Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Muktza Wednesday night shiur, Elul 28, Daf 44a (09/09/26)

Major Question:

What is the reasoning of מיגו דאתקצאי?

We learnt the אפיקי ים חלק ב ס’ יט (first two paragraphs) the source is “והכינו” an item has to be prepared for use for Shabbos. If it was not prepared before Shabbos than it is Muktzah 

(See Monday email for the attachment of the copy of the אפיקי ים)

Why does ר”ש not hold of – מיגו דאתקצאי?

We learnt the אפיקי ים חלק ב ס’ יט – (page רד bottom of the right column “והנה” for an incredible explanation) who gives two options 

1. Either ר”ש does not agree to the requirement that an item needs to be prepared for Shabbos 

2. He agrees to והכינו however in a case where the person is anticipating using it on Shabbos although it might be off limits at the beginning of Shabbos it is considered prepared. 

The Gemara brought two opinions in regards to a large container of oil if ר”ש agrees that it is muktza even after the flame goes out.

What is the explanation for their argument?

Topic: בגדי עניים לעשירים

We learnt the ר”ן “ומהא שמעינן who says that the owner of an item determines the status if it is Muktzah based on if it of used to him.

Topic: גרף של רעי

The Gemara proposed a reason why it would be permitted to move the pan with Ash inside as it would be considered גרף של רעי.

However the Gemara rejected this stating this would not qualify.

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Perek Kirah: Muktza – יום שלישי, Elul 26, דף מז (09/08/26) – Sugya – Conclusion of בסיס & בגדי עניים לעשירים

Conclusion of Sugya בסיס לדבר האסור ומותר:

The מ”א ס’ רע”ז ס”ק ח says that if one places challah on the table then the table does not become a Bosis to the candlesticks. 

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14325&st=&pgnum=66

If one placed a challah on top of candlesticks would that permit him to love the candlesticks on Shabbos as it is a בסיס לדבר האסור ומותר ?
