Isn’t driving on Shabbat ‘less work’ than walking? Why can’t Ashkenazim put chicken soup on a hot plate - and why can Sephardim?

The 39 Melachot lie at the heart of the halachot of Shabbat. Learn these laws in depth, independently, tracing them through Mishna, Midrashei Halacha, Gemara, Rishonim and modern Responsa with Rabbanit Surale Rosen and Rabbi Dr Glenn Bezalel on the Iyun Programme: Year 5 - The 39 Melachot. Women only.
