In three cases Rabban Gamaliel pronounces a rigorous ruling according to the opinion 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 wafercakes. They said to him: what can we do as regards your father`s house, for they were rigorous in re spect to themselves but were lenient towards Israel to let them bake both large loaves and white bread. |

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. |
