משנה: פּוֹרֶפֶת עַל הָאֶבֶן וְעַל הָאֱגוֹז וְעַל הָמַּטְבֵּעַ וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא תִפְרוֹף בַּתְּחִלָּה בַּשַּׁבָּת: MISHNAH: She ties down with a stone, or a walnut, or a coin on condition that she not start tying down on the Sabbath28To make sure that the veil stays in place they tie weights, such as pebbles or walnuts, into both ends of the veil and wear them on their backs..
הלכה: תַּנֵּי. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר. לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא מַטְבֵּעַ וָאֶבֶן. הָא בְאֶגּוֹז מוּתָּר. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מִיטַּלְטֵל. אָמַר רַב אָדָא בַּר אַהֲבָה. אַתְיָא דְּרַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל כְּרִבִּי מֵאִיר. כְּמַה דְרִבִּי מֵאִיר אָמַר. דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא מִיטַּלְטֵל מוּתָּר. כֵּן רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר. דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא מִיטַּלְטֵל מוּתָּר. HALAKHAH: It was stated: Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, they stated only coin and stone. Therefore with a nut it is permitted, because it may be moved206This refers to Mishnah 7, that Median women may use a stone or a coin to tie down their head cover only if they already used them for this purpose during the week, so that stone or coin become part of their garment and do not become forbidden to be moved at the start of the Sabbath. Even though a nut is mentioned with stone and coin in the Mishnah, one is permitted to use a new nut on the Sabbath since as food it may freely be moved. AsOr zaruaˋ §64[20] notes it seems that the Babli 65b makes a distinction in that a stone may be designated (but not yet used) as part of the garment and then used the first time on the Sabbath whereas a coin must have been used before the start of the Sabbath.. Rav Ada bar Ahava said, It results that Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel parallels Rebbi Meïr. Just as Rebbi Meïr said207It is not too clear which statement of Rebbi Meïr is referred to; possibly the authorship of Tosephta 4:13, that anything moveable on the Sabbath may be used to tie down a head cover, is attributed to him. In G, “Meïr” is missing but it cannot be said that the father, Rabban Simeon, decided parallel to the teaching of his son, Rebbi., what may be moved is permitted, so Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, what may be moved is permitted.
