, fol. 122, col. 1.
When a Gentile lights a candle or a lamp on the Sabbath-eve for his own
use, an Israelite is permitted to avail himself of its light, as a light
for one is a light for a hundred; but it is unlawful for an Israelite to
order a Gentile to kindle a light for his use.
A hundred Rav Papas and not one (like) Ravina!
A hundred zouzim employed in commerce will allow the merchant meat and
wine at his table daily, but a hundred zouzim employed in farming will
allow their owner only salt and vegetables.
_Yevamoth_, fol. 63, col. 1.
A hundred women are equal to only one witness (compare Deut. xvii. 6 and
xix. 15).
Ibid., fol. 88, col. 2.
If song should cease, a hundred geese or a hundred measures of wheat
might be offered for one zouz, and even then the buyer would refuse
paying such a sum for them.
_Soteh_, fol. 48, col. 1.
Rav says, "The ear that often listens to song shall be rooted
out." Music, according to the idea here, raises the price of
provisions. Do away with music and provisions will be so
abundant that a goose would be considered dear at a penny.
Theatres and music-halls are abominations to orthodox Jews, and
the Talmud considers the voice of a woman to be immoral.
