In this session we discuss the importance of listening to different voices, relying on the common sense of the people, and adjusting halakha to people's needs.
In chapter 301 the Tur explains his methodology in presenting the laws in the order he did. He speaks about general concepts of Shabbat. Chapter 302 (as well as parts of 301) is dedicated to the care of clothes.
This episode covers chapters 253-261. We discuss the issue of leaving food on the stove before shabbat and the way to determine the beginning of Shabbat.
Chapter 250 in Shulhan Arukh is the basis for the discussion of using timers or delayed action on Shabbat. You'd be surprised how many things can be done with the help of timers.
Also, we discuss the term יש אומרים and the different approaches and style of Maimonides, the Tur, and R. Yosef Karo.
