Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan

HALAKHAH: 9This text is re-written from a text in Ta`aniot 2:12, Notes 185–189.“And the following shave on the holiday: He who comes from overseas, or from being kidnapped, or leaves jail.” Therefore all other people are forbidden? Rebbi Simon said, they decreed about them so they should not enter the holiday badly groomed10Babli 14a.. There, we have stated11Mishnah Ta`aniot 2:13.: “The people of the watch and those of the bystanders are forbidden to shave and to wash their garments, but on Thursday they are permitted because of the honor of the Sabbath.” Therefore on all other days they are forbidden? Rebbi Yose, Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan; Rebbi Abun, <rebbi yasa>12Added from Ta`aniot and G. in the name of Ḥizqiah: They decreed about them so they should not enter their week badly groomed.
