Title:Gov. Carrying A Jew`s stuff on Shabbat
Name:Lev
City: Jerusalem and Las VegasState: Israel
Rabbinic Judaism, which this congregation practices, does not permit a non-Jew to do any of the prohibited Shabbat activities for a Jew as a substitute for the Jew doing the activity.I am referring explicitly to the 39th (the last in a series of 39) Av Melacha which prohibits carrying a item from one domain to another on Shabbat.
