			''Zilzul Shabbat'': The Gemara Sanhedrin 46a describes a case in which the supreme court in Yerushalayim condemned a person who rode a horse on Shabbat. Even though technically, riding a horse on Shabbat is only a rabbinic prohibition, it is considered a serious infraction upon the sanctity of Shabbat.<ref>Rambam (Sanhedrin 24:4) codifies this.</ref>

	Melechet Machshevet refers to the concept that the Melachot, the 39 principle categories of prohibited activities of Shabbat, are considered intentional and constructive. For example, if someone rubs his back on the wall and accidentally turns on the light, that isn't considered a full fledged melacha because it lacks the criteria of Melechet Machshevet, specifically, it wasn't intentional. Another example is if a person tears open a container in a destructive fashion that isn't considered a full fledged melacha since it lacks the conditions of Melechet Machshevet, specifically, it wasn't constructive. Many of the examples of Melechet Machshevet are nonetheless rabbinically forbidden. The terms below define the criteria of Melechet Machshevet.

	There is a major dispute as to the definition of melacha sheina tzaricha legufa. Tosfot (94a s.v Rabbi)<ref name="ftn1"> See also Tosfos 94b s.v. aval </ref> explains that melacha sheina tzaricha legufa is a requirement that the purpose of each melacha be similar to the purpose for which it was done in the Mishkan. For example, if a person carries, he would be culpable if he carries in order to transport the object from one place to another. However, if he carries it just to remove it from a location that is melacha sheina tzaricha legufa.		There is a major dispute as to the definition of melacha sheina tzaricha legufa.

	Doing a permitted action in a way in which one doesn’t intend for a melacha to occur as a byproduct of one’s intended action is considered a dvar sheina mitchaven. Nonetheless, when it is inevitable that a melacha will take place as a result of one’s inherently permissible action, that action becomes forbidden (see Pesik Reisha).

	Of noteworthy mention is the opinion of the Aruch (s.v. svar n. 5), who holds that a pesik reisha is permitted if it done in a way that doesn’t benefit the one performing the action. Some<ref name="ftn12"> Kovetz Shiurim Ketubos no. 18</ref> have explained that his opinion is based on the understanding that pesik reisha is forbidden because it is as though one actually intended for the forbidden result to occur, being that it was inevitable and foreseeable. However, if one doesn’t benefit from the forbidden result, even if it is inevitable, clearly it is unintended since one doesn’t benefit. On the other hand, Tosfot (Shabbos 103a s.v. lo) argues that pesik reisha is forbidden under all circumstances. According to Tosfot, perhaps pesik reisha is forbidden because the forbidden result is considered included in one’s original permitted action since it is inevitable. That being the case, even if one doesn’t benefit, the forbidden action is considered included in one’s permitted act.
