שְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל מַחֲמִיר כְּדִבְרֵי בֵית שַׁמַּאי, אֵין טוֹמְנִין אֶת הַחַמִּין מִיּוֹם טוֹב לַשַּׁבָּת, וְאֵין זוֹקְפִין אֶת הַמְּנוֹרָה בְיוֹם טוֹב, וְאֵין אוֹפִין פִּתִּין גְּרִיצִין אֶלָּא רְקִיקִין. אָמַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, מִימֵיהֶן שֶׁל בֵּית אַבָּא לֹא הָיוּ אוֹפִין פִּתִּין גְּרִיצִין, אֶלָּא רְקִיקִין. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה לְבֵית אָבִיךָ, שֶׁהָיוּ מַחֲמִירִין עַל עַצְמָן וּמְקִלִּין לְכָל יִשְׂרָאֵל, לִהְיוֹת אוֹפִין פִּתִּין גְּרִיצִין וְחֹרִי:

In three things R. Gamliel adopts the stringent view, as per the ruling of Beth Shammai: Hot food may not be stored (to be kept warm) from yom tov to Shabbath. [For Beth Shammai hold that one may not bake (on yom tov) unless he has made an eruv with a loaf, and he may not cook unless he has made an eruv with a (cooked) dish, and he may not store food (to be kept warm) unless he had warm food stored from yom tov eve. And Beth Hillel hold that one may bake and cook and store on an eruv of cooked food alone. However, in the gemara it is indicated that Beth Hillel also require loaf and meat. And this is the halachah.] And a menorah is not set up on yom tov. If a menorah of linked sections came apart, it is not set up again; for this is like building, and (interdicted) "building" obtains with vessels. And Beth Hillel hold that "building" does not obtain with vessels.] And loaves are not baked thick (on yom tov), but thin. [Beth Shammai hold that it is forbidden to bake large loaf on yom tov, and Beth Hillel hold that it is permitted, for when it is large, it bakes better.] R. Gamliel said: "All the days of my father's house, they never baked thick loaves but only thin ones." They responded: "What can we do for your father's house, who were stringent with themselves and lenient with all of Israel, allowing them to bake thick loaves and chori [a large piece of dough baked on coals, requiring much lighting, for the coals keep on going out, and exertion is entailed. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Gamliel in respect to all of his stringencies as per Beth Shammai.]

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

The members of Rabban Gamliel’s house used not to set up a candlestick on the holiday, an incident involving Rabban Gamliel and the elders who were at table; a chandelier fell over on the night of the holiday. R. Akiba stood up and set him up. Then Rabban Gamliel said to him: Akiba, how dare you stick your head in the controversy? Then he said to him: Our master, you have taught us: "to judge according to the majority". hence: Even if you forbid, and they allow, the halakha corresponds to the words of the majority. R. Yehuda says in the name of Rabban Gamliel: One may move a lampstand from one place to another, but one may not erect it.

Mishnah Eduyot

In three cases Rabban Gamaliel was strict like the words of Beth Shammai.One may not wrap up hot food on a festival for the Sabbath; And one may not join together a lamp on a festival; And one may not bake [on festivals] thick loaves but only wafer-cakes. Rabban Gamaliel said: “In all their days, my father’s house never baked large loaves but only wafer-cakes.” They said to him: “What can we do with regards to your father’s house, for they were strict in respect to themselves but were lenient towards Israel to let them bake both large loaves and even charcoal-roasted loaves.”
