<DIV dir=ltr align=left>Which in yet another thread (#4) I<BR>argued was the
real basis for banning electricity on Shabbos. There is<BR>more consensus that
it simply doesn't intuitively fit the idea of <BR>Shabbos than figuring out the
mechanics of the issur.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Tir'u baTov!<BR>-mi<BR><BR><SPAN

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=379313219-03092007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>R' Asher Weiss based on the Yerushalmi says that this is
what chazal did in general on w/r/t shabbat - anything that they felt s/b asser
went into makeh bpatish. IIRC When I looked at the Yerusahlami it seemed to
me (and I am less than dust to him) like they were talking about actions that
there was already a mesora on. OTOH R' AW frequently says "libi omer li"
which I think fits nicely with your general theory. IIRC I heard
that a posek will often "know" the answer and then build the case.
The problem imho is that they probably could have built an equally
convincing case the other way and where does the boundary line to divrei neviut
fall (or put another way, the process fails the repeatability
test)?<BR><BR>KVCT<BR>Joel Rich</FONT></SPAN></DIV><br><br><table bgcolor=white style="color:black"><tr><td><br>THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE <br>
