Study Guide Shabbat 142

This week's shiurim are dedicated for a refuah shleima for our dear Ellie, Chana Esther Bat Ayala Hadar - with all our love, Elana and Danny Storch and family. And by Cliff Felig in honor of Minna Ferziger Felig on the occasion of her birthday. Mazel tov!

Why is one allowed to carry a child with a rock in his/her hand but not money? In the case of the basket with money, it must be there are fruits in the basket also as the basket is serving as a base for both muktze and non muktze items and that is why it can be carried. Why don't we dump the fruits and the rock out and then put the fruits back in? One can carry pure and impure truma if they are together. Rav Chisda says this is only if the impure is at the top and one cannot access the pure that is underneath. However a braita is brought that says either way it is allowed. How can Rav Chisda explain himself in light of the braita? How does Rabbi Yehuda allow on Shabbat one to fix a mixture of 100 measures regular produce and one of truma by removing one that will now be considered the truma - isn't this like fixing something which should be forbidden on Shabbat? Three possible explanations are brought - the first two are rejected. Is there is a stone on top of a barrel, how can one get it off to get to the wine in the barrel? Or money on a pillow? The gemara explains the exact details of the cases and how and why it can be done in that way? Can one carry an item that is muktze in order to protect it by bringing something that is permitted to be carried and carrying them both? Or is that solution only permitted for a dead body out of respect for the body?
