2 APRIL 2015 - 13 NISSAN 5775 SHABBAT COOKING FOOD (both solid and liquid): HOT WATER YOM TOV COOKING Since cooking is allowed on Yom Tov in any event, once the electricity is restored, none of the above restrictions apply. LIGHTS ON SHABBAT & YOM TOV In cases of necessity during the period of load shedding only, it would be permitted to move an L.E.D. light (that was either left on before Shabbat Yom Tov or comes on as a result of load shedding during Shabbat or Yom Tov) to another room where it is required. Furthermore, during load shedding only, it would be permitted to ask a non-Jew to remove the plug from the electric socket so as to move the light to another room. In the absence of a non-Jew, one would be permitted to remove the plug from the socket in an unusual manner (e.g. using one’s elbows), so that you can move the light to where it may be required. A blech* : Food (both solid and liquid) that has not been cooked or boiled before Shabbat, can only be placed on a covered flame / element to allow for the cooking or boiling on Shabbat. Therefore, to enable one to place uncooked food on a stove before Shabbat, a “blech”, which is a metal sheet covering the stove, has customarily been used in many homes. ******************************************
