Beis Shammai say: Spices may be crushed [on Yom Tov] with a wooden pestle, but salt [should be crushed] with a flask, or with a wooden mixing spoon. But Beis Hillel say: Spices may be crushed in their usual manner with a stone pestle, but salt [should be crushed] with a wooden pestle.

One who separates pulse on Yom Tov — Beis Shammai say: He must separate the edible parts and eat. But Beis Hillel say: He may separate in his usual manner — into his lap, into a basket or into a large plate; but not on a board, nor with a fine sieve, nor with a coarse sieve. Rabban Gamliel says: He may also rinse [the pulse] and skim [the chaff].

Beis Shammai say: We may not send [presents] on Yom Tov with the exception of [readied] portions. But Beis Hillel say: We may send domestic animals, beasts or fowl, whether alive or slaughtered. We may send wines, oils, fine flours and pulse, but not grain. But R’ Shimon permits grain [to be sent].

We may send garments, whether sewn up or not sewn up, even if they contain a mixture of wool and linen, because they enhance the [enjoyment of] Yom Tov. But [we may] not [send] a sandal with spikes, nor an unsewn shoe. Rabbi Yehudah says: Not even a white shoe [may be sent], because it requires a craftsman. This is the rule: Whatever can be used may be sent on Yom Tov.
