Shlach – Talis tales

 

Bamidbar 15:38 “and they will make for themselves tzitsis…”

R’ Dovid HaLevi was the author of the commentary on the Shulchan Aruch known as the Taz – Turei Zahav. He was also the Av Beis Din in the city of Levov.  The women of the city noticed that his talis had worn thin and they wandted to get him a new one. They purchased a beautiful and dignified talis for their Rav and brought it to him. Imagine how surprised they were when he politely declined. They asked him for an explanation, as it was clear that his own talis had seen better days.

He replied:“There is a custom that a person is buried in his talis when he passes away. I am confident that when I get to beis din shel malah (the heavenly court) that it will be able to testify for me that I have never had an improper thought in my shemone esrei!”

 

Good Shabbos,

Rabbi Cohen

 

Advanced Halachic Bulletin

 

Shulchan Aruch 308:39 regards animals as muktzah which has no permissible Shabbos use and may not be moved for any reason. No distinction is drawn between farm animals and households pets.                                                                                                  However, there are other poskim who do distinguish between farm animals and household pets. In their opinion, a pet is considered a household item, similar to a toy or a picture, and is not classified as muktzah at all.                                                                    While it is advisable to follow the majority opinion and not carry or move pets on Shabbos, those who are lenient have a halachic authority upon whom to rely.                              

All opinions agree that it is permitted to touch (without moving) or feed one's pets on Shabbos. It is also permitted to hold onto a leash and walk a dog in an area which is enclosed by an eiruv. It is permitted to place a leash on a dog on Shabbos.
