Muktzah items may be touched, the prohibition is against moving them. There are several reliable sources which I could site to prove my point, including Aish.com (http://www.aish.com/shabbatlaws/selfstudycourse/Muktzah_(part_1).asp). If you prefer printed media I could refer you to Rabbi Baruch Chait's "The 39 avoth Melacha of Shabbath" ISBN # 0-87306-586-7 page number 42 (upper right corner). If you would prefer verbal confirmation, please contact a competent Rabbi. There are also several online resources where you could also verify this such as www.askmoses.com (Chabad) or www.halacha.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13256892.post-1141002128656825332006-02-26T17:02:00.000-08:002006-02-26T17:02:00.000-08:00...found this amusing...Me too :)...found this amusing...<BR/><BR/>Me too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13256892.post-1140555096972043422006-02-21T12:51:00.000-08:002006-02-21T12:51:00.000-08:00I realize this isn't the point of this post, but j...I realize this isn't the point of this post, but just for the record (and of course you should consult with your local orthodox rabbi), you can surely put your wallet back where it belongs. This may or may not require picking it up with a "shinui" - a change from how you'd normally pick something up.<BR/><BR/>I love the term "muktzah dog." My kids use the term "muktzah" for anything not allowed on Shabbat. They used to call my mother-in-law, who drives to our house on Shabbat, "Muktzah Bubbe."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13256892.post-1140458840467028992006-02-20T10:07:00.000-08:002006-02-20T10:07:00.000-08:00Oh, I love when kids ask such questions.

Just last week, the following conversation went on between myself and my 3 year old daughter.<BR/><BR/>Daughter: Why aren't you doing email?<BR/><BR/>Me: It's shabbos<BR/><BR/>Daughter: So you can't do email on shabbos?<BR/><BR/>Me: No, you can't.<BR/><BR/>Daughter: (thoughtful pause)...

If I understood right, you really can't make the dog do any prohibited activities even if you trained it to...but if the dog did it because it felt like, that's fine. Maybe if you dropped a piece of meat on the wallet and the dog decided to take the wallet back after eating the meat... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13256892.post-1140326879570223442006-02-18T21:27:00.000-08:002006-02-18T21:27:00.000-08:00...found this amusing.Who wouldn't?...found this amusing.<BR/>Who wouldn't?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
