# Just as observant Jews do not violate [[Shabbat]], they equally have a responsibility to prevent other Jews from violating [[Shabbat]] when it is in their control. Asking a Jew to do work is a more serious transgression than asking a non-Jew, as it causes someone who is obligated to keep [[Shabbat]] to violate it. By asking a fellow Jew to violate [[Shabbat]], the requester violates "[[Lifnei Iver]] lo Titen Michshal" - the issur forbidding a Jew to cause another Jew to violate a law he is obligated in. <ref> 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat; vol 1, pg 91, footnote 354) | # Just as observant Jews do not violate [[Shabbat]], they equally have a responsibility to prevent other Jews from violating [[Shabbat]] when it is in their control.
