Y esto puede afeitarse a Chol Hamoed: Alguien que regresa del extranjero [a Chol Hamoed, que no tuvo tiempo de afeitarse antes. Esto, solo si fue al extranjero para comerciar o por alguna otra necesidad, pero si lo hizo solo para viajar, está prohibido.], Uno que es liberado del cautiverio, otro que es liberado de la prisión, [incluso si estuvo encarcelado por un israelita, que le habría permitido afeitarse (a pesar de lo cual no se afeitó), estando en peligro], uno que es liberado de su excomunión por los sabios [en Chol Hamoed, que no podía afeitarse antes de eso, afeitarse prohibido a alguien que es excomulgado]; asimismo, alguien que fue absuelto de su voto [de no afeitarse] por un sabio (en Chol Hamoed) [no haber podido encontrar un sabio que pudiera hacerlo antes de eso; o de lo contrario, no haber podido encontrar "una apertura para la absolución" hasta entonces.], y un nazareo, [que completó su naziritismo en Chol Hamoed], y un leproso que ascendió de la impureza a la limpieza. [Si su séptimo día cayó en Chol Hamoed, se le permite afeitarse, a saber. (Levítico 14: 9): "En el séptimo día, se afeitará todo el cabello". (No se menciona el afeitado de un nethek (una mancha blanqueada), ya que es una actividad menor, solo afeitarse en el lugar). La razón por la cual todos, excepto los mencionados en nuestra Mishná, tienen prohibido afeitarse en Chol Hamoed porque no planifique afeitarse luego, cuando estén libres de trabajo, y así ingrese sin afeitar el primer día del festival. Y esta también es la razón por la que está prohibido lavar la ropa en Chol Hamoed.]
Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim
24In addition to the Beṣah text (צ), this paragraph also is in Moˋed qaṭan 3:1 (81d line 27,ק). Babli 53a, Berakhot 19a, Beṣah23a. It was stated: Rebbi Yose said, Theudas of Rome led the people of Rome to eat helmeted kid-goat in the Passover nights, the Sages sent and said to him, if you were not Theudas, would we not put you in the ban? Who was Theudas? Rebbi Ḥananiah said, because he was providing for the rabbis. Are you not causing the public to eat sancta outside the Temple? And anybody causing the public to eat sancta outside the Temple has to be put in the ban.

Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah
“Rabban Gamliel sent to him, if you hinder the public you will make them stumble in the future.” Would you not hinder the public from performing a meritorious act? And any who would hinder the public from performing a meritorious act must be excommunicated279Cf. Mo`ed qatan 3:1, Ta`aniot3:12.. Rebbi Jehudah the baker280This attribution seems to be correct and the quote in the Babli 22a has to be corrected accordingly. said, Heaven forbid that Rebbi Aqiba was excommunicated; but it was the head of Gader281This name was introduced into the text by the corrector from the Babli. In the ms. ג()ר was written by the scribe; the middle letter was erased by the corrector and replaced by ד. Therefore the name certainly is incorrect, also because talmudic Gadara is on the East side of Lake Genezareth, far from the road to Jabneh. Therefore most likely the name is Gezer, a district capital on the road from Lydda to Jabneh. In the Babli one has to read גֶדֶֿר, with dh indistinguishable in sound from z. (Places Haggedera, Gederotaim, Gederot mentioned Jos. 15:37.41.); Rabban Gamliel sent and removed him from his headship.

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
HALAKHAH: “Simeon ben Shataḥ sent to him and told him, you should be excommunicated.” For if there had been a decision made as it was decided in the days of Elijah106When the decision about rainfall was delegated by God to Elijah (1K. 17:1; cf. Sanhedrin 10:2, Notes 147ff.)., would you not have caused a desecration of the Name in public107If the decision had been given into the hands of another holy man, his prayer would have been ineffective and people would conclude that prayer is ineffective and stop praying.? And everybody who causes a public desecration of the Name must be excommunicated. [There, we have stated: Rabban Gamliel sent to him, if you hinder the public you will cause a deluge. Would you not hinder the public from performing a meritorious act? And any who would hinder the public from performing a meritorious act must be excommunicated.]108Corrector’s addition; totally garbled copy from Roš Haššanah 1:5, Note 279. He answered him, but does not the Holy One, praise to Him, cancel His decision because of the decision of a just person109This is the standard interpretation of Ps. 145:19, the pleasure of those who fear Him He will do and similar verses as explained in the next paragraph. Babli Mo`ed qaṭan 16b.? He said to him, [yes]110Corrector’s addition, unnecessary.. The Holy One, praise to Him, may cancel His decision because of the decision of a just person, but He will not cancel the decision of one just person because of the decision of his just colleague111This is the essence of the reference to Elijah..

HALAKHAH: It was stated: “One does not answer ‘Amen’ in the Temple. What did they say? ‘Praised be the glory of His Kingdom forever and ever.’ And from where that one does not answer ‘Amen’ in the Temple? The verse says179Neh. 9:5., Arise, praise the Eternal, your God, forever and ever. From where for every single benediction? The verse says, and exalted over all praise and glory.180Tosephta 1:11. Babli 16b, Berakhot 63a, Soṭa40b; Yerushalmi Berakhot9:7 (Notes 278–280).”
