Fire Up Your Learning Talmud Tisch -Intermediate Talmud: Tractate Shabbat, Lesson 37 - Masechet Shabbat — Pg 26a Furthering the previous discussion about substances that can or can't be used to keep Shabbat serenity burning, we segue into the nature of vegetative sources of the required fuel.

(Tractate Shabbat 26A)
