      English translation
      Even if you say that the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda, it can be argued that when Rabbi Yehuda said that it is good to take a vow and fulfill it, he said it with regard to a gift offering, but he did not say it with regard to vows. The Gemara asks: But isn’t the mishna teaching that according to Rabbi Yehuda, better than both this and that is one who vows [ noder ] and pays, which indicates that he says this even about vows? The Gemara answers: Teach the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda with the following, emended formulation: Better than both this and that is one who volunteers [ nodev ] a gift offering and pays it. The Gemara asks: What is different about one who vows, i.e., one who says: It is incumbent upon me to bring an offering, which is not proper to do due to the concern that perhaps he will encounter a stumbling block and not bring it promptly, thereby violat…

      English translation
      with regard to the prohibitions against eating leavened bread on Passover and eating on Yom Kippur, which are punishable by karet , we rely on letters sent from the rabbinical court in Eretz Yisrael publicizing whether the year was declared a leap year and when they have declared the New Moon; here, with regard to the mitzva of ritual fringes, which is merely a positive mitzva, is it not all the more so correct that letters can be relied on? Rather, Rava said: This is a statement that I said, and it was stated in the West, Eretz Yisrael, in the name of Rabbi Zeira in accordance with my opinion: The reason for the rabbinic decree is lest one’s cloak rip within three fingerbreadths of the edge of the corner of the garment, which is where the ritual fringes are placed, and he sew it with linen string and then use the excess string for ritual fringes. And in such a case the ritual fringes wo…

      English translation
      the seller is not compelled to sell the field another time, i.e., to provide the purchaser with a document denoting him as the owner of the field. But if he said to him: I will purchase the field on the condition that you will provide a deed in my name, the seller is compelled to sell the field again, i.e., to provide the purchaser with a document denoting him as the owner. The Gemara clarifies the baraita : The Master said: In the case of one who purchases a field in the name of another, the seller is not compelled to sell the field another time. The Gemara asks: Isn’t this obvious? The Gemara answers: Lest you say that the purchaser can say to the seller: You knew that I took, i.e., purchased, the field for myself, and it was merely for protection [ ufanaḥya ] that I desired to obtain ownership by claiming to purchase it in the name of the other person, and I do not throw out money for…

      English translation
      Do not boast of tomorrow, For you do not know what the day will bring. Let the mouth of another praise you, not yours, The lips of a stranger, not your own. A stone has weight, sand is heavy, But a fool’s vexation outweighs them both. There is the cruelty of fury, the overflowing of anger, But who can withstand jealousy? Open reproof is better than concealed love. Wounds by a loved one are long lasting; The kisses of an enemy are profuse. A sated appetite disdains honey, But to a ravenous appetite, even the bitter is sweet. Like a sparrow wandering from its nest Is a man who wanders from his home. Oil and incense gladden the heart, And the sweetness of a friend is better than one’s own counsel. Do not desert your friend and your father’s friend; Do not enter your brother’s house in your time of misfortune; A close neighbor is better than a distant brother. Get wisdom, my son, and gladden…
