Mishnah in the Park - Shabbatot Between Pesach and Shavuot

39 Melachot Project -
#32 - Koteiv - Writing
Writing is defined biblically by making permanent meaningful markings, including symbols, pictures and letters. If gibberish, writing two letters is the minimum to violate biblically; however, rabbinically any writing (even temporary) is prohibited.
Modern Application: Using letters or words that are premade and not permanently put together are permitted to use, such as the shul's page number indicator and scrabble pieces. However, if they click into place that would be problematic, such as the game upwords. Writing onto food is a problem, as well as making a symbol or drawing. One may walk in the snow or mud even if your boots might leave a copy of the company name in the footprint.
Eruv is up this Shabbat!
For Eruv status and boundarie click Oakland Eruv
The Eruv is checked every Friday and the website is updated weekly.
