Translation:Mishnah/Seder Moed/Tractate Shabbat/Chapter 1/2/Translation

A man may not sit before the barber close to [the time of] mincha,

And may not enter either a bath-house, a tannery, [or enter] to eat, or for judgment [in court].

But if [individuals] began, they do not [need to] interrupt.

We interrupt for the recitation of Shema, but we do not interrupt for prayers.
