<font size="2">...and the author quoted OC 307:16's "divrei cheisheq" towards his point. That phrase seems to come from RAsh quoting HaR'R'Yonah. Perhaps I'm missing something, but the primary reason it's mentioned re the BT Shabbos 149 sugya in question is that many writings which have no Shabbos purpose should not be read on Shabbos, a fortiori writings which may have no weekday purpose and fall into the "moshav leitzim" category. I don't see "divrei cheisheq" questioned ad loc. as Shabbos (or weekday) reading because of their sexual content, and the opening to read them seems to be present if one can reasonably argue that they have some legitimate purpose and no longer fall into the "moshav leitzim" category. One might conclude that this paragraph misses the forest while examining the tree, but I'm just trying to understand whether HaR'R'Yonah (and, l'halachah, the SA) is really saying what the author is inferring. (As I'm way behind on my Avodah-digest reading, please cc: me on any replies to the list.) Thanks. </font><br>
