<font size=3>Zippering A Hood To A Coat On Shabbos<br>
The Mishna Brura writes (317:15) that if you have new article of clothing
you may not insert on Shabbos its belts and strings that are left there
permanently because you are Misaken Mana or fixing the item.
<br><br>
The Piskei Tshuvos brings from the Chelkas Yaakov that attaching a hood
to a coat with a zipper, in the beginning of the winter for the entire
winter is assur just the same. He also brings from Rav Vosner that
it is even the Milacha of Tofeir sewing since it will remain permanently
for the winter. Moreover he brings from Rav Binyomin Zilber in Az
Nidbiru that even snapping on an Atara on a talis is assur. <br><br>
However he says there are those who are matir in all these cases because
it is not Tefira and it is like buttoning your clothing which is
permissible even for an extended period of time. The matirim
include the Btzel HaChochma, the Debriciner Rav, Rav Yehonoson Shteiff,
and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.<br>
