A newly released Halachic work, ‘Commerce and Shabbos’ (Feldheim) is being widely regarded as a first-of- its-kind to discuss common business-Shabbos related questions. It examines the laws of Shabbos as they relate to today’s most common business practices and specifically to the many questions linked to Internet commerce on Shabbos.
It includes chapters on real-estate management, construction, nursing homes, and other industries that commonly pose challenges in respect to the laws of Shabbos.
In addition, there are extensive discussions on e-commerce, such as Jewish-owned websites, selling on Amazon, selling on Ebay, and using Amazon fulfillment.
The book includes hundreds of original p’sokim on these matters from Harav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a (Rosh Kollel of Kollel Avreichim of Toronto and Rosh Av Bais Din of the Bais Hora’ah of Lakewood). It is written by Rabbi Yosef Y. Kushner (a son-in-law to Harav Shlomo Miller) in conjunction with other members of the Bais Hora’ah of Lakewood.
