Bezah, a tractate (so called after its opening word) of the order Mo'ed, in the Mishnah, Tosefta, Babylonian Talmud, and Jerusalem Talmud. The tractate deals with the laws of festivals, but whereas each of the other tractates of the order Mo'ed deals with a specific festival, Bezah, in the main, discusses the laws common to festivals in general; for this reason this tractate is also called Yom Tov ("festival"). The tractate consists of five chapters in both the Mishnah and the Talmud, but of only four in the Tosefta. The halakhic content of the Mishnah, of which the first two chapters consist chiefly of differences of opinion between Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel, derives in part from Temple times (e.g. 2:7; 3:8; 5:5) and in part from the period of Jabneh (2:6). The Mishnah gives for the most part the opinions of various tannaim who were disciples of R. Akiva, but it also contains many anonymous mishnayot of later tannaim who were contemporaries of Judah ha-Nasi. Bezah in the Babylonian Talmud contains many teachings of Palestinian scholars who reached Babylon by way of the nehutei, but which do not appear in the Jerusalem Talmud. Conversely, the text of the tractate in the Jerusalem Talmud contains statements of Babylonian scholars which are not found in the Babylonian Talmud. Bezah contains many additions of the savoraim (26a, 27a, 35b), as well as older material revised by them.

This edition of the Talmud was authorized to be printed for selected Tractates only and in a pocket size, so as not to compete with the Proophs of Amsterdam edition. Despite the efforts and the many approbations issued for the edition, the printer was unsuccessful in selling his inventory.
