Mishnah תענית ב׳:י׳ · Taanis 2:10
אֵין גּוֹזְרִין תַּעֲנִית עַל הַצִּבּוּר בְּרֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ, בַּחֲנֻכָּה וּבְפוּרִים,
וְאִם הִתְחִילוּ, אֵין מַפְסִיקִין,
דִּבְרֵי רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל.
אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר,
אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אֵין מַפְסִיקִין, מוֹדֶה הָיָה שֶׁאֵין מַשְׁלִימִין.
וְכֵן תִּשְׁעָה בְאָב שֶׁחָל לִהְיוֹת בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת.
One does not decree a public fast on Rosh Chodesh, Chanukah, or Purim;
and if they had already begun, one does not interrupt —
these are the words of Rabban Gamliel.
Said Rabbi Meir:
although Rabban Gamliel said one does not interrupt, he conceded that one does not complete the fast.
And so too Tisha B’Av that falls on erev Shabbos.

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.

Structure
Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.

Mishnah Insights
An amalgam of commentaries, including original insights.

These insights draw on the commentaries to this Mishnah and on the recorded shiur. Those commentaries often rest on earlier sources — the Gemara, the Yerushalmi, the Rishonim, and one another — without always saying so; where they do, we generally cite the one we read. Every commentary consulted is kept, verbatim, with this page.
