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.
