  • Kuntres K'sheleg Yavinu the Laws of Snow on Shabbat
    Kuntres K’Sheleg Yavinu The Laws of Snow on Shabbat Prepared by Rabbi David Pardo JLIC at Brandeis Note: This Kuntres tries to straddle the line between concise and comprehensive. To that end, the “final answer” is underlined. Please consult me for any further questions at [email protected]​. Original sources appear in footnotes where it was convenient to do so. Is snow muktzeh? ● Well, for starters, rain is not. The reasoning that it is nolad -- something newly created on Shabbat -- is deflected by the conclusion of the gemara (Eruvin 46a, Mishna Berura 338:301). ● This should logically apply to snow. Thus the clear majority of authorities are lenient​ (cf. R. Moshe Stern, Be’er Moshe 1:20; R. Yehoshua Neuwirth, Shemirat Shabbat Ke-Hilkheta, ch. 16:44 n. 110 and 15:36 in the name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank; Har Tzvi, Soser; Harav Y.S. Elyashiv, Shalmei Yehudah, pg. 203, also the position of Rav Ovadia Yosef). ● R Moshe Feinstein alone stands up against snow (Igrot Moshe O.C. 5:22:372, quoted in The Halachos of Muktza, p. 165 n. 10). ○ It is not clear why Rav Moshe does not equate snow and rain. Rav Aviner suggests that it could because of meteorological differences in the creation of snow and rain, but rejects the approach anyway. Can I walk on snow (imprint of my shoe i.e. kotev / unavoidable nominal snow crushing)? ● Yes​ (SA OC 320:13)3 ○ The Mishna Brura ad loc explains the reason: eino mitkaevn, and adds the Taz: since it is impossible to “be careful,” Hazal never decreed a gzeira against it.
