If he prepares a dish on the eve of a holiday, he may bake and cook for his sake and keep warm for his sake. He may eat it as long as the day lasts and is authorized to give it away. At the beginning and at the end there is no measure.

What is the "laying of hands" that Beit Shammai disagreed about? They say, "There is no laying of the hands on festivals, and [as to] peace offerings, he brings them and lays hands on them on the evening before the festival." [And] Beit Hillel says, "They bring peace offerings and burnt offerings and lay their hands on them [on the day of the festival]" (Chag. 2:2-3). Said Beit Hillel to Beit Shammai, "Since at a time that you do not permit commoners (non-priests) to perform [laying of the hands], you permit it to be performed for the Most High, thus, at a time that you do permit commoners to perform [laying of the hands], is is not logical that you should [certainly] permit it [to be performed] for the Most High?" Beit Shammai said to them, "Vows and freewill offerings are proof, since they are permitted to be performed by commoners but are not permitted for the Most High." Beit Hillel said to them, "No. If you are speaking of vows and freewill offerings, which do not have a fixed time, what would you say regarding festival offerings, which do have a fixed time?" Beit Shammai said to them, "However, there are instances that a festival offering has no fixed time, since if [one did not bring a festival offering] on the first Yom Tov of the festival, he [nonetheless] may celebrate the whole festival and on the last day [he brings it]." Abba Shaul would state a different version [of this exchange] in the name of Beit Hillel: "Since at a time when your stove is closed down, the stove of your Master is open, then at a time that your stove is open, would not the stove of your Master also be open?" Another version: "It is in order that your table not be full, while the table of your Master is empty."

Rabban Shimon b. Gamliel says: The house of Shammai used to say that a priest because of his Heave no immerse on public holiday bath. But he may go into immerse when he passes from one purpose to another and from one group to another. What does it mean "when he passes over from one purpose to another"? If he wants to use his dough on his press or use his press for his dough, he immerses on the same day.

One may not immerse vessels on the holiday. One must not make Hashakah in a stone vessel to water to clean it on the Sabbath. These are words of Rabbi. But the other sages say: One may immerse the vessel in the water on the holiday and one may do hashaka in a stone vessel in order to make clean but not to immerse are vessels through a parental impurity become impure, so one must not submerge them on the holiday; and you don't even have to say: On the Sabbath. But he may fill a cup, a bucket, or a drinking vessel, to drink, and thinks of it and submerges her. He may go into hiding as usual because of a severe impurity; and one need not even say: Because of a slight impurity.

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.

The members of the house of Rabban Gamliel’s used to sweep between the beds on the holiday. R. Elazar ben Zadok said: Often I ate in Rabban Gamliel’s house, but I have never seen the beds swept on a holiday. Rather, linen cloths were spread out the day before the holiday, and when the guests had gone, they were removed. They said to him: If this is so, then it is permitted to do so on the Sabbath too.

The members of the house of Rabban Gamliel's used to ground pepper in their mill. R. Elazar ben Zadok said: Once my father came to dine at Rabban Gamliel’s house. So, they put fish broth and vinegar broth in front of him, with pepper ground onto it. Then my father pulled his hands away. Rabban Gamliel said to him: Don't worry about him; it was ground up the day before the holiday.

R. Shimon says: One may have a bed, a chair, a bench or pull up a chair on the Sabbath; and one don't even have to say: on a holiday.

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.”

Also he declared three decisions of a lenient character:One may sweep up [on a festival] between the couches, And put spices [on the coals] on a festival; And roast a kid whole on the night of Passover. But the sages forbid them.
