The entire day is valid for reading the Megillah; reciting the Hallel; blowing the shofar; taking the lulav; [reciting] the Musaf prayer; [offering] the musaf-sacrifices; the confession [recited with the offering] of the bulls; the confession [recited with] the tithe; the confession of Yom Kippur; leaning the hands [on the head of a sacrificial animal]; slaughtering [of sacrifices]; waving [of sacrifices]; bringing near [the vessel with the meal-offering to the altar]; taking a handful [of the meal-offering] and burning it; nipping [the neck of the bird-offerings]; receiving [the blood of sacrifices]; sprinkling [the blood of sacrifices]; causing the sotah to drink; decapitating the heifer; and the cleansing of the metzora.

The entire night is valid for the reaping of the omer, and for the burning of [sacrificial] fats and limbs.  This is the general rule: Any rite which is to be done by day may be performed throughout the day; any rite which is to be done at night may be performed throughout the night.

[If] the representatives of a town sell the town square, they must use the proceeds [of that sale] to purchase a synagogue. [If they sell] a synagogue, they must purchase an Ark; [if they sell] an Ark, they must purchase wrappings [for the Torah scrolls]; [if they sell] wrappings, they must purchase Books [of Scripture]; [if they sell] Books [of Scripture], they must purchase a Torah scroll.  However, if they sold a Torah scroll, they may not [use the proceeds to] purchase Books [of Scripture]; [if they sold] Books [of Scripture], they may not purchase wrappings [for the Torah scrolls]; [if they sold] wrappings, they may not purchase an Ark; [if they sold] an Ark, they may not purchase a synagogue; [if they sold] a synagogue, they may not purchase a square. [Moreover], the same is true of any leftover [proceeds].  Communal property may not be sold to an individual for this would lessen the sanctity of the article —- this is the opinion of R’ Yehudah. They said to him: If so, [they may] not even sell [the synagogue] of a large town to [the residents of] a small town.

They may not sell a synagogue except under the condition that, if they wish, they may repurchase it —- this is the opinion of R’ Meir. The Sages say, however, they may sell it permanently [and for any purpose] except for [the following] four uses: as a bathhouse, a tannery, a mikveh, or a water closet. R’ Yehudah says: They may sell it as a courtyard and the purchaser may do as he pleases.
