Electricity on a Good Day
In the SD
Hello Rabbi,
Is it possible to turn on an electric stove or kettle on a good day?
If this is a fire law – then why isn’t it said that there is a transfer of fire here?
And if it is a law that creates or builds – then soul-sucking devices may be permitted.
The poskim usually define this as burning and not transfer. Indeed, for some time now I have felt that there is a great deal of room for discussion on this.
It should be discussed whether the work of a builder was permitted for the purpose of a rabbinical engineer (as well as a rabbinical scholar). Ostensibly, this is an action that is usually done for this purpose, but perhaps we are going after the definition of the work itself and not its specific application.
I wouldn’t allow it without looking into it further.
When discussing electricity as fire, there is something a little unclear about it. After all, if we look at the micro level, the electrons passed from one to the other, and it seems to be called the transfer of fire, and not combustion. But if we look at the macro level, where is there fire here at all? The only possibility is to see the body heating up as fire, although it is not clear whether it is vaporizing (if that is related?), and then indeed we suddenly see that fire is supposedly created here.
Regarding the builder, this is a dispute, as is the case with the creator, and in particular that the creation of a complete tool is prohibited, so those who generally believe that a builder in these crafts is usually because they believe that they are breathing life into and creating a complete tool, right?
Even in the transfer of fire, the new fire is created out of nothing. The new candle was extinguished and now lights up. Although you are right that there is a part of electricity that originally did not have fire in the sense of heat (although in some cases of electricity it can be seen as fire).
On the part of Bona and Molid, the doubt is not within the boundaries of the craft, but rather in the question of whether Bona and Molid permitted the purpose of the אוקנד.
