The Shabbat Shield Umbrella
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Summer has passed and autumn has arrived, and soon we’ll start praying for rain… Does the Rabbi still plan to address, from a halakhic perspective, the “Shabbat Shield” umbrella?

Answer
Yes, it’s in the plan.
If you’re looking for a lenient ruling, you can see the endorsements there, and I don’t see why my view would be substantially different from everyone else’s. I intend to focus on the issue and the methodology, and not necessarily on the bottom line.
