All Halocha Shailos and Tiffeh Questions

Interesting. So is the takeaway that strolling along the beach in the middle of summer is fine?

That was not my takeaway. I assumed he was too engrossed in talking/thinking about learning to realize that the empty boardwalk the day before was now full of people. This made a lot of sense considering who it was.

Rav Moshe’s teshuva to Rabbi Bursztyn would be applicable to this Rosh Yeshiva as well.

Can an american arrange before shabbos for an Israeli to do something for him once shabbos is over in Israel but still shabbos in america (eg check-in for a flight online)?

From” Commerce And Shabbos”. Talking about a non Jew but should be the same. There may be other opinions about as evident from @Ver hut gazugt, so ask your LOR

A non-jew would be a bigger issue, there is a shaila of amirah l'akum. There is no issur called "amira l'yisroel", I don't understand how there can be a problem to ask a jew to do something he is allowed to do. It's like someone who was mekabel shabbos asking someone who wasn't to do melacha.

Yes I thought the same but read the pages and saw it's matir even an akum to do it.

It's like someone who was mekabel shabbos asking someone who wasn't to do melacha.

Gets a bit complex, it’s prohibited for someone who keeps 2 days יום כיפור to ask someone to to do melecha for him the second day. Gets into the בני חו״ל asking בני א״י to do מלאכה for them shmuz. This case is better though because there is a clear distinction based on the individual’s circumstances so it’s more comparable to the kabalas shabbos case.

in some cases it the opposite. Look up the Halachas of second day yom tov in ey…

There is basically two aspects to be dealt with when talking to another Jew regarding melacha.
The first is zilzul Shabbos, which is dealt with in our case because it isn't Shabbos. However, regarding (for instance) YT Sheni, you cannot talk about something that is a melacha for you even though the Yisrael is muttar to do melacha even on your behalf. (You can hint and you can benefit if he gets the hint.)
The second is lifnei iver. This applies if the reason you are not acting applies to the other Yid as well. In our case, the other Yid is in EY and it is not Shabbos. However, if (for instance) you believe that opening the bottle is a deoraysa, you cannot ask another Yid straight out to open it for you. (If you hold it is a chumra, and he has his Rav who matirs, it could be you can.)

So I cannot see the problem with telling another Jew before Shabbos to do something that is muttar for him, even if for you it would be ossur when that time comes.

I know Rav Belsky said this, but Rav Moshe Feinstein said you can ask. There is no problem of lifnei iver because for him it is mutter.

[imayid2]

I know Rav Belsky said this, but Rav Moshe Feinstein said you can ask. There is no problem of lifnei iver because for him it is mutter.

I don’t think he was talking about a case where you yourself believe it’s prohibited, rather someone who got a הוראה that he can’t open but doesn’t have a personal opinion about it.

Either way it needs to be reconciled with the tur who says

it’s prohibited for someone who keeps 2 days יום כיפור to ask someone to to do melecha for him the second day.

What imayid2 said. I think it depends on if it is a chumrah or ikkur hadin. I can throw out numerous examples from RYB.
(Agav, he holds the meikilim are correct in the metzius of opening bottles - but is not willing to be meikil against the numerous machmirim. As such, he tells us to open bottles before Shabbos. He also warned us not to poke holes in the top, because the meikilim hold it is already a kli - and you can't go around poking holes in keilim on Shabbos. The machmirim who hold it is not a kli do not have that problem.)
The problem is as above - opening your mouth to express the desire of something that is a melacha is a trangression of the derabonon of vedaber davar.

As I said, I know Rav Belsky held it's a problem to ask someone.

According to Rav Moshe poking a hole doesn't help. He says the problem is making pesach, he doesn't say there's a problem of making a kli

Correct, I heard this distinction from מו"ר שליט"א

RYB = Rav Yitzchok Berkowitz

Thanks for the clarification. I thought he meant Rav Yisroel Belsky

Why don’t we meet in a dark alley & I'll fill you in on all the details ?

אע"פ שד' מיתות בטלו, דין ד' מיתות לא בטלו

So no כפרה ?
