Product of Melachah that wasn't really necessary, except that in the end it was You are right about the Gra however most poskim now only rely on the pssak of the Gra in the case of need. So if you paskened like the Gra straight through you would be able to use the item even without need, however most people hold not like the gra and rely on him when a real need arises. (does that make sense?) |

How do we operationally define kitniyos? I think that we agree. I will delete my comment below as it has caused confusion. I am not looking at the teshuvah right now but if memory serves you are correct. |

How do we operationally define kitniyos? thats correct but the way he expresses this is to say only that which is in the rema and the gemara are kitniyot, however whatever is not eaten in your community shouldnt be eaten by you. The point I was making was that there is not categorical definition of kitniyot based on the genetics or the physical makeup of any plant. Whatever isnt eaten on pessach because of kitniyot is kitniyot whether it is a fruit a veggie or a legume. |

Glow sticks on Shabbos It seams that you and I disagree on the role of poskim. I feel that it is irresponsible to pasken simply from the gut without textual backup. It is ok to recommend an approach but to pasken something is forbidden because it feels like it should be so is wrong. Responsible poskim do this all the time (see Iggros Moshe on hunting). Nowadays we don't add issurim and we dont make gezeiros. To add chumra or minhag may be fine but not to make a new gereira. |

Melachah on Shabbath - after Shabbath Only Reuven may not benefit. The other may. In other cases in halakha (ein mevatlin issur lekhathila) the item would be prohibited for Reuven and Shimon but in the this case it is only forbiden to reuven |

Glow sticks on Shabbos again you are completely correct but the former is used whe there is textual justification while the other is used when there is not. |

Product of Melachah that wasn't really necessary, except that in the end it was I think that you can find it in Orah Haim שיח it may be quoted in the mishnah berura there as well. Two other considerations are whether one considers those who violate the shabbat to be shogegim or meizidim (purposeful or accidental transgressors) I was using the tinok sh'nishba argument to say that they are shogegim. Also there are those who say (I think the ritva but I dont know if I could dig up the citation) that if there is no transformation to body of the item then there is no issue of maaseh shabbat. |

Glow sticks on Shabbos Shutim are not simply statements about intuition they are analytical arguments based on text. In most cases the great poskim (which I am not dont claim to be and never will be) show their pssak in terms of text. When giving an intuition based pssak they often qualify with "in my humble opinion" or "it seems somewhat that..." or "out of stringency it would be good to..." |

Glow sticks on Shabbos @DoubleAA I mostly agree with you. In general I think that Halakhic intuition has a tremendous role to play in deciding matter of practical halakha. I would qualify that by saying that when it comes to halakhic intuition unless there are sources to back it up I would not put it in the category of issur I would put it in the category of added stringency. Chumra is fantastic when necessary but in the case of need my or any one elses halakhic intuition neednt prevent me from doing the things that are needed |

Glow sticks on Shabbos @DoubleAA I once asked my Rav if it is permitted to add a leaf to a table on shabbat. He said of course why wouldnt it be. I said I dont know it just feels assur. His reply...i'm sorry but chazal didnt pasken according to your feelings. I laughed but he's right. it is mutar and I try to avoid it becasue it doesnt feel right but if I have to there is no problem with it. For me the same concept applies here. |

Glow sticks on Shabbos its only M"Bp if the action is the final act of creating an item and that in general the action is preformed by the artisan who does it. Additionally it may not apply to most keilim (tosafot) It is more likely that cleaning glassed is M"Bp as that is the last thing the optician does before handing over the pair of glasses. the way one uses an item cannot be M"Bp if it were it would be assur to use any item in your house. It is a light stick before you snap it is not broken and it is no more a light stick after you snap it. Is using plastic dishes M"Bp on the plastic plates? of course not |
