Description

In this episode, we continue exploring the laws of saving property from fire on Shabbos, focusing on Megillas Esther and amulets. We discuss whether Megillas Esther—unique among the biblical books for not containing the Divine Name—has the sanctity required to be rescued from a fire, and what conditions (such as proper script, parchment, or ink) determine its status.

We also examine differing opinions on saving amulets that contain holy text, including cases involving illness and potential danger to life. The episode concludes with guidance on saving Torah scroll cases, tefillin cases, and other holy book coverings—even when they contain money—without needing to remove the contents during an emergency.
