  1. 1

    תכז. ויהודי הדר בישוב לבדו אסור לתן לגוי מעות להשכיר לו פועלים בשבת וביו"ט אע"ג דליכא מתא דמקרבא להתם וחוץ לתחום והא דשרי תלמודא (מועד קטן י"ב ע"א) התם היינו דליכא מתא דמקרבא [להתם] לתוך התחום אבל הכא הרי עירו מקרבא להתם וא"כ בני ביתו חשדי ליה ואורחי' דמקלעי לגבי' חשדי ליה.

    Q. Is a Jew, who lives alone among Gentiles, permitted to ask his Gentile friend to hire laborers to do his work on the Sabbath?
    A. He is not permitted to do so lest the members of his family or occasional Jewish guests, think that he hired the laborers himself.
    SOURCES: Cr. 42; Pr. 427; cf. Rashba I, 875.
    You were justified in forbidding the practice of the Jews who used to enter a Gentile's store on the Sabbath, choose hats for themselves, put them on their heads, and walk out with them, even though they bargained for them on the following day; for the hats might have been finished on that very Sabbath.
    SOURCES: Wertheimer 13.
