MALCHUT: YESHIVAT HAVERIM יְשִׁיבָה חברים – BABYLONIAN TALMUD p79

A candelabrum is a different matter altogether, for R. Ahai b. Hanina in the name of R. Assi said: Resh Lakish has decided in Zidon, a candelabrum which can be removed with one hand may be handled, but if it has to be removed with both hands it may not; and R. Johanan said: We only hold with R.
Simeon in the matter of a lamp; but as for a candelabrum, whether it can be removed with one or
both hands, it is prohibited. And why so? Both Rabba and R. Joseph said: Because a separate
place must be designated for it.
Said Abayi to R. Joseph: “Have we not observed the case of a baldaquin prepared for a bride
and groom, for which a place must be designated? And yet Samuel said in the name of R. Hyya
that such may be put up and taken apart on the Sabbath.” Said Abayi: The prohibition to handle
the candelabrum holds good only in a case where the same is made of several parts. If this be the
case, what reason has R. Simeon b. Lakish for allowing this? Say: Not a candelabrum made of
various parts, but if it looks like a candelabrum of various parts. Therefore a candelabrum made
of several parts, be it large or small, must not be handled. The handling of a large candelabrum,
even if not made of several parts, is also prohibited on account of its marked lines, for fear one
may handle such as are made of several parts. And the point of their differing is: With a small
candelabrum which looks as if made of several parts, one takes the precautionary measure lest
one handle that which is really made of several parts, while the other does not care for such a
precaution.
R. Malkia chanced to be in the house of R. Simlai and handled a candlestick, the light in which
had been extinguished, and R. Simlai became angry on that account. R. Jose the Galilean
happened to be in the town of R. Jose b. Hanina and did the same, whereupon R. Jose b. Hanina
became angry. R. Abuhu, however, when he happened to be in the place of R. Jehoshua b. Levi,
handled, but when he came to the place of R. Johanan he did not handle a candlestick in
question out of respect to R. Johanan. R. Jehudah said: A lamp which has been filled with oil
may be handled after the light has been extinguished (because it emits no bad odor), but one
which contained naphtha may not be handled (on account of its bad odor). Both Rabba and R.
Joseph also permit this.
