(Mishnah): One who brings jugs of wine from place to place should not bring them in a basket or box; but he may bring them in front of him on his shoulder.

One who carries straw should not sling it behind him; rather, he should carry it in his hand.

One may begin taking fuel from a pile of straw but not from the wood store (called the Muktzah).

(Gemara - R. Chanin bar Levi): The Mishnah is referring to small jugs, the size of which a person can carry two or three in one hand.

But if there was one large utensil, it is normal to carry both in front (on his shoulder) and behind him.

(Rather, what should he do?) Just as we said earlier that one may bring a whole animal with its skin (as it is considered an irregular way to carry it), so too here, he should bring the large utensil with the large jug that it is inside.

Just as we said that an animal that was slaughtered in the field may not be brought in on a rod but rather, it must be brought in limb by limb; so too, he should bring the wine (small) jug by jug. (Even though he will be forced to walk more, it is still preferable.)

Query (R. Yudan): May a person take straw from a private to a public domain?

Answer: It is taught in our Mishnah - One who carries straw (for his animals) should not sling it behind him; rather, he should carry it in his hand.

Response: Our Mishnah follows the opinion that when the Pasuk states (Shemos 12, 16), "[except you may make for yourselves that which] every soul [eats]'', it permits a person to cook on Yom Tov even for their animal.

R. Yudan's query is according to opinion that the Pasuk does not permit cooking for one's animal.

But according to the opinion that the Pasuk also permits cooking for one's animals, is it not obvious?

The case of the Mishnah is obviously permitted as he is taking out the straw to feed his animals. But R' Yudan's query was about taking the straw out to burn. (This is a question even according to this opinion that one may cook for one's animals.)

R. Yaakov bar Acha quoting R. Yasa: Fruits that were put out to dry and they finished drying on Yom Tov - they may not be moved (Muktzah) as they were unusable at the onset of Yom Tov.

Rebbi to his son R. Shimon: Go up and bring us dried figs from the attic.

R. Shimon replies: Are they not Muktzah?

Rebbi responds: Do you still need this Halachah? The only foods that are Muktzah are figs and grapes.

R. Shmuel bar Misartai explains: Because as soon as they begin to dry, they become inedible until they are fully dried.

R. Zeira asks R. Yasa: It is logical to say that Rebbi spoke to his son about 'Pitzulaya' dates that never ripen on the tree (and they are placed in palm-branch baskets to ripen. They are dissimilar to figs and grapes as one does not actively reject them and some people eat them.)

R. Yasa replies: I agree. R. Yosi bei R. Bun said that R. Yitzchak bar Bisna quoted R. Yochanan as saying the same thing.

R. Zeira: The only foods that are Muktzah are figs and grapes.

R. Yaakov bar Zavdi quoting R. Abahu: This is true for the laws of Shabbos, but as for Maaseros, fruits are only obligated in Maaser when their work is complete. (Beforehand, a person may snack on them without the need to separate Maaseros. Therefore, fruits which are drying are not obligated in Maaseros until they are completely dry).

R. Yosa: There is a Mishnah (in Maseches Maaseros) that teaches this - [at the following times, these fruits become obligated in Maaseros] - dried figs, when they are trodden inside the barrel; dried figs in a storage bin, when they are pressed together with a roller.

(Mishnah): One may not take wood from a hut; only from loose wood that is nearby.

One may bring wood from the field, from stored wood and from a Karpef (enclosure) even from scattered wood.

What is considered a Karpef? R. Yehuda says - Whenever it is close to the town.

R. Yosa: Whenever it has a door with a lock, even if it is within the Techum Shabbos.

(Gemara - the Mishnah taught): One may not take wood from a hut; only from loose wood that is nearby.

Shmuel: It is permitted when he does not intend to use this wood to widen the hut, but if he did, it is prohibited. This is true when he did not make a stipulation that he wishes to use them on Yom Tov; however, if he did, it is permitted.

Question (Rav Nachman bar Yaakov): Can a person stipulate that he is permitted to demolish tents on Yom Tov?

He would say in the name of Shmuel, that it is permitted when the Sukah fell down. (There is no issue of destroying; Muktzah is the only issue - this can be solved with a stipulation in advance.) Rav Nachman bar Yaakov was doubtful about this answer.
