Talmud for Moed Katan 1:9
מַעֲמִידִין תַּנּוּר וְכִירַיִם וְרֵחַיִם בַּמּוֹעֵד. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אֵין מְכַבְּשִׁין אֶת הָרֵחַיִם בַּתְּחִלָּה:
It is permitted to set up an oven, a stove, and a mill on Chol Hamoed. [It is permitted to build, set up, and repair an oven that is needed on Chol Hamoed. Because their ovens were moved from place to place, we have "set up."] R. Yehudah says: It is not permitted to sharpen [and hammer] a millstone (on Chol Hamoed) ab initio [if it is too smooth and does not grind well. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Rebbi Isaac the son of Rebbi Ḥiyya the Scribe suffered an accident52I. e., a close relative died.. Rebbis Mana and Yudan went to him. There was good wine, they drank a lot53More than the 10 cups allowed. The entire story is an introduction to the following baraita about the cups to be drunk in a house of mourning. (A cup of wine consists of two thirds water and one third wine). and laughed. The next day they wanted to visit him again. He said to them: Rabbis, is that what a man does to his friend? Yesterday, the only thing that was missing for us was that we would get up and dance!
