One person developed complications and was in the hospital in the ICU for a few weeks. <br /><br />I don't think you can minimize the inherent danger of an icy sidewalk. <br />The fact that people go to work and don't shovel doesn't make it less of a sakanah.Chaim Markowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927146649559508598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-23816541683484429122011-02-03T12:44:56.972-05:002011-02-03T12:44:56.972-05:00>>>Shev Shamaytza re: v'yikchu li ter...>>>Shev Shamaytza re: v'yikchu li terumah<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.

By the way, rock salt is regular salt, only less processed, but I don't think it would hurt you to eat it. He says it's not an issue of zilzul shabbos, because of the danger to people, like Gacheles. I don't think ice is on the level of gacheles, but that's what he said and quotes some local poskim. He says it's not meraseik because it's mimeila and holech le'ibud. Ibud is debatable, because we're machmir on bathing because of towels and hair, and that's also holech le'ibud. Anyway, he's meikil on all the issues.bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-86915277875463512452011-02-02T19:40:08.700-05:002011-02-02T19:40:08.700-05:00The shiur addresses all these questionsThe shiur addresses all these questionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-40623747758542936822011-02-02T18:55:26.305-05:002011-02-02T18:55:26.305-05:00CM -- thank you for the invite!

Kosher salt is edible -- rock salt I assume is not (we were wondering on Shabbos if that was true, but my wife insisted that I not experiment by dunking a piece of challah in and tasting it). That's why I am raising the question specifically about whether the rock salt is muktzah.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-72445457799508847402011-02-02T16:45:38.613-05:002011-02-02T16:45:38.613-05:00Molid, for one thing.

Which I wouldn't mind, except that I like my shiur, and davening in the kollel is glacial.<br /><br />As for salting steps and sidewalks, it's been seven years since I saw it, but the Gemara in Zevachim talks about doing it for the kevesh, which can get really slippery in the winter, especially when you're carrying a big dripping piece of animal in front of you. At the time, I think I saw that the Shmiras Sh Kehil, and I think the Minchas Yitzchak, are mattir, as long as you do it in a way that reminds you that it's shabbos. They're mattir shoveling, too, but I might be misremembering.bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-27401644166565423562011-02-02T00:56:28.047-05:002011-02-02T00:56:28.047-05:00For 3 see here also available to download audio
