Eduyos 1:10-11

Eduyos 1:10

If a person exchanges a sela of second-tithe money in Jerusalem, Beis Shammai say he may take copper coins for the whole sela, while Beis Hillel require that he take a shekel (half the sela) in silver and a shekel in copper coins (to avoid having more than he needs). The students who deliberate in front of the Sages say that he may take three dinar in silver and one dinar in copper; Rabbi Akiva says three full dinar in silver and, of the fourth, silver plus one-quarter (half a dinar) in copper coins; Rabbi Tarfon says he may change it for four asper in silver (the value of an asper being subject to some debate). Shammai says that he should leave the money in a shop as credit and eat until he has used it up.

Eduyos 1:11

Beis Shammai say that a bridal chair whose coverings have been removed is still susceptible to ritual-uncleanliness, though Beis Hillel say that it is not. Shammai says that even the frame of the chair alone is susceptible to uncleanliness. If a chair was connected to a kneading trough, Beis Shammai say that it is susceptible to uncleanliness (i.e., it’s still a chair) but Beis Hillel say that it isn’t (because it’s now part of a trough). Shammai says that such a chair is susceptible to uncleanliness even if it was originally built this way (and was never a discrete chair to begin with).
