He who says [that] he commits trespass holds, One may redeem sacred food in order to feed dogs therewith; while he who rules [that] he does not commit trespass holds, One may not redeem [etc.].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If these Tannaim held with R. Simeon that during Passover it is forbidden for general use, they would agree that he is not liable for trespass, since it was valueless when he actually ate it, notwithstanding that it would become valuable after Passover. But they hold with R. Jose the Galilean that leaven is permitted for use during Passover. Now, the only use to which leaven can be put then is to give it to dogs. This may be done with ordinary leaven, but there is a controversy in respect of sacred leaven. The first Tanna holds that it can be redeemed for that purpose: hence the leaven is valuable, and therefore the eater commits trespass. But the others ('some say') hold that sacred leaven may not be redeemed for dogs. Consequently it has no value, and the eater does not commit trespass.');"><sup>15</sup></span> R'Aha B'Raba recited
Tosefta Megillah
There is no difference between a holiday and Shabbat except for [work pertaining to preparation of] food. R' Yehuda said "also [work pertaining to] allowing for [preparation of] food. R' Nechunya ben Hakana said "Yom Kippur is like Shabbat with respect to payment for civil damages." There is no difference between the second set of three fasts and the last set of seven fasts except for blowing [the shofar] and closing the markets. There is no difference between one who swears off benefit from his fellow and one who swears off food from his fellow except for walking through the others' property and implements that are not used for food.

Tosefta Ketubot
Rabbi Nehunya ben Ha-Kanah says: A man who has sex with his sister, with his paternal aunt, with his maternal aunt, with his wife's sister, with his brother's wife, with his uncle's wife, with a niddah—they do not have the fine [since he is liable for death]. And so too Rabbi Nehunya ben Ha-Kanah used to say: Yom Kippur is like Shabbat for monetary fines [on both, for many transgressions, he is exempt from monetary fines because he is liable for death or karet].
