This session continues the discussion of permissible and forbidden speech on Shabbat. The Shulhan Arukh, chapter 307, seems to reverse his ruling allowing the study of secular matters on Shabbat. This is explained in light of the literature available at the time, but it is also an example of the contradicting opinions one might find in the Shulhan Arukh.
The second part of this podcast is an introduction to the laws of Muktzeh - the objects one should not touch on Shabbat. The main reason for that rabbinic prohibition is to associate the forbidden work on Shabbat, especially commerce, with physical objects.
