Young Israel of Westside Shiurim

Shabbos 94

  1. If someone carries out less than dried fig size of food they are exempt. Even if the food was inside a container they are exempt bc the container is secondary to the food. But if they intend to use the container in the second domain, they are liable for the container.

  2. If someone carries out fig size of food with a container and rhe intend to use the container in the second domain, they’re liable “also for the container.” This can mean if they find out about the foods liability before the containers liability they would have to bring two korbanos.

  3. Carrying live person is not forbidden from the Torah bc live people automatically assist the carrier by shifting their weight. Even if the person is lying in a bed there’s no obligation bc the bed is secondary.

  4. Carrying out live animals is dispute. R Nassan says even there the carrier is exempt bc live animals shift their weight but the rabanan say animals stiffen and the Carrier is obligated.

  5. All agree that tied up people/animals in ropes don’t have this leniency bc they don’t shift their weight.

  6. R shimon holds מלאכה שאין צריכה לגופה פטור, so carrying out even dead bodies won’t be obligated bc one doesn’t need to use the dead body in the second domain. Even if the intent is to bury the body, it’s still not צריכה לגופה bc the carrier isnt benefiting from using the body.

  7. If the body is in danger lying in one domain, all agree it’s permitted to move it to a karmelis on Shabbos bc כבוד הבריאות pushes away the drabanan.

  8. It is forbidden to “remove tzaras.” The minimum white hairs inside a spot to be tzaras is 2. If there were 2 hairs and someone removed one, they are liable. If there were 3 and someone removes 1, there’s a dispute. Rav Sheshes says he’s exempt bc 2 hairs remain but rav Nachman says he’s liable bc it could become significant if another hair would be removed.

  9. Someone who Carries an olive size from corpse is liable. If there was only an olive size left and someone carries out 1/2 they are liable bc it’s significant act bc it removes tumah (size for tumah is an olives worth). If there 1 and 1/2 olive size and someone carries out 1/2 olive, it’s be same dispute like by tzaras.

  10. Cutting fingernails and hair is gozez- like shearing wool from animals. Rabanan says liability is only if removed with vessel but r Eliezer says even with ones own hands there’s liability. The size for liability is removing two hairs, unless it’s one random white hair in the middle of darker ones (although men shouldn’t do that)

  11. If fingernail is Mostly off and it’s causing pain, it is permitted to remove it with ones hand.
