A
With regard to the words,
“Let us lodge in the villages,” do not read
the phrase as:
In the villages [
bakefarim
], but rather
as:
By the deniers [
bakoferim
],
meaning,
come and I will show You
the nations of the world,
whom You showered with good, but
yet
they have denied You.
Eruvin 21b:19
He used to say: They who dwell in villages and they who travel in the wilderness lead a miserable life, their money is not secure, and their children are not their own.
Tractate Derekh Eretz Zuta 10:4
§ It
is taught
in a
baraita
, with regard to the appearance of signs indicating puberty in young women, that
Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says:
In the case of young
women
who reside in
cities,
the
lower
sign
appears
more
quickly
than the upper sign,
because they frequent the bathhouses,
which stimulates the growth of the hair. By contrast, in the case of young
women
who reside in
villages,
the
upper
sign
appears
more
quickly
than the lower sign,
because they grind with mills…
Niddah 48b:5
And Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: A
walled
city that does not have ten idlers,
i.e., individuals who do not work and are available to attend to communal needs,
is treated as a village.
The Gemara asks:
What is he teaching us? We
already
learned
in a mishna (5a):
What is a large city? Any
city
in which there are ten idlers;
however, if there are
fewer than that, it is a village.
The Gemara answers: Nevertheless,
it was necessary
for Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi to teach this
halakha
with regard to a large
city…
Megillah 3b:14
“Come, my beloved, let us go out to the field; let us stay the night in the villages” (Song of Songs 7:12).
“Come, my beloved, let us go out to the field.” The Divine spirit is shouting and saying: Let us go and stroll in the expanses of the world. “Let us stay the night in the villages [
bakefarim
],” with those who deny [
bakoferim
] Him, these are the cities of the nations of the world who denied the existence of the Holy One blessed be He. Rabbi Abba bar Kahana said: Nevertheless, it is only temporary.
Shir HaShirim Rabbah 7:12:1
HALAKHAH:
“If somebody causes a vow of his wife that she should not go to her father’s house,” etc. Rebbi Ze‘ira said, they stated there: If he made her make a vow that she should not wash in the bathhouse, in walled cities one week, in villages two weeks. That she should not wear shoes, in villages three months, in walled cities 24 hours.
Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot 7:4:2
§ The mishna taught:
What is
considered a plague of
pestilence?
If it is
a city that sends out five hundred infantrymen,
and three dead are removed from it on three consecutive days, one dead per day, this is a plague of pestilence.
The Sages taught:
If
a city that sends out fifteen hundred infantrymen,
i.e., one that has a population of at least fifteen hundred men, e.g.,
the village of Akko, and nine dead are removed from it on three consecutive days,
i.e., three dead per day,
this is
considered a plague of
pestilence.
Taanit 21a:15
MISHNA:
The Megilla is read on the eleventh, on the twelfth, on the thirteenth, on the fourteenth,
or
on the fifteenth
of the month of Adar,
not earlier and not later.
The mishna explains the circumstances when the Megilla is read on each of these days.
Cities [
kerakin
] that have been surrounded by a wall since the days of Joshua, son of Nun, read
the Megilla
on the fifteenth
of Adar, whereas
villages and large towns
that have not been walled since the days of Joshua, son of Nun,
read
it
on the fourteenth…
Megillah 2a:1-5
Abaye said: Come
and
hear
a proof based on what is stated in a mishna (
Eduyyot
2:3):
Even he,
Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava, who was quoted earlier in this mishna,
testified about a small village that was adjacent to Jerusalem, and there was an old man there who would lend
money
to all the residents of the village. And he would write
the documents
in his handwriting and others
would
sign. And the incident came before the Sages and they deemed it valid. And why
did they deem it valid?
Isn’t there a need
to fulfill this verse: “I took the…
Gittin 20b:17
There grew two cedars on the Mount of Olives. Under one of them there were four shops selling in purity; from the other they were bringing 40
seah
of pigeon chicks every single month and from there were providing all of Israel with nests. Mount Simon was producing 200 barrels of fig pieces every Friday. Why was it destroyed? Some say, because of whoring; but some say it was because they were playing ball. 10’000 towns were on King’s Mountain; Rebbi Eleazar ben Ḥarsom owned 1’000 of them, and correspondingly 1’000 ships on the Sea. And all of them were destroyed…
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit 4:5:16
Rava said: And in a city,
where there are typically many buyers,
even if he placed water on the meat it
can be
sold,
and the mourning period need not be postponed.
Rav Pappa said: And in a village, even if he did not place water on the meat, it cannot
be
sold,
because no buyers can be found to purchase a quantity of meat that great. Based on the statements of Rava and Rav Pappa, whether or not water was placed on the meat is irrelevant both in a large city and in a village…
Ketubot 4a:4
§
Rava said: All that Ezekiel saw,
the prophet
Isaiah saw
as well, but the latter did not find it necessary to describe his vision in such detail.
To what may Ezekiel be compared? To a villager who saw the king
and is excited by all the extravagances of the king’s palace and everything it contains, as he is unaccustomed to them.
And to what may Isaiah be compared? To a city dweller who saw the king.
Such an individual focuses on the encounter with the king, and is oblivious to all the distractions…
Chagigah 13b:5
3) (Vayikra 25:40) ("As a hired man and as a sojourner shall he be with you; until the Yovel year shall he work with you.") "As a hired man": Just as a hired man (Devarim 24:15) "On his day shall you give him his hire," so, this one, "On his day shall you give him his hire." "as a sojourner": Just as a sojourner (Devarim 23:17) "… what is good for him; you shall not oppress him," so, this one "… what is good for him; you shall not oppress him." "shall he be with you": "with you" in eating, "with you" in drinking, "with you" in covering — that you not eat a clean loaf and he eat a coarse loaf…
Sifra, Behar, Chapter 7 3
MISHNAH:
One does not give heave from one species for another species; if he gave, his heave is no heave. All kinds of wheat are one. All kinds of figs, dried figs, and fig cakes are one; he may give heave from one for the other. At a place where there is a Cohen one gives from the best, but where there is no Cohen he gives from what is durable. Rebbi Jehudah says, one always gives from the best.
One gives a small whole onion as heave but not half a large onion. Rebbi Jehudah says it is not so, one rather gives half a large onion…
Jerusalem Talmud Terumot 2:2:1
The Gemara
raises an objection
from a
baraita
against Rav’s ruling that it is prohibited to keep a cat.
Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: One may raise village dogs, cats, monkeys, and genets, because they serve to clean the house
of mice and other vermin. The Gemara resolves the apparent contradiction: It is
not difficult. This
ruling in the
baraita
is stated
with regard to a black
cat, which is harmless, whereas
that
ruling of Rav is stated
with regard to a white
cat, which is dangerous.
