MB 334.1 – MB 334.9 – Laws of Saving Food, Clothing, and Property from a Fire on Shabbos and Yom Kippur
Description
This episode continues the halachos in Siman 334 on what may be rescued from a fire on Shabbos. We clarify how much food may be saved, the rules for Shabbos when it borders Yom Kippur or Yom Tov, and why certain days permit saving more than others. The discussion explains when one may save food for after Yom Kippur, when raw materials may be taken, and the distinctions between saving on Shabbos versus other holy days.
We then cover the limits on carrying containers, how combining items affects what is permitted, and why a person may make multiple trips when wearing clothing but not when carrying food.
Finally, we examine when neighbors may help, how declaring items ownerless works, and under which conditions helpers may be compensated after Shabbos.
