Performing in a Mixed Context and on the Sabbath
Question
She gives performances, including on Sabbaths, and also runs classes. Is it permitted to provide her with secretarial services? Bookkeeping? And if not, others will provide them anyway (so this is not a case of “reaching across the river”).
Answer
In my opinion, there is no halakhic prohibition. Certainly if it is included together with the weekdays.
Regarding secretarial services, if this means scheduling a performance for her on the Sabbath, there I am very doubtful whether it is permitted.
