House Keys and Safe Keys"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Let us say that somebody is going on an outing on Yom Tov and is worried that were he to leave his home unlocked, thieves would come and steal his Yom Tov food. Under these circumstances, he may lock the door and take the keys with him, as this carrying is for a Yom Tov need. Similarly, one may carry the keys for rooms that contain clothing or jewelry which could be worn on Yom Tov.<\/p>\n<p>However, <em>poskim<\/em> disagree as to whether one who leaves his home may take the key to his safe, if he is afraid that while he is away thieves will steal his money. Some maintain that this is prohibited, as carrying is permitted only for the enjoyment of Yom Tov, but not in order to avoid monetary loss (Rosh; Maharil). Others maintain that alleviating a concern is also considered a Yom Tov need, and therefore one is permitted to carry his safe key (<em>Hagahot Smak<\/em>; Rema 518:1). In practice, one who wishes to be lenient has an opinion on which to rely. <em>Le-khat\u1e25ila<\/em>, it is better to leave the key with neighbors. If he still wishes to take the key with him, it is preferable to carry it with a <em>shinui<\/em>, for example in his sock or hat.<sup><a href='#_te01ftn6_3' id='_te01ftnref6_3' class='aup1'>[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In contrast, one may not carry something in the public domain for a non-Jew, even if the non-Jew promises him food in return for his service. This is because there is no direct link between the carrying and the food preparation. Even if the non-Jew threatens to steal his food if the Jew refuses to carry something for him through the public domain, he still may not desecrate Yom Tov for this. This is because doing <em>melakha<\/em> that is necessary to prepare food or that directly contributes to Yom Tov enjoyment is permissible, but doing a <em>melakha<\/em> that has an indirect link to acquiring or safeguarding food is not (R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach in SSK ch. 19 n. 17).<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<a href='#_te01ftnref6_3' id='_te01ftn6_3'>[3]<\/a>. The permissibility of carrying a safe key if necessary is based on the fact that according to many, nowadays there is no such thing as a <em>reshut ha-rabim<\/em> as defined by Torah law (see <em>Peninei Halakha: Shabbat<\/em> 21:8-9). Thus, the uncertainty pertains to a case of rabbinic law. When there is a doubt concerning a rabbinic law, the <em>halakha<\/em> follows the lenient position. Additionally, Rashi, Rif, and Rambam maintain that carrying unnecessarily on Yom Tov is not prohibited (or at worst is prohibited rabbinically; see above ch. 3 n. 2). When there is an <em>eruv<\/em>, even those who do not rely on the <em>eruv<\/em> on Shabbat (because of the opinion that a highway 16 <em>amot<\/em> wide qualifies as a public domain by Torah law) can be lenient here, as this is a case of a twofold doubt. First, it is possible that the <em>halakha<\/em> follows the opinion that nowadays there is no such thing as a <em>reshut ha-rabim<\/em> as defined by Torah law, so the <em>eruv<\/em> is effective. Second, it is possible that the <em>halakha<\/em> follows the opinion that on Yom Tov one may carry even without a need. If he then carries the key with a <em>shinui<\/em>, then it is a case of a twofold doubt on the rabbinic level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us say that somebody is going on an outing on Yom Tov and is worried that were he to leave his home unlocked, thieves would come and steal his Yom Tov food.
