Q&A: Sabbath Labor. Hello Rabbi. I listened to lesson 3 on the general rules of the categories of labor and would like to ask: is there a difference between labors done for the Tabernacle that extended over several Sabbaths and labors that began and ended before the first Sabbath after the command to build the Tabernacle? For example, they sheared the wool needed and finished within 3 days, and no more wool was needed. Thank you, Hanoch

Question
Answer
I didn’t understand anything. Why does it matter how many days the labor took? The labors that were prohibited were done in the Tabernacle on weekdays, not on the Sabbath.
The wording is misleading. My apologies.
