Reb Akiva Eigers Judenstern Shabbos lamp

 

Parshas Hashavua  砖诪讜转 讻:讻

 
   诇讗 转注砖讜谉 讗转讬


In Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 141-8) it says:


“You are not allowed to replicate the 砖诇讞谉 and 
诪谞讜专讛 etc. of the 讘讬转 讛诪拽讚砖.

The type of metal or size doesn't matter.  You may
not make a seven-branch Menorah".


R.Akiva Eiger's son in law (R. Shmuel Birnbaum zt"l) writes his 

Shver had a silver Judenstern Shabbos lamp with seven spouts.

He took it to a silversmith who with great difficulty managed to add 

on an additional spout so it wouldn't be a seven-branch Menorah


Reb Akiva Eiger seems to hold like the Poskim*  that since we 

are dealing with an 讗讬住讜专 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗  (诇讗 转注砖讜谉 讗转讬) therefore 

all seven branch Menorahs are forbidden, regardless of the 

shape (cups are in a straight line or in a circle etc.)



The Chasam Sofer (Toras Moshe Parshas Yisro) writes 

(based on a Tosfos Yoma 54b)  " Because we  hold 

wooden tables would be 驻住讜诇 in the 讘讬转 讛诪拽讚砖 

therefore, we may make and have wooden tables in our homes.

 

However, metal tables regardless of size shape, or type 

of metal are kosher 讘讚讬注讘讚 in the 讘讬转 讛诪拽讚砖,

therefore, all metal tables may not be made or held for

personal use."

 

The Chasam  Sofer  continues that he sees no 讛讬转专 for the 

Matzoh bakery to have copper (metal) tables.


According to the Chasam Sofer, there is no 讛讬转专 
to own any metal tables.

 

The Darkei Teshuva (Y.D. 141-8) argues on the 

Chasam Sofer. He writes:

 " We find  the Gemoro (Shabbos119a) 

R. Chiya b Aba praised the Ba’al Habayis who brought in 

L’kovod Shabbos a golden table. Had it been 讗住讜专 to 

make he would not have praised him.


讘讻讜专 砖讜专- 驻转讞讬 转砖讜讘讛*
