Smith. Someone asked me recently he had
a he got a pretty new freezer
refrigerator freezer it is and the
freezer unlike the typical one that has
a one a chest for freezer and a
refrigerator the whole freezer you pull
it out it's a drawer on the bottom of
the refrigerator and you pull out the
whole drawer and he notices that very
often he's moving mukah he's moving raw
meat or the afrasal that people wait to
burn till pes and he's constantly moving
the mukah there's any problem with that
then [clears throat] we have another
problem another question I should say
where someone like many people have this
in the kitchen. They don't have a
garbage can in the in the corner. They
have a drawer. They open the
[clears throat] drawer and they put the
garbage in. So every time they're
opening the garbage, they're moving
muka. Now in a regular garbage can, you
could keep the garbage as it is without
moving it. So touching muks is not a
problem. But here he's moving the
garbage back and forth countless times
over Shabas. So this led us to the
beautiful suggest
one of the early
says and I quote
the buses
he's one of the shabas
if you don't know that
the club if you don't know that you
don't know anything so we don't want to
be part of that club so I'd like to
learn one part of the of certainly a
very important part and as we'll see I
must mention that
is
shabas because mtive like shabas the
truth is some of the main are like
moving a candle and raw and raw meat but
but [clears throat]
on yumptive applies to shabas as well so
on yams applies as well like on shabas
so the truth is The is a that we could
learn and almost miss the point. But the
shabas
now of course you're talking about
that's
was a bottle a barrel of wine that was
obviously very important for Shabas and
it was very valuable. So the Mishna
says, "What happens if you come to make
Kdish and there's an stone on the
barrel?
Don't touch the stone because the stone
is
but you tilt the barrel and the stone
goes flying off." And we would ask
what's the you're not touching, you're
not moving the stone directly
indirectly.
>> [clears throat]
>> What's the So the Gmorra supplies us
with the by adding to the mishra.
The same exact case where you have a
stone on top of a barrel. If you put it
there on Arab of Shabas to stay there
for Shabas, let's say you want to
protect the barrel, but you put a stone
knowingly onto the barrel on on Arab
Shabas and it was there the entire Bash
then not only is the you can't tilt the
stone off [clears throat] because the
barrel is MT but even if a guy took off
the stone the barrel remains m
NASA
here is almost inadvertently telling us
two in number one when it qualifies to
be a bosses then becomes is a barrel of
wine becomes but more than that even if
you got the stone off the wind blew it
off or a guy took it off there's no is
of taking off the stone but since bes
came the stone was a was on the on the
it was a buses so the bus the the barrel
remains muk the entire shabas and that's
incidentally why you can't shake off the
stone by moving the barrel because the
barrel is also so here we have
that
nonm becomes mt and that of course goes
works with the of
if it was a bus
it remains even though you shook it off.
Now the big question which is really the
big answer to all of our shism is why is
this so why is a buses true it was a why
does a buses make
so the emphasis of course
out
but the I think which will give us
information the whole is this
bus is a simple decision and I'll
explain you what I mean you go into the
store and you buy a computer desk so the
desk is very good to learn a raja also
Why did all of a sudden become MUT says
you decided to designate this desk to be
the base to the computer? So it was your
decision to make it a buses. Now
says the following
the
is if it becomes a tuffle it becomes
subordinate it becomes part of the and
you see it clearly by a computer desk.
It's a regular non desk, but if you
designate it to be the base for the
computer, it's part of the computer.
He says
base
is very similar. [clears throat] So it's
basically like
and actually in the top it says it
again.
In other words, the is a base and is
bottle to the fire. So in other words,
the the key word is if it's a base, it's
bottle and tuffle to the mah and takes
on the identity of the mah. I'm almost
tempted to say that just like we find
you could take very good raisins and put
it on the roof because you want to I'm
sorry, very good grapes, put it on the
roof, you want to make it raisins. So
the amor says that's called mutah. Why?
You took edible grapes and put it on the
roof. Now you knew it's going to spoil
in the interim and then becomes raisins.
But at one point you were
I was almost tempted to say that that's
the way basis work. A bus a bus or a
base works. If you designated a a desk
for your computer so you
he speaks about bosses and he says
because you made it a base
it's like you're pushing it off and I
saw in the wonderful
he quotes the Yeshua
that says
that buses works because
that and it's very mavver. So in other
words, let me put this very bluntly.
It's not that was I'm trying to make
your life difficult. It was your
decision, a conscious decision to make
this a base. So you making it and so
those three words is the of today. It's
your decision to make the base to the
now you'll see this even more
pronounced. And
the is a because let's go back a moment.
The says
if you didn't put the stone but you left
it that you forgot. For example, there's
a big stone in the way and you want to
get rid of it for shabas. Now the stone
is muks on shabas. You have to move it
out of shabas. So you're carrying the
stone and you got to call from the
kitchen help. We need help with the ch.
So you just don't know what to do. So
you put the stone down on top of the
Okay, I'll take it off in a minute. You
go into the kitchen, you get busy,
totally forgot. You come to make kdish a
big stone on the so if you remember the
we just learned then the iss
to shake off the stone won't work. But
it's not true because the Gmorrah says
what does the M say
and use the the
what's the
what's the difference is the is you
consciously made it if you it was your
decision so live with it it's if you
forgot to take it off if it was there by
mistake it wasn't your decision there's
no bottle there's no and there's no
whatsoever. So this what we said is
basically the of the word versus and all
this is
[clears throat]
now this we understand another basic
which again not only is but gives us a
better appreciation of the actual
a person comes to shabas morning and to
his great dismay someone left a real
mutzah on his desk
now he knows aid didn't put it on chabas
so he was
So the whole Friday night there was a
real muk on stand and he's very unhappy
because h's book mahict buses mah
dictates he can't use the standenda even
if he'll call a guy to take off the mah
but the standenda is a bus however
there's a gimar that gives us a
different direction the gmor
is nothing to do with but as we know
that the taking is even on the seventh
day of yam
So this what kazal held the busim held I
mean it's the wrong word narc but they
wanted to sabotage this avoid. So when
the yen brought the to the mdish of
shabas they took these and they put a
stone on top of it. So you won't be able
to do it on chabas like our foolish and
not like your okay. So the ma they sab
they they just seem to have sabotaged
the whole so the next morning came he
didn't know much goes what's going on we
we can't have stones they picked up the
stones and threw it to the side ohm so
now you can use the arrows
what does it help the amiratum throwing
away the stones why is it a buses he
says a few words
to make a buses you have to be the and
now what's the ter
because the is bus is not
it's a logic you decided to make your
item a buses fine live with the shabis
without decision but if someone else did
it we find that in other areas in
is that
but here it's more logical because it's
not yours to make it a bosses. So here
we have the second in bosses number one
was number two was b okay now I should
mention that if that theenda is not a
bosses now it doesn't mean the muk is
not a muk because muk is is objective so
you could take theenda which is not
bosses
tilt the standender and the muk goes
falling off so if the if the standender
would have been a buses you can't even
do that but since it's only it's only b
it's not bin you could it's not a bus
shake it off and use
one more question I must mention and
then we'll have the the the three word
you saw then we'll apply
this is a very seems to be very simple
that leisa you have a buses situation or
not now let's say you don't have a bus
situation okay let's say
someone who's not the bum put it on or
it was so So the question let's say you
have a stand with a mah and you don't
mind keep the muk there you'll move the
youender but you won't move the m
is in a few places in but for example
that even though you're not moving
directly but it's called tilt and that
should not be done when avoidable and
the says is that instead of moving the
back and forth and ignoring the MT once
and for all tilt the that's called near
shake the mah in other words tilt moving
the indirectly moving the mah is muta
I want to use but why rely on aa over
and over why don't you shake it off once
get rid of the problem and then move the
is called and this is advisable when sh
now sometimes if you have a very
expensive muk and you're going to be
mana it's going to break so don't do it
but near when possible should be done.
In fact gives us a little of of he in
giml you have a basket full of paris and
your m is a stone in the bottom in it.
So now you have a buses for and is so
we'll soon see it's mut to move the
barrel the the kil the the basket
because it's it's roy
but still when possible shake out oh
take the the basket turn it upside down
and if it's fruit that doesn't get
spoiled like oranges or or apples that
won't get spoiled it's not like a a
moist fruit then everything will
disperse and take all the fruit back put
in the barrel and leave the stone stone
on the ground. This way you avoid moving
the stone indirectly. That's called
tilt.
And again the one last question is a
briefcase. A briefcase the knapsack of
the boy's knapsack. So typically it's a
mixture. The question is how do we look
at a mixture of and so the embassies
that here we're talking about he put a
and he's the bum. [clears throat] So the
truth is from the case of kilk we just
mentioned we have guidance because you
told me there's fruit and a stone and
it's not a bus why is that a buses
because if the ro of it or the value of
it is not we use the simple attitude of
bus arrive. So here we see that of of
buses when it's buses for and is totally
in other words if you have only like the
first case we mentioned deal with it but
if you have a mixture then you go baser.
Now the big question is of course how do
you determine what does roy mean? Is roy
mean in in pieces? Not does roy mean in
in monetary value how much it's worth?
So lameisa a laptop in a briefcase with
a gimmorra I mean the gimmorra is worth
billions but a laptop is a little more
expensive do we go bust up the financial
value so [clears throat] until today we
would say what's the and that's
typically what it is right but yet we
find the gur tells us in
if let's say
the the is where nothing but to you it
has some kind of sentimental value and
it's worth everything. So we don't say
but
if to you the the is worth more it's
okay also. Now the big question is
almost all is but we don't go bus to
each individual why when it comes to
buses do we look at the person the
answer I think is the same it's not it's
a decision so if for you this is
valuable then it's valuable what do I
care about yenim looking at yenim's
appreciation the item is almost like
saying nonvi run the show that's what it
is it's me not someone else what you
tell him he likes it but I don't so I
understand very well that we go we don't
go bus we go b individual it's very much
subject now this will give us a better
appreciation of the the next which I
know is but I think it's you could
definitely be on it and it's extremely
important someone asked the
Italian he asked them point blank you
have $100 on a table and you have a sid
a regular sidum not something you know
that's worth a million dollars a regular
sid or you have $100 $ and you have
glasses.
How do we determine if it's a bus or is
because it both of them are important.
So says it emphatically it's not totally
in monetary value because
is worth much less $100 but it's totally
what you need to use right now.
[clears throat] And therefore he says if
you need the glasses to dab that's worth
more than $100. If you need the sid it's
more than $100. And says the exact same
thing.
And I I want to mention
quote
discipl.
And the best he says is you have a
beautiful table that has a thousands of
dollars like but the kala does the
trick. How much is the kala worth? Okay,
your wife's worth a lot, but it doesn't
come close to
I don't I can't eat. The whole shabas,
the whole table, the whole shabas is for
the suda. So the is for me more valuable
is definitely found in earlier looking.
So is based on the understanding of
buses. It's not totally in what is
actually valuable. It's totally what's
needed
in the chub in the back of Shabas. It's
simal.
He says that perhaps the guide would be
if you had to decide which of the two
would you like. You can only have one.
Choose your preference.
So it's a little more it's not it's a
little more of a it's not totally in
what you need now. It's totally what you
would be mata to get the other thing
that according to that t $100 on a sida
on a regular Tuesday you would take the
$100 now
but I must mention as I told you
and shab and others plus
in fact there's a the
lived over 200 years ago so his in is
It doesn't just mean me versus someone
else. It means what what's needed. So I
think we could definitely rely on this
that if you have a item that you need on
chabas and the other item is more
valuable but it's no it's of no need to
you it becomes a buses for the and as
Mr. Bur explains the is to it. So now
you have a buses for and you're allowed
to move it. [clears throat] So here we
have the following
and a a good point is to remember if you
want to remember the word bo
and me is
[clears throat] okay so let's try to
apply this so in the case of the of
you go what's more
I must mention there's an interesting
question that the asked in Shint if
you're so convinced that Shabis makes a
difference. So how could it be that if
you put the stone on the barrel you
can't move the barrel the stone is
valless and the wine is worth a barrel
of wine. Why is it takosis?
It's it's worth nothing. The muk is
nothing and and and the food is
everything and the terrace is p. He says
we're looking at the buses where what's
supporting the stone. The the buses is
the actual top of the barrel not the
wine. You look at the buses not the
wine. So that's why the the shabas is
very much important for our
let's start. Let's say a person has and
this
he has in his drawer he has mostly has
clothing he needs but he hides his
wallet in the bottom. So he has heta and
he has a little bit of mut but he needs
his socks. More than he needs is his
wallet. So he's okay. Or you have a
freezer door. They're mostly have and
there is a piece of raw chicken frozen
chicken. So the question is the
following. Every shabas I think about I
open the drawer there is mah there but
it's
or I open the freezer and there's I'm
not worried but here's the shabas. Why
don't you be a little
take off the frozen meat from the
freezer door and put into the freezer or
don't hide your wallet that's going to
draw you need hide somebody's house why
on shabas when you want to move an item
you try to make tilt we try to avoid
tiltad and we shake it out so if you
could prevent the problem from shabas
and take out the mah shabas and prevent
tilt
Isn't that plus you have to do that? So
this is the question that always bother
me because when you anytime you open the
freezer door you spot the mah you get
nervous. So
says this regarding a loose leaf that
has written papers and blank paper and
the assumption is that blank papers is
so he says if it's one notebook that's
one so it becomes but if it's separate
papers so
you have to take out the blank papers of
four shabas obviously he felt that if
you could avoid tilt of shabas do it
this is the of yash and Again, I found
this in five of quoting him
the
definitely said this. He says on shaken
out
of Shabas. Now, why is it a very
positive? Cuz if you make on Shabas, you
end up moving it once with a if you make
if you take it out before Shabas, you
didn't do even one. So, you're better
off. So according to this and that's a
little of the issue like
says
now
maybe you could even bring a riot to
this
says you're allowed to use a hammer to
crack a nut but let's say you have a
nutcracker right there if it's easy to
to do it without coming onto the heta of
moving mukah do it as such don't Use muk
unless you have no other choice. No,
here you have a choice. Move the remove
the food of shabas the shabas and do it.
However, the problem is that this shila
is not an maybe the freezer sh is an
shil, but the the concept of having a
and or nonm a case where there's but
it's not there's not a bosses is a is a
and nobody until the say if you could
take it off before shabis do that and
the question is why not so this led both
and they both say we never
they say
now they don't say but if it's not there
it's probably not I did see
he also
there's also but then he adds two number
one it's a
every shabas you have to go to the
freezer take out check if there's meat
there especially if you have a draw
that's has not you have to know check it
every draw and number two he says maybe
on shabas there's a of shabas who said
shabas you have to do something to avoid
an isan which is not so convincing when
we put on a black shabas but anyhow la I
could say the following you raash is
quoted as saying that is should take off
the muk before shabas. Now if you could
do it fine but my experience shows that
shabas is hectic enough and tense enough
without another job. You have another
shabas job run around the whole house
taking out all the mah. So if you want
to do it yourself fine don't give it to
theim they're busy enough and if your
should do it do it but if it comes to
more tension
I think
especially say it's because this is
something that if you start getting into
it you know
and it becomes another shabis frenzy
which really I think we're better off
without it [clears throat]
question a person left a pocket pocket
book which is full of mutzah and the
pocket book is definitely a buses on
chabas because the pocket was made to
keep the wallet and the the make
whatever it is but it's all m but they
put the pocketbook on the door of a
closet and bes came and the pocketbook
was resting comfortably on the door the
question is that the door become a bus
system this could also be naya someone
asked me he said he just had he put into
his in in his front
He has a little monitor, a little small
monitor, but it's very valuable and very
effective and it keeps you know
monitoring what's going on in the house.
Whenever he opens the door, he moves the
monitor and a monitor is a real muk. So
the question is when you have mah on a
door, how does talk about opening the
door? So we would say what's the shafka
mounted the monitor or put the
pocketbook on the door not a
but then again this which until today
we' find puzzling and I will find
hopefully most like inf
the discusses the meaning in those days
seem seemingly was that they had they
put candles sometimes on the door itself
I think it was a small house big family
there's no room for candles also you
wanted to keep the candles out of reach.
But that was the prevalent custom. They
kept candles on the door. So the
discusses opening the door and closing
it if it's obation that you blow out the
fire. So it's the is about the fact that
there's a concern that you might blow
out the candle.
Why isn't anybody concerned about a
buses? You willingly put the candle on
the door. You did it.
What's why he's not buses?
Because a door is not made to be a buses
for a candle. A door is made to close
the door and keep the heat in and keep
the cold out and open and close. A door
is a bottle to the bias, not to the
candle. Now for us again, it's the buses
is not buses is my decision to make the
the computer desk of buses to the
computer. But Noah makes the door that
now its function is to hold the candle.
It happens to be a convenient but we
cannot say that it becomes a buses to
the candle not to the house. It retains
its status of a door. A door is not this
is the
simply can't be like an it's not it's
not it's not it is a door. Now the
quotes is in Shabasim
that says the reason why there's no
problem of a candle on the door is
because it was
so
according to there would be a buses by
something on the door maybe is once you
put it on you want it
concludes
[clears throat] but I did see the shabas
All the
do feel that that you could be that a
door does not become to a to a to a
doesn't come buses to a it can retains
its function. The truth be told much
later
payan
the tour brings
with light
on the door again to keep it out of
reach and
it says there's no problem.
So I guess we can learn to
although I do know the the
but it's a classic
and we go with the
question a freezer the same question
obviously is to a freezer door. Now if
you have some usable shabas forum on the
freezer door and
raw chicken. So said we'll say it's
bottled to the but let's say you notice
that all you have on the freezer door is
and or raw meat. [clears throat] So now
the door was a bus
to there's no contest there's no and it
was definitely definitely so here we
could use that and shabas says this says
it also that we could rely on the that a
door is not bottle to something a door
is bottled to the refrigerator freezer
or the house a door is bottled what is a
door of so even though it happened to be
It doesn't become a boss, but again,
it's still opening and closing. So, if
you could re rearrange before shabas,
take the raw meat and put in the back of
the freezer, that is definitely a better
choice.
>> Why is it different than a tray?
>> Oh, I want to get to that soon. Wait,
you're right. [clears throat]
You're right. Now, a pocketbook on the
on the door of the closet, the same
heta. Plus, the truth is a door of a
closet not made to hold a pocketbook.
You could say the freezer door. I could
understand the issami. It's part of the
the freezer, but a pocketbook not belong
on the door of the free of a closet.
Some shoes I think I think in Mashab is
one of the doors still has it. They have
on the door they have a pushka a wooden
pushka. So you open and close the door
you're moving money. True. But this
would be a door a door not become a bus
kitchen cabinet that a per that you
could have some you hang m hang a
garbage which we'll soon see is muk in
many cases same it's not but to mum it's
has a function in the bay now the
question that that person asked about a
monitor on a door I think the same had
applies you put it there because it's
convenient as far as its ability to keep
a watch what's going on but it's not
that you want the door to become bleed
to the monitor. So it's a house door and
we definitely rely on the on the that a
door does not become a buses total
has an incredible mush of this invol
is a right is so he says how could you
open the door if you live in the olden
days and even today some people have it
a door knocker a door knocker is a is
mutzah You can't you can't knock you
can't knock on the door with a door
knocker. So it's so you open and close
the door you're moving. So his terret is
the same and he says it that just like
is not buses so too door knock. Now
until today you said what does that
mean? Now you see the is a door does not
become but to a it becomes bottle and
tuffle to its base that it's attached
to.
>> [clears throat]
>> Now as we'll soon see there's another
by this case of a door knocker a door
knocker is a
now if you have a ham on the table and
you put a to be whole shabas is a table
a bosses
yes right you're the
but then again the table can't be worse
than the bosses it takes on the identity
of the bosses but not worse can I move
the door the hammer
Yes. So why can it move the tables
and and that's true. Some say
doesn't even make a boss is because it's
pretty movable. But the biggest is it
becomes as the
as the as the so in this case even if we
say the doors are buses to the door
knocker it's fine I'm moving.
So very often that had to applies as
well. Someone asked me a beautiful sh I
had a note because it touched upon many
of your sides. He has a closet door. Now
let me be clear that there's a light in
it actually light in the mirror and it's
a pretty decent light but you put it on
or off right some closets you open the
closet the light goes on. So that you
can't use on chabas many hotels and you
find out Friday night you open the
closet all a sudden light goes on. So
you know beware but I'm talking about a
simple closet that has a light in it. So
he had a baby and I said very
convenient. I put the light on before
Shabas. I open the door when I need
light. I have light. When the baby
finally falls asleep, I close the door
and I it's dark. The question is he's
opening and closing a door that has a
light in it. So we told him two things.
First of all, the closet door again is
not bled to the light. We have the ha of
the bi. But more than that, this is not
similar to the case of n. A n is the
most mut of all mah the says n is
because not a k. So therefore the n
makes the light and the tray and the
table mah but but a a light of today is
a ki especially it's an le led it's not
at all aged. There's no h there it's a
regular kali. So it's a regular.
So that's why this wasn't of concern to
us at all. Number one, you have the bavi
and even not so it's not the mutah of a
question in the yeshiva all the time he
person left paper blank paper in the gor
and now he comes shabas o the gmor is a
bosses to the paper I can't learn gabas
I have chabas he's out now is that true
so the is that if it's okay he put it in
Friday before I take it out but he put
it in shabas of shabon
So let me be very clear paper is still
paper the says used to bear and because
it was valuable today most place m is
notar and may maybe if you designate it
just for writing and you won't use
anything else it is but let's assume
papers m okay let's for for that matter
so the question is if it has all the
qualifications can move to so
it doesn't seem correct and there's a
very Good reason for that.
[clears throat] First of all,
one of the
don't put blank paper in he doesn't say
that but he says
that that were not written on see if you
have your right you have notes he only
wrote a smallish so the whole paper is
mut but let's say you have blank paper
so Mr. quotes say it's a bizar and the
truth is you're making your gamorra a
folder I am putting it there I want to
get ready for this year I also wrote
notes when I was in yeshiva so put it
aside put in a folder why you putting in
the gimar making it your folder so
we can say the following another
the is that you made this as a base for
that so it's and for that But to say
that a gamarra is a a folder for paper.
The gmor is a bosses for paper. It's
unthinkable. Now people always say but I
put in the gmorra to be able to write in
it. So it's really has a kaduca.
I don't know
say do not say that. I did see the inim.
He says the minigur
obvious paper in those days but maybe
it's because only about and he says in
other that
the the the fact that you you want to
use it this what he says okay you know
it's his opinion but as I told you the
I did see the the
he says it also one should not put blank
paper in his you might not end up using
it at all. So it's
so
even is not mas he's just during the
week. Then I saw Moisha takes an
interesting approach
and moish says that if you put it in to
use it could be it's not it's not it's
not a problem sorry because you're
putting it into learning but then he
says but then if you put it in and
you're allowed to put it in then t
becomes a boss you can't
if you want to stay allowed to put it in
then it's a bus system that's what says
so says that basically it's a buses and
therefore you can't do it before shabas
or you can't use the gum. Now again it's
a to me to say a gor is a bottle and
buses to paper. Now
that we'll soon see the says that if you
a person put a few pennies in his pocket
the kavon in his weekday pocket weekday
jacket pocket and then he forgot that
his jacket wasn't the cleanest he wants
to wear that jacket on Shabas. So says
even those are buses but a few pennies
does not make a jacket of buses. So how
could a few pennies of paper make a
buses to
but I'll tell you beautiful terret if
you put it in now to be in the gar. So
you wanted to be there. So you are being
you are a strange person and himself
says that as I'll show you soon but no
doubt about it theor
says not to put paper in a gor and
that's the right way to do it. If
someone did put paper in his gumra then
we have a to say it can't become a buses
a gum not a buses to blank paper. Now,
we have enough information to talk about
the new type of of garbage that's not a
regular garb a freestanding garbage can.
It's a it's a a shelf in in the cabinet.
It's a drawer. You open it up and close
it. And so, here's a question. In a
regular garbage can you have in the
kitchen, you could use it because don't
forget you're allowed to touch. It's a
and the is moving. If you use a garbage
can the whole Shabas without moving it,
there's no problem.
But when you have a garbage in this in a
drawer, so you're moving it in and out.
Worse yet, if the garbage is classified
as MT,
so then the drawer is a bonafideed base
you want it. It's bum, it's everything.
So how could you open and close the
drawer if the garbage is mah and the the
the drawers are bays? You have constant
tilt mukah.
Okay, you want to say it's it's also not
true because the draw is called Kool.
It's a bosses. So the redeeming factor
here is that the say if there's usable
edible food in the garbage. So we go
back to the old the ed the half a bilka
is worth 5 cents. But all the garbage in
your garbage is worth zero. 5 cents is
worth more than zero. So if there's an
edible food in the garbage
then it's buses for hatanisa and in our
garbages today they say you could feed
the entire India with all the food but
there's plenty of food there now. So
that's why typically a garbage can be
moved and the drawer could be open but
the issue is when you threw out the
garbage before Shabas and you didn't
empty the can and
all you had was garbage.
So here we say what you threw out
becomes garbage becomes and it becomes
the cool of shabas and that's why it is
I'm not saying you have to do it but
it's kad when possible before shabas to
empty out the garbage you put a fresh
bag in and then from the for the rest of
shabas what's in the what's in the
garbage and is and the is more valuable
than the is now if someone wants to have
a better he's afraid he might not empty
the garbage out he's too busy
So the the the the belt has an eight and
I found the high say this that before
you put the garbage bag in the drawer
put a clean one or two even one's enough
put on the bottom of the drawer then you
put in your garbage bag and use gazun
cuz then even if the garbage tak is
which it could be but the bag is still
usable so you're opening and closing it
because you have and is so you're
opening it putting garbage in and
closing it because it's a bus is for the
and the isam and the is worth more. So
this is a to avoid problems. Another
question I want to mention which is
really a different sh but let's say in
the typical yiddom you have a bottle a a
bottle wine bottle grape juice bottle a
water bottle it's reusable it's not a
chevver ki it's a kay gummer. So the the
is if you threw out a chev a kali gummer
on air of shabas it's not mukah you
can't make a kali into mukah it's only a
cheval how do you what so how do you
look at a a full kali how do you look at
a disposable is it a kali is it a kal
shim so if it's a ki sh that would be
another to be made now [clears throat]
the concept of a draw is a sh for itself
but was
as I told you earlier the freezer
draw is the same problem. It's and is
but you move the entire shelf drawer. So
if in a rare case on your in your
freezer shelf is only mah, you have a
problem which is almost never happens.
There's always some type of and the is a
piece of cake or which you need either
the two. So we're back to buses for and
is and you're allowed to move the drawer
in and out again unless it's a rare
case. It's all m is there an in before
shab is taking out the the mutzah from
the freezer. The answer is no. It's not
ch where you going to put it. That's the
old freezer. So to run to someone's
house and put the the the frozen mut
because that's not reasonable. So this
shelf is the is because of is which is
almost always the case. So this is the
case of a regular drawer. Now someone
asked me a question about a junk drawer.
I said what's that? Oh you don't know
what you're missing. So he says it's has
everything under the sun in that drawer.
I would I don't like the word junk. I'll
use the word miscellaneous draw like a
lush in the key is always better. But
the point here is this miscellaneous
draw is
you can't be on shabas or else you'll
have a marble. That's I'm told there's
so much stuff in it. You can't take out
all the shabas because that's the whole
of it. The whole patent is everything is
there. So if we assume that there's
enough that outweighs the other stuff
you have a regular
is so there's no there's no error of
shabas. So this miscellaneous draw is
the lifesaver
it shouldn't be a problem. Now if
someone again has socks in a pair of
drawer and he puts them a wallet or
something like that. So that's would be
if you need a sock. Now if you have just
socks that you don't need on chabas then
you're in trouble. Then it's like a
buses for the more valuable wallet. Then
of course the socks that you don't need.
Now another question. A person has a
wallet and he has a a a pop pocket paper
that he uses when he's traveling and he
has a place to
he has big money and he has a credit
card and he has his pocket. So we like
to be very you know positive but you're
not going to use that on chabas. So will
not apply and also a wallet's made for
for for money not for so that's why we
assume that a regular wallet is
considered even though you might have a
bench or but that definitely is not what
it's for another beautiful shila is the
question of
them that have I'll tell you someone had
a very nice shirt he's wearing for on
Friday it was a white shirt but a
weekday shirt and he's had had money you
want to get rid of it then you shouldn't
to lose it so he put it into his shirt
pocket hung it up in the closet so even
if a gun of comes you don't look in
pockets so he thought it's safe fine
wonder his shab shirt got stained it
happens when you go for way for shabas
go to convention you only have one shab
shirt and it got stained so I wear my
weekday shirt wait a second you put
money
into that pocket now that's bosses you
can't say my makes
My toys makes it a not. So the question
is can he wear the shirt or more
commonly his jacket gets a terrible
stain. He needs a jacket but his weekday
jacket is full of mut again.
So here the the pkim is actually a ra
but brings it out beautifully and makes
the following and that is a regular
pocket in a jacket. So the pocket itself
is an independent buses. You can put
things in, take it out. That's a buses.
But it's not enough to make the entire
jacket a buses to the pocket. The jacket
is a jacket and you have an independent
buses that's functional. So if you put a
wallet into the pocket pants or jacket
pocket into the pocket,
so the pocket is but not the jacket. So
you could take the jacket itself, invert
it, shake it, whatever you want. Shake
the muk out and then you're left with
the following. The the the jacket is
fine to wear. Don't use the pocket cuz
the pocket was a bus.
But in contrast to that, typical shirt
pockets. Now today, they don't make
shirt pockets anymore. They don't even
have one. But a typical shirt pocket is
a piece of material is sewed onto the
shirt and the back of it the base the
back base of the pockets quote unquote
is a shirt and taka says in that case
then the shirt is one bosses for the
money or wallet and tak becomes a bus.
So even after you shake it out it will
not help because the shirt is a bosses
and this
he makes this beautiful simple a shirt
pocket is a bosses a jacket or pants
pocket is a buses in a baguette the
baguette is independent so the pocket is
also but but the jacket itself is mut
now I should mention if whatever reason
you have a question in your shabisim
I think it's almost never a problem of
bosses because it's always he went to a
Friday morning he went to a bris and
whatever all these that we hear and he
left his wed cell phone relax you didn't
put it for shabas right no one does that
now so what do you do so then you want
to wear your shab so shake out the mahz
and here's a you could even if you're
handy take the pocket itself and from
the back and shake out the pocket on the
floor because The pocket is not a buses
even when it's when it's holding the the
mah cuz that's so you could shake you
could invert the jacket or shake out the
pocket hold onto the pocket the pocket
is not a bosses even now once you get
the mah out you can wear the jacket
freely so this is something that's
important to mention but I think with we
don't have a shabis beggar that becomes
unless you put a kavana which is almost
never the case now
The
ask somebody the the Mr. B quotes the
if you put a items of very little value
a few printers in your in your jacket
but let's say you wanted on the way to
oh that would be you put it to be there
he says it's not m that a jacket is but
a few pennies and Mr. book quotes this
and why do I say this? Because
ask a question. Why how can a a barrel
of wine become a bosses for a stone? A
wine is worth much more. So says that if
you put the stone on the kavana to make
it a bosses. So you're overriding the
the lack of shavas. That's what you want
it to be. Oh. So the one that says
putting on overrides its lack of value.
would say if you put paper in and you're
allowed to put it in and it becomes a
boss's eye a few cents worth of papers
that's your decision a poor decision
that's your decision and you want to be
that and that's where that the paper in
the would and should be a problem next
question which is important to mention
is a stroller wheelchair or a walker or
the like now these things are used to
help people walk or okay the baby but
very often there are muka items put
there
before shabas you put it in and if you
put it on Thursday to say indefinite
that's considered mania so you have to
realize that if you you put it into the
actual base of the stroller or the or
the wheelchair so the so the wheelchair
is a buses for the mutzah you put it in
that was your decision so you have to be
careful there shouldn't be any mah
before shabas. Also, when you have a
basket on the bottom, something that's
part of the kali, it has the same. So,
if you want to use a wheelchair or
stroller or a walker on chabas, try to
get rid of the mukah before shabas.
Question. Someone went to a and he made
he left a sharim, which was a funny, a
gal shell, pistachio shells. So, he put
it on a plate pure mutz. Even animals
can eat that. nuts, shells, pistachio,
ammons, bik
now the shila is can someone else move
it. So if it's offensive, if it's gra
but typically it's not offensive, it's
just it's just inconsiderate of the
first person. So the shil is that right
now this plate is a bosses for the
shells. I the shells are worth zero. But
again if you made a bosses and you want
to be a bosses so that overrides the
value. So you have a buses for is what's
the
soa
here the difference is that bash mashes
came and left and there was no buses the
bus was created on chabas
who said buses becomes on chabas. So
this is the big suga of of of mutah of
buses on chabas. But to make a long
story short almost all piskim say that
this is a modified type of buses. What I
mean today is p you have a plate on
chabas even a ch expensive china plate
and you put on shells eggshells peanut
shells whatever it is. So if now it's a
bosses it's it's a bus. What do you want
to do? You can't change the world. It's
a bosses. But if but if a or someone or
it blew off whatever the muk was taken
off
now the plate is not mah because it
wasn't
when was the mah as it was a buses if
you got rid of the mah got rid of the
buses. So the is a bus's air of shabas
remains boss
is on is a bus it's functioning as a bus
so
and he says if you have a
like I told you
before you start your eating put a piece
of kala and then shell your nuts onto
the plate and then you have the basic of
bosses for and with the is worth more
than the now why if you know it's just
only because they make the of
but the seem to agree it's
you could put down a jelly bean or
anything of value that's worth more than
shells and that outweighs it. Now the
only question that bother me is
it clearly says put down the kala first
and then shell your nuts and what's
wrong if you first shell your nuts and
then put down the jelly bean.
So it seemed that there is no difference
as long as when you want to move it is
buses for you got the and
he's a very I'm sorry in in cotton
says
after you put the the mah there. So I
don't know why he wrote but in he
definitely says that it's so
You put you keep there either before or
afterwards. Then you pick up the plate
spill it into the garbage and then the
plate becomes back
question. Someone asked me this
question. I had a note he was thinking.
Someone came to his shabas. He had no
talis to wear. He said I'll give you
covered go. I have a weekday talis. It's
very nice. And then he stopped in his
tracks. What is in his weekday talis?
Fill in and a talis. Now that's
that is bum and
the question is what's worth more talis
what's more valuable kaduca and monetary
value but then again
right now he needs a talis to give his
friend
and the worst scenario the
so the was a boses and but his maz
the talis is more valuable now and
number two is
and especially if he had a there or
something else there he really was in
good luck and that would be the when you
have talis or on the move for the same
reason because it's it's only and also
the one that's not put it there and
that's not a concern two more questions
I wanted to mention light covers people
have these light covers go on the lights
or if you still have a rotary phone at
home and rotary phone you any landline
phone at home. You might have these
decorative uh phone covers like you have
kala decals
is that muk is that putting it on chab
is that a mut of bosses or not? So it
sounds like a real bus. You're putting
the the phone cover on top of the phone
or the or the light switch cover on top
of the light switch. But zuk rabash
that's a mistake. This is not a buses
for the mah. This is a function for the
person. He wants the phone to look nice.
He wants to have the outlet to cover. So
he puts a plastic in it. He wants the
light should not be accessible for
children. So it's not a buses for the
mah buses means the base on the bottom
not on top. So it's a and it's not a
buses. And last but not least question I
was thinking recently and it's a good
question with a better answer. I need to
change the battery to my egg. Whatever
the story was and to get the battery
whatever it was a pretty big job. You
have to open and put it in and you put
the battery in and this makes the whole
clock the whole watch tick. So I started
thinking wait a second why don't we say
that the watch is a buses for the
battery. Don't forget the without the
battery doesn't work and it has to be
fit just perfectly. So isn't the watch a
battery? Isn't the watch a buses to the
battery? So then I realized there's a
mistake. But I'll tell you what, you
could have a car today that's worth
$50,000 right now. If you put gasoline
in it, do we say now so a regular car is
you can move you can move it. You can
sit in the car, open the car door when
there's no lights going on. Why don't we
say the car is a bus to gasoline and
gasoline is pure mutz. The terret is
that's that's foolish. The buses means
it's bottle to the muk. Here it's fake.
The car is not there to hold the gas.
The battery the watch is not there to
hold the battery. So it happens to look
like a boss's but what's the the watch
and the car and it's not going to talk
to you all
>> you got something
I don't believe
for today's sponsor
email.com
foreign.
Hey
[music]
Okay, everybody say was a bus.
So now we're going to top it off with a
>> see
in one in a few words means it's bottle
it's a decision to be and make it part
of the and that's why it has to be only
is not a bosses because there was no
there's no contention to make a bosses
has two that it becomes a bosses number
one it becomes becomes and even after
the the is removed but once it's mutzah
mtz remains In other words, buses means
it becomes part of the mah and has the
identity of the mah even when there's no
prime of buses because either it's
or not it's preferable when to be the so
you don't have to constantly being rely
on the of
now
both the the
is when there's only only when a person
has
that he needs now versus that is not a
problem of boses. So the bum three
conditions are bum versus not
versus
if there's more than is and me is versus
there are placement hole you should try
to move the muk anyhow before shabas if
it's but very often it's not sh on a
door there's no buses a pocketbook or a
monitor on the door is not a problem
freezer door is maha has muktah items
Only Muka items even that's not buses
because it's not bottled to the food.
It's bottled to the freezer. A door
knocker is okay. We had two reasons we
make it. You could open the door. A
closet door with a light you could open
and close because it's it's basically
not the n that's the most intense mukah.
Blank paper I think should not be put in
the gor. It is mutzah but if you did
keep it there it's not a bosses. It's
probably better to shake it out but
shaking out paper in the bish is
embarrassing. maybe qua so you could do
it later but basically paper should not
be kept in the gimra a garbage drawer is
m to open and close especially if you
have an empty bag in it if it was
nothing but mutzmashes you have a
problem of opening and closing that
garbage a freezer drawer is mut open and
close because this is the way it's used
and it's tiltad when there's no other a
wallet in a drawer should make a problem
if the clothes are not being worn a
miscellaneous drawer is basically more
than isa A jacket or pants pocket. You
could shake out the mukah and use the
jacket. A shirt pocket that has no that
is the shirt is part of the buses is a
problem. It's mukah. Even once you shook
out the mukah a little value does not
make a buses as we saw stroller,
wheelchair or walker should be emptied
of any mukah that's not needed on
chabas. Of course it's on shabas and
it's a ha you could do it. A plate of
shells you could either put on heta
before or afterwards. A weekday talis
can be moved freely
can be moved because it's a it's not and
or it's
cover of a light plug or phone is not a
buses and a car and a watch is not a
buses to the gas or battery. It's a kay
for itself. Yeah.
