Menachot 54: Shabbat Restrictions? Some In-Betweens

We have returned to discussion about which actions might be permitted on Shabbat.  The rabbis consider a number of questions:

  • whether a steak cooked on one side before Shabbat may be turned 
  • whether one may drill a hole that might be used to create a keyhole 
  • whether meal offering might be leavened
  • whether vessels used in consecration were themselves consecrated fully
  • the ingredients used in meal offerings 
The rabbis question some of the "grey" today.  They examine the "what if" that accompanies questions about real life.  An in-between place filled with questions.
