Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Just saying its a halachic problem to be videoed on Shabbos if you know that there is a camera and you intend to be on it (I mean to exclude security cameras - even though there are some Poskim inc. R' Elyashiv who forbade going past security cameras if one was aware that they were there).

Furthermore, if he intended for Jews to watch it as well, even though his audience will be mainly non-Jews according to the Mishna Berura 276:97 it would be forbidden B'Chdai Sheya'ase because of Ma'ase Akum and according to all Poskim the Issur of B'Chdai Sheya'ase on videos and photos will last forever as one could not take such a video during the week.
Did you watch the video?
They very clearly mentioned that this was discussed with many rabbonim, and they were following rabbinical guidelines and they did not talk to the camera at any point.
I'm sure there's various opinions on it though.

AFAIK there is no heter if you know you are being videoed.

These heterim are only given when its Lo Niche Lei.
Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rav Ovadia Yosef both hold that it is permitted to walk in an area where there is a surveillance camera because a person doesn’t benefit from the being videoed by the surveillance camera and thus qualifies as a psik reisha d’lo nicha lei which is permitted for a d’rabanan prohibition.

However, Rav Elyashiv held that walking in the Kotel Plaza on Shabbat is forbidden since one does benefit from the added security with the surveillance cameras and as such it isn't considered an unintentional action.

"...no routine tasks, no minutia of life..."

Does preparing for and cleaning up after seudos not qualify?

(Am I supposed to know the man who crosses the street behind him?)
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

There was either chillul shabbos or this was all staged (although it may have been dirabbonon). I found at least 2. There are other things leading me to say it is staged as well.

Did you watch it? Keep your eyes open. I did not have sound so I do not know if they said any brochos etc.
I found it because of one thing that glared out at me that made no sense for a shabbos table.

If you're referring to the candles - the maid put them out before she left.

And also lit them? That in itself seems very staged.
