Shabbat Timers

Timers used to turn things on and off on Shabbat present interesting practical halachic questions. Can you extend a timer on Shabbat? Can you make it go on earlier? What if it’s an emergency? Can timers be used for anything other than food and lights? Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he learns from the sources in the Talmud down through today’s leading poskim, the halachic basis for using shabbat timers.
