Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

I don't know.

That it might be like buying a Sefer Torah.

Anyway, just a little follow-up from last week.

But I didn't even quote what it says in Shulchan Aruch last week.

I was just quoting the Rishonim.

So it's important to know what it says in Shulchan Aruch.

And, you know, always appreciate feedback, especially from Tamir Chacham of Rabbi Mendelitz's caliber.

Okay, question number one.

Many homes now have digital picture frames or screens that display rotating photos, and sometimes headlines or sports scores is permitted for such screens to be on during Shabbos.

So let's first take the headlines and sports scores off the table a little bit.

Meaning, if it's putting live headlines and sports scores, you're probably not allowed to read such things on Shabbos.

The Shulchan Aruch says you're not allowed to read captions under pictures and things like that.

So probably there's some level of a gzerimish m'kosev and of the d'chol and other things relating to headlines and sports scores that flash across Shabbos.

screen to be reading such things probably probably but let's just talk about the digital frames themselves because it's not only popular in homes it has become increasingly popular in schools that they have a display a digital display in

In my shul, in the actual sanctuary, in the front of the shul, we have two digital displays.

Now, typically, they don't change very much, other than, like, on the bottom line, it says, and then it will say, that will flash away, and at some point then we'll say, or whatever.

You know, on the bottom of the screen and the rest of the screen stays pretty consistent with that day's and that week's Zmanim until somebody changes it.

And that's all it has.

But a lot of shuls have display boards in the lobby where it will have flyers of upcoming events in the shul that go across the screen, come on and off the screen over the course of Shabbos.

So it's homes, it's shuls.
