Laws of Tying on Shabbat
Laws of the Calendar
Sources
A
MISHNA:
One may tie a bucket with a belt
on Shabbat, as he will certainly not leave it tied to the bucket, and therefore it is not a permanent knot.
But
one may
not
tie a bucket
with a rope. Rabbi Yehuda permits
doing so.
Rabbi Yehuda stated a principle:
With regard to
any knot that is not permanent, one is not liable
for tying
it.
GEMARA:
We learned in the mishna that according to the first
tanna
, it is prohibited to tie a rope to a bucket on Shabbat, and Rabbi Yehuda permits doing so…
Shabbat 113a:2-7
MISHNA:
And these are knots for which one is liable
to bring a sin-offering if one tied them on Shabbat:
A camel driver’s knot and a sailor’s knot,
both of which are meant to be permanent.
And just as one is liable
to bring a sin-offering
for tying these
knots,
so too, he is liable
to bring a sin-offering
for untying them. Rabbi Meir says
a principle:
For
tying
any knot that one can untie with one of his hands, one is not liable
to bring a sin-offering…
Shabbat 111b:5-9
A person who ties a knot which is intended to remain permanently and which can be tied [only] by craftsmen is liable. Included in this category are the knots tied by camel drivers, the knots tied by seamen, the knots tied by shoemakers when making shoes and sandals.
One who ties a knot that is intended to remain permanently, but does not require a craftsmen [to tie it], is not liable. A knot that will not remain permanently and does not require a craftsman may be tied with no compunctions. How is [the intermediate category] defined? If one of a person's sandal straps tore and he tied it…
Mishneh Torah, Sabbath 10:1-8
We also learned in the mishna that
Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov says: One may tie
a rope across an entrance before an animal so that it will not go out. The Gemara says: This is
obvious.
The Gemara explains: It is
only necessary
to teach this
halakha
in a case
where
the entrance
has two ropes. Lest you say
Shabbat 112b:11
Rabbi Yirmeya was walking after Rabbi Abbahu in a
karmelit
on Shabbat when
the strap of his sandal tore.
Rabbi Yirmeya
said to
Rabbi Abbahu:
What should I do to it?
Rabbi Abbahu
said to him: Take a moist reed fit for animal consumption and wrap it around
the sandal to fasten it. And the Gemara relates:
Abaye was standing before Rav Yosef
on Shabbat when
the strap
of
his
sandal
tore.
Abaye
said to
Rav Yosef:
What should I do with it?
He
said to him: Leave it
and do not move it…
Shabbat 112a:8
and
there was
a cracked roofing placed atop
the two houses. If the roofing was intact it would have the legal status of a tent over a corpse, rendering everything in the alleyway, and, through the windows, everything in the houses, ritually impure. However, since the roofing was cracked and the corpse was directly beneath the opening, if the opening was the size of a handbreadth or more, the entire alleyway and the houses would not become impure. Only the area directly over the corpse extending through the opening is impure…
Shabbat 157b:1
And
the Gemara
raised a contradiction between
one statement of
the Rabbis
and another statement
of the Rabbis, as we learned
in a mishna:
One may tie a bucket with a sash,
to draw water from a well,
but
one may
not
do so
with a rope, and Rabbi Yehuda permits
the use of a rope. Before addressing the aforementioned contradiction, the Gemara asks: The mishna is referring to
a rope of what
kind?
If you say
it is referring to
a standard rope…
Pesachim 11a:17
MISHNA:
One
may
tie up
on Shabbat
a string [
nima
]
that came loose from a harp used
in the Temple, but not in
the rest of
the country. And
tying the string to the harp for
the first time is prohibited
both
here and there.
Eruvin 102b:14
We learned in the mishna, among those liable for performing primary categories of labor:
One who ties and one who unties.
The Gemara asks:
Where was
there
tying in the Tabernacle? Rava said: They tied
the
tents
of the Tabernacle
to the pegs.
The Gemara rejects this: And is that considered performance of the labor of
tying? That was tying
a knot
in order to untie
it. When the children of Israel departed from an encampment, they dismantled the Tabernacle, which involved untying all of the knots…
Shabbat 74b:8
1.
The Laws of Tying and Knots on Shabbat, 7 Seifim:
One who ties a permanent, craftsman’s knot is chayav. For example, the camel riders knot, the sailors knot and the knots tying shoe and sandal straps tied by the leather workers when manufactured etc. However, one who ties a permanent knot that is not a craftsman’s knot is patur.
RAMA: There are those who disagree and say that one is chayav for tying a permanent knot even if it is a layman’s knot. [Rashi; Rosh; R' Yerucham; Tur] Others say that any knot that is not intended to be opened that very day is called a permanent knot…
Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 317:1
4. One is permitted to tie a bucket with a belt or strap etc., but not with a rope. This is true for the buckets permanently used in a well. However, our buckets which are not used permanently for the well – are not permanent knots. 5. A bow is permitted because it is not a knot.
RAMA: even if one ties a single knot beneath it we are accustomed to permit it.
6. One is permitted to tie a rope to pen in a cow even when tied to both sides of the opening and we are not afraid lest one unties one end and lets the animal out on that side and leaves the other end tied…
Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 317:4-7
The valley discussed in the mishna in
Teharot
is unusual, as it refers to
a case where it has partitions
that are ten handbreadths high surrounding it.
And in accordance with that
which
Ulla said
that
Rav Yoḥanan said: An enclosure [
karpef
],
a large courtyard that is not contiguous with the house and does not serve a direct purpose for the house, that is
greater than
a field that produces a crop of
two
se’a
, that was not
originally
surrounded
by a fence
for
the purpose of
residence…
