[Avodah] Coat Room Mix-up

[Micha Berger]

So, I looked up RDE's mar'eh maqom, which after some clarification is
IM vol 8 (a/k/a OC vol 5), #9 sec 7-8, pg 15 (I'm looking at Bar Ilan's
copy, so I won't swear I remembered the pg # correctly).

RMF starts by saying that using the other guys coat is assur.
"UPASHUT shehu hadin bebeis hekeneses". See BM 46a and SA CM 136:2 --
"vekhein ifsaq bekhol haposqim". (Those quotes are not in sequence.)

Then RMF cites AhS at the end of 136. The AhS writes that since wearing
the other person's galoshes or coat is the customary response, one can
assume that the owner implicitly gave permission.

RMF then sets limits. Like the fact that if the baal were to demand
repayment for the value of coat rental, you're chayav to pay it.

I wonder if that's on Shabbos too.

And RMF notes that since we only see this in the AhS means there must
be communities where this is not the minhag. And therefore shuls that
have this practice should announce it (and put up a sign, say so in the
stickers in the front of shul siddurim, etc...)

Sec. 8 is less on topic, dealing with property forgotten in shul. I lost
numerous sefarim that way. Not on topic enough for summarizing here. If
you're curious, look it up!

Tir'u baTov!
