Apportioned Laws (Halakhot ketsuvot)
All women’s jewelry is permitted [to be carried in the public domain and from one domain to another] on the Sabbath. On the Sabbath, it is permitted to carry an amulet that has been proven effective but not rings that are used as seals.
It is permitted to put a bandage on any wound on the Sabbath; it is even permitted to place a piece of fabric on a wound.
It is prohibited to fold garments on the Sabbath. If one has others to change into, it is prohibited, but if one does not have others, it is permitted to fold as one wishes [see. m. Shabbat 15:3].
It is permitted to wash bowls, all wooden vessels, and all earthenware vessels, used for eating, but only up to the afternoon [prayer]. However, it is permitted to wash drinking vessels all day long [see b. Shabbat 118a].
If one forgot bread in the oven and does not have anything to eat, one may take out from the oven sufficient food for three meals, and it is permitted to eat that food [see b. Shabbat 117b].
Regarding all types of plants that are required for food on the Sabbath, one may grind them in a mortar, squeeze them, and it is permitted to eat them. But if one does so for their juices, it is prohibited.
It is prohibited to grind mustard on the Sabbath, and it is likewise prohibited to grind garlic and cress. However, it is permitted to grind pepper, each one individually, and calamus, and costus, and cinnamon, in a mortar, provided one changes slightly from his weekday manner.
It is permitted to prepare spiced wine [a mixture of wine, honey, and peppers]. However, one may not strain it through a garment, but [only] with a sieve or a sifter, or with an Egyptian basket, which is like a kind of netting. This is to prevent one from squeezing, as any squeezing is prohibited [see m. Shabbat 20:2].
It is permitted to run for the sake of a commandment or for a matter of a halakhah.
If a boat entered the Sabbath boundary before the Sabbath, when there was enough time for the person to look out and know that he was within two thousand cubits—which are two mil—of a settled area, he is permitted to leave the boat on the Sabbath along the ramp which sailors place for embarking [see m. Eruvin 4:2; m. Shabbat 16:8]. Likewise, if the boat was dragged along the ground, it is permitted to come and go via the ramp. However, it is prohibited to remove anything from it. If the boat did not enter the Sabbath boundary before the Sabbath, it is prohibited to leave it, whether or not it was dragged along the ground, and the same applies to all the festivals.
It is prohibited to fill a bucket with water from the sea on the Sabbath, but it is permitted to do so with a bowl that is four by four handbreadths in size [see b. Shabbat 100b].
It is permitted to throw shells and bones into the sea on the Sabbath [see b. Shabbat 100b].
If non-Jews were innocently bringing water for their own requirements, it is permitted to drink from that water. However, regarding all types of fruit and plants that a non-Jew brought for a Jew, or which non-Jews brought for themselves, if some of that type are still attached to the ground in that season of the year, it is prohibited to eat from them either on the Sabbath or on a festival. Nevertheless, if their season has passed, and they are like raisins or dried figs, such as grass that has withered over three days, it is permitted to consume them if they were brought from within the Sabbath boundary. But if the non-Jew brought them from outside the boundary, they are prohibited. If he brought them for this particular Jew, a different Jew is permitted to partake of them, and likewise, if the non-Jew brought them for himself, a Jew is permitted to eat them [see m. Shabbat 16:8; b. Beẓah 24b].
It is permitted to eat hot bread [made by] non-Jews on the Sabbath.
It is permitted to warm oneself by the fire of a non-Jew, and it is permitted to use the candle of a non-Jew [see m. Shabbat 16:8; b. Shabbat 122a].
