Shabbat 128: Ostriches and Elephants and Chickadees (Oh My!)
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Food for ravens - muktzah or no? Food for deer? For doves? What about food for ostriches? Or elephants? Who knew?! Plus: All of Israel are the children of kings. Namely, even exotic pets area reasonable. Note the application to a debtor collecting from one of our princes. Back to the animals - chicks, chickens, calves, foals... and toddlers: help them to walk. How do we navigate the muktzah aspect of animals with the need to care for them too? What if the animal is stuck in the water? What if the animal needs help giving birth? Lehavdil, what about a women giving birth? (Spoiler alert: women and animals are not in the same category, halakhically)
