Power Up!

Is it OK to:

1) ask a Jew who isn't particular about Shabbos to turn off a light?

2) ask a non-Jew to turn your light on?

3) ask a non-Jew to turn your annoying alarm off?

4) ask your non-Jewish cleaner to clean up from Shabbos?

5) ask your non-Jewish cleaner to set up for Saturday night event? 

6) plug in your freezer which is full of meat when the plug got knocked out?

7) ask a non-Jew to bring you Challah from your neighbor when there is no eruv when you realise on Shabbos that you have run out of Challah?

We will look at these scenarios and see whether it's muktza and your stuck or if there is a way to move?:

1) play in sandpit

2) phone left on a bed

3) crack open a nut with a hammer

4) throw out dirty nappy

5) move fallen sukkah decorations that have fallen in sukkah

6) fresh egg your chicken lays

7) use shabbos table for shabbos day once candlesticks were on it Friday night
