Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Perek Kirah: Muktza יום רביעי Tamuz 9 דף מה (06/24/26)

Very quickly review the גמרא דף מה. “והא בעו מיניה (seven lines from the top of the Amud) until בעי מיניה 

Rav says for a שעת הדחק one can rely on Rebbe Shimon opinion that we don’t say מיגו דאתקצאי   

What is the level of שעת הדחק that would qualify to permit this?

Rashi says – סכנה 

What type of danger?

The ריטב”א דף מה. “כדאי – a monetary danger or physical injury.

Major Question:

Even if we rely on Rebbe Shimon that only tells us that we don’t say מיגו דאתקצאי and the menorah does not remain in state of Muktza as if it was lit. 

But it should still be prohibited to move the menorah as it is at least a כלי שמלאכתו לאיסור?

Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Shabbos: Perek Kirah: Muktza יום רביעי Tamuz 2, דף מד עמ’ ב (06/17/26)

The Magen Avraham quotes the Rambam who states in the case money was left on the wheel of a wagon and the wheel is permanently affixed to the wagon although the wagon does not become a Bosis to the money one must shake off the money if it’s possible before moving the wagon.

Learn ה’ רע”א ס’ ש”י סע’ ז “אין צריך לנער who brings a proof from Tosfos that he argues on the Rambam and does not require the money to be shaken off.

Question on Rebbe Akiva Eiger:

Why is this different than any case of one who forgot Muktza on top of an item although the item does not become a Bosis if possible one must shake off the Muktza before the item as stated in the משנה דף קמב עמ’ ב? 

See חזון איש או”ח ס’ מז ס”ק ה

Bottom Line Halacha:

Questions:

  • Does one need to shake out the money from the pants pocket before moving it?
  • Does it matter if the money was left inside by accident or intentionally?
  • The Magen Avraham differentiates between different types of pockets. What is the difference?
  • May one move a desk in which the drawer contains Muktzah? 
  • Does it matter in the value of the Muktzah item in the drawer?
  • In a case where there is a Muktzah item in the drawer but a non Muktza item on the top of the desk. May one move the desk

Bottom line Halacha:
