Ezra enacted ten regulations when he led the Jews to return to the land of Israel from Babylon. They include
* Worshipers read from the Torah scroll during the Minchah service on the Sabbath;
* They read from the Torah on Monday and Thursday;
* The courts adjudicate on Monday and Thursday;
* The people launder on Thursday to honor the Sabbath;
* People should eat garlic on Friday night because it increases the semen;
* A woman shall rise early on Friday morning and bake so that bread would be available to the poor;
* Peddlers of perfumes shall circulate in towns to make adornments available to women.
