However, we for our part maintain: be careful with an old man who has forgotten his learning.

That beard is of the category of one who breaks the tablets, not the broken tablets that are placed in the Ark. And examine this carefully. Indeed, in the last game we saw that we take away a quarter of the money on the word of one man (for in the first quarter that beard ceased from its labor, its sacred labor).

It does not stand to reason that this great man would shave his beard, for one cannot rely on the statement of the latter-day Dr. Rabbi Elazar Ze'ira, since I have received a tradition from rabbi and rabbi from rabbi that one may not shave with depilatory cream, a law given to Moses at Sinai; and we have not gone so far as fencing in billy goats, even for the honor of the holy Sabbath, and there is also concern for wondrous appearance.

But trimming his mustache at least is permitted. And besides that, human dignity is great enough to override, etc.
And in any case, if it is indeed so in the future that they will institute a feast for him at the time of raising the trophy, it is certainly permitted.

However, this is what must be asked: how should the judge rule in the future at the time of raising the Western Conference trophy? Does it have the legal status of a trophy, making that time a favorable moment? Or perhaps this is nothing but deep counsel—the counsel of the wicked. For in truth it is not a trophy at all; rather, the commissioner wants to give importance to this eighth-place finisher of the Western Conference. And through the leniency you were lenient with at the beginning, you became stringent with at the end.

Let it stand unresolved.
