Study Guide Shabbat 51

Today’s shiur is dedicated by the Raye and Cohen families in memory of Elisabeth Maybaum,  Elisheva bat Yehuda z”l and by Fredda Cohen in honor of Dr. Gary Zeitlin, infectious disease doctor at White Plains Hospital, who has saved many lives over the past few months, and whose spirit has been lifted by the study of Talmud and this podcast.

What situations are allowed regarding insulation on Shabbat? Can one uncover and recover and insulated pot on Shabbat? Can one insulate cold items? Can one swap an insulated item with a different material even if it may keep in the heat better? Can one insulate something that was moved out of the utensil it was cooking in (a kli sheni)? Do leaders need to hold themselves to a higher standard to set an example for others? In what way can one melt ice or snow on Shabbat to use? In what way is it forbidden? The fifth chapter discusses items that an animal is or is not allowed to carry from one domain to another. Why is it an issue for animals to carry and what criteria are used in determining whether or not this is permitted?
