While researching Jewish references to Jesus, I came across these interesting Sabbath laws. They are from the referenceInto His Own (http://www.dinur.org//resources/resourceHitCounter.aspx?resourceid=15078&resURL=http%3A//virtualreligion.net/iho/). The site had over a million hits.
Babylonian Talmud, Shabbath 128a, words of Rabbi Judah (ben El'ai):
And one may pluck (grain) by hand and eat,
but only if one plucks without a utensil;
and one may rub [matal = "husk"]and eat,
but only if he does not rub a lot in a utensil.
Mishna, Shabbath 22.6:
(On the Sabbath) one is not to work on an infant or set a fracture.
If one dislocated his hand or foot, he may not pour cold water on it;
but he may wash it in his (usual) way.
Mishna, Shabbath 14.4 :
One who has pain in his loins may not pour wine or vinegar (on them on the Sabbath); but he may anoint it with oil---but not with rose oil.
