Talmud for Ta'anit 2:1

אף הוא סבור שמא הזכירו מבערב והוא הוי מדכר מכיון דהוא חמי לון דלא מדכרין בקדמיתא ומדכרין באחריתא אף הוא יודע שלא הזכירו מבערב. א"ר ר' חייה בר מרייא הכין הוה ר' יונה אביך הוי בה. ר' חגיי בשם ר' פדת אסור ליחיד להזכיר עד שיזכיר שליח ציבור. ר' סימון בשם רבי יהושע בן לוי בשליח ציבור הדבר תלוי. א"ר מנא קומי ר' חגי מה ופליג א"ל לא. דא דאת אמר בשליח ציבור הדבר תלוי יחיד אם רצה להזכיר מזכיר בטל ודא דאת אמר אסור ליחיד להזכיר עד שיזכיר שליח ציבור בגשם. קמון לצלותא כמי שהזכיר שליח ציבור. כשם שתחיית המתים חיים לעולם כך ירידת גשמים חיים לעולם. ר' חייה בר בא שמע לן מן הדא (הושע ז) יחיינו מיומים ביום השלישי יקימנו ונחיה לפניו ונדעה נרדפה לדעת את ה' כשחר נכון מצאו. כתיב (מלכים א יז) ויאמר אליהו התשבי מתושבי גלעד אל אחאב חי ה' אלהי ישראל אשר עמדתי לפניו אם יהיה השנים האלה טל ומטר כי אם לפי דברי. ר' ברכיה אמר רבי יוסה ורבנין חד אמר בין על הטל בין על המטר נשמע לו וחורנה אמר על המטר נשמע לו ועל הטל לא נשמע לו מאן דאמר על המטר נשמע לו ועל הטל לא נשמע לו מן הדין קרייא (מלכים א יח) לך הראה אל אחאב ואתנה מטר על פני האדמה מאן דאמר בין על הטל בין על המטר נשמע לו איכן הותר נדרו של טל א"ר תנחום אדרעיא סברין מימר נדר שהותר מכללו הותר כולו. אית דבעי מימר בבנה של צרפית (מלכים א יז) ויקרא אל ה' ויאמר ה' אלהי הגם אל האלמנה אשר אני מתגורר עמה הרעות להמית את בנה. א"ר יהודה בר פזי לאחד שגנב נרתיקו של רופא עם כשהוא יוצא נפצע בנו חזר אצלו ואמר לו אדוני הרופא רפא את בני אמר לו לך והחז' את הנרתיק שכל מיני רפואות נתונין בו ואני מרפא את בנך כך אמר לו הקדוש ברוך הוא לאליהו

Come and see, [let us test this hypothesis by implication from our mishnah]: "...from the time that the Kohanim go in to eat their terumah." It is [still close to] daytime. It is as soon as the stars come out!? [and the Tosefta says:] "...from the time when people usually go in to eat their bread on the eve of the Sabbath." That is an hour or two after nightfall! [These are obviously two very different times.] And yet you say: "These opinions are close enough to be equal!?" --Rabbi Yose said: "Let the problem be resolved [by claiming that the Tosefta refers only] to those small villages whose way is to go on up [home] while it is still day, to spare themselves from the animals." It teaches in a Baraita: "The one who recites [the Shema] before this has not fulfilled their obligation. If so, why do we recite it [before nightfall] in the synagogue? Rabbi Yose said: 'We do not recite it in the synagogue to fulfill its obligation. Rather, [we recite it] so that we may stand up in prayer after a word of Torah." Rabbi Zeira in the name of Rav Yirmiyah: "If there is doubt whether he made the blessings after his food or not, he should make the blessings [even though he may be doing it a second time]. For it is written (Deut. 8:10) 'And you shall eat, and you shall be satisfied, then you shall bless [the LORD your God...]' If there is doubt whether he prayed or not, he should not pray [as he may have already done so.]" But he disagrees with Rabbi Yohanan. For Rabbi Yohanan said: "If only a person could pray the entire day!" Why? For prayer is never a waste. If there is doubt whether he recited [Shema] or not, we may gather from this baraita: "The one who recites [the Shema] before this has not fulfilled their obligation." And is not before [nightfall] a time of doubt? And yet you say "he should recite [Shema]." This implies that if there is doubt whether he recited [Shema] or not, he should recite [Shema]. [From Tosefta 1:1] "The indicator of this is when the stars come out. And though there is no proof of it [from Scripture], there is a trace of it: (Neh. 4:21) '...we were doing the labor, and half of them were holding the spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.' And he writes: '...it is guard-time for us by night and labor by day." How many stars should come out so that it becomes night? Rabbi Pinhas in the name of Rabbi Abba bar Papa: "One star, surely day. Two, doubt. Three, surely night." "...two doubt," [really]? But is it not written, "...until the stars came out!?" Rather, [the plural] "stars" indicates two! [Not three!]--The first one doesn't count. [An unattributed baraita:] "If he sees one star on the eve of the Sabbath and performs a creative task, he is exempt [from punishment]. Two, he brings a conditional guilt offering, Three, he brings a sin offering. On the departure of the Sabbath, if he sees on star and performs a creative task,

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

HALAKHAH: “The order of these fast-days was said,” etc. What is their “immediately”? Rav said, Monday3The first Monday after the need became evident. Babli 19b., Thursday, and Monday. If it became abnormal on Monday, what about sounding the alarm on Thursday4But Mishnah 2:15 forbids to start a series of fast-days on Thursdays.? Rebbi Ze`ira understood it from the following5Dan. 10:12.: He said to me, do not fear, Daniel, since from the first day when you intended to fast before the Eternal, your God, your words were heard. Already your words were heard. And here, since the Court were determined to do it is as if they did6The fast-day is proclaimed immediately but executed only the next Monday..

Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim

“Onias the digger of ditches.” He was digging ditches and caves37To create miqwaot for pilgrims to the Temple. and knew which rock cools the water and which rock was dry and how far its dryness extended. Rebbi Aḥa said, but (he) [his son]38Reading of B and the corrector, to be deleted. died of thirst. 39The text also is in Yom Ṭov3:9 (Note 124, צ). Rebbi Ḥanina said, anybody who says that the All-Merciful is indulgent, his intestines shall dissolve themselves; for He is forbearing and then collects His due. Rebbi Aḥa said, it is written40Ps. 50:3., His surroundings are very hairy. He is exact with them like a hair’s width. Rebbi Yose said, not because of this reason, but because what is written41Ps. 89:8., He is awesome on His surroundings, His fear on those near Him is greater than those far away.
