Shabbos Goy
When can you ask a non-Jew to work for you on Shabbat? What about asking a non-Jew during the week to do what we are prohibited from doing? What about someone on the path to conversion? Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he explores the world of ‘Shabbos Goy.’
Shabbos Goy: Shabbos Goy
Requesting a non-Jew to work for us on Shabbat is in general prohibited.
In this series we will survey halachic leniencies permitting such requests.
Source materials in Hebrew are available through the link. In class, we will translate and explain these sources.
