Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

“Wearing shoes”. It was stated: In all cases where they said that one may not wear shoes, when he departs on a trip he puts them on, when he arrives at a walled city he takes them off; this includes the mourner and the person in the ban215Babli Mo`ed qaṭan15b. The Yerushalmi version is quoted by Or zarua§277.. There are Tannaim who state, one goes in slippers216Latin impilia, -ium(pl/) “felt slippers”. on the day of Atonement; and there are Tannaim who state, one does not. Rav Ḥisda said, he who said one goes, in textile slippers, and he who said one does not go, in leather slippers217Yebamot12:1, Note 35, Babli Yebamot102b.. Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman visited Rebbi Joshua ben Levi in the night of the Great Fast218The day of Atonement.; he came to him wearing laced shoes219A leather sole with a textile upper part held together by laces.. He asked him, what is this? He answered, I am asthenic220Greek ʼασθενής. Since the rules of not wearing leather shoes are rabbinic, they are waved for health reasons.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman visited Rebbi Joshua ben Levi in the night of a fast day221A rabbinic fast day.; he came to him wearing laced shoes. He asked him, what is this? He answered, I am asthenic.

A student of Rebbi Mana instructed a relative of the Patriarch to wear laced shoes41The ninth benediction where in winter one prays for rain, Mishnah Berakhot5:2.. He asked him, from where?
