Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Perek Kirah, יום רביעי, Iyar 16 Daf 39a  (05/14/25)

admin Gemara, Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim's shiurim, Shabbos

Review גמרא דף לט. “ולא יפקיענה בסודרין  (five lines from top of the Amud) until “ולא יטמיננה בחול (next set of two dots)

See רש”י דף לט. “דשרי who says the reason it is permitted to cook something directly from the sun is because “אין דרך בישול בכך”

Major Question: 

We have a rule in הלכות שבת when a melacha is performed in an abnormal way it is exempt from Torah violation however it is still prohibited מדרבנן. So how could it be permitted to cook directly from the heat of the sun?

There are prohibitions of cooking in regards to other halachos. For example – cooking meat and milk together, cooking the Korban Pesach. 

If someone were to cook in the sun or a product that was heated by the sun would they be transgressing that prohibition?

See גמרא פסחים דף מא. “אמר רב חסדא המבשל (ten lines from bottom of the Amud) in regards to cooking the קרבן פסח in חמי טבריא.
