what does it cancel! — There it is different, because it is [retrospectively] revealed that it was a weekday.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. the last day of Elul, in spite of the fact that it was celebrated as New Year. ');"><sup>13</sup></span> Come and hear [a refutation] from the second clause: 'but if not, it does not cancel the debt'. Now, it is well if you say that it can be claimed, hence he teaches [that] it does not cancel [the debt]; but if you say that it cannot be claimed, then what is meant by 'it does not cancel [the debt]'? — That if he [the debtor] pays him, he accepts it: whence it follows that the first clause means that [even] if he pays him he must not accept!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Surely not! The year of release does not actually cancel debts but merely deprives the creditor of his right to exact them. ');"><sup>14</sup></span>

Tosefta Sotah

Rabbi Ishmael said: From the day that the Temple was destroyed, it would be appropriate that we not eat meat or drink wine (since these were used in the Temple service). But a court does not decree (restrictions) on the community which they cannot uphold. He would say that since they (the Romans) decree upon us that we not learn Torah, we should decree upon the community that they not marry women (since they do not know marriage and family laws), and not have children - and as a consequence, the seed of Abraham will cease. Rather, leave Israel alone (to continue to do as they now do, marrying and having families); it is better that (if they transgress), they do so inadvertently and not intentionally.
