statement: "If some of them slept, they may resume eating." R. Yossi comes to tell us that this is so only if they slumbered but did not actually fall asleep. But if some of them fell asleep, they (those who fell asleep) may not resume eating when they awake. The halachah is in accordance with R. Yossi.]

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

MISHNAH: One mixes him the third cup, he says Grace102Which requires a cup of wine anyhow.. The fourth, over which he finishes the Hallel and recites the benediction of the song103The benediction after the recitation of the Hallel in the synagogue.. Between these cups104After the first cup up to the conclusion of the meal., he may drink if he wants to drink; between the third and the fourth he may not drink. After the Pesaḥ one may not serve afiqoman105While in Halakhah 4 this was interpreted as ἐπὶ κῶμον, the Halakhah here gives other interpretations..

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

MISHNAH: If part of them slept, they may eat; if all of them, they may not eat106Sacrifices become disqualified if they are not permanently guarded. If the entire company sleeps before the Pesaḥ is consumed, the meat automatically is disqualified and impure. Rebbi Yose says, if they107The entire company subscribing to one Pesaḥ. were sleepy, they may eat, if they slept they may not eat. The Pesaḥ after midnight110When rabbinically it may no longer be eaten (Mishnah Zevaḥim 5:8), it is treated as leftover. makes hands impure. Piggul111A sacrifice slaughtered with the intention of consuming it after its allotted time or at an unauthorized place. While it is a deadly sin to consume piggul, the impurity imposed on it is purely rabbinical and weaker than biblical impurity. and leftover112A qualified sacrifice left after the time allotted to its consumption. make the hands impure. If he recited the benediction for the Pesaḥ113“Praise to You, Eternal, our God, King of the universe, Who sanctified us by His commandments and commanded us to eat Pesaḥ” (Tosephta 10:13). it exempted that of the family sacrifice114“Praise to You, Eternal, our God, King of the universe, Who sanctified us by His commandments and commanded us to eat sacrifice.” For R. Ismael, the Pesaḥ is the main dish, the family sacrifice is a filler and does not need a separate benediction (Mishnah Berakhot 6:7). For R. Aqiba the two are coordinate, neither is subordinate to the other.; the one for the family sacrifice does not exempt the one for the Pesaḥ, the words of Rebbi Ismael. Rebbi Aqiba said, neither one exempts the other.
