#One may not sweep in a courtyard even if it’s tiled as a prohibition of sweeping a field but sweeping in a house (with flooring, where majority of houses in the city have flooring) is permitted.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 337:2, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 80:73, Mishna Brurah 337:14, Sefer Hilchot [[Shabbat]] (vol 2 pg 51, Choresh note 115, by Rabbi Eider) in name of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein), 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 2, pg 256-7). See Chazon Ovadia (Shabbat v. 4, pp. 54-57). </ref> One shouldn’t use a broom with straw bristles because it’s definitely going to cause individual bristles to break.<ref>Rama O.C. 337:2. Birkei Yosef 337:1 quotes the Maharikash who disagrees and doesn't think that there is any melacha occuring when a bristle of a broom breaks. Bet Meir agrees. Mishna Brurah 337:14 opines that it is forbidden since it is considered [[soter]], breaking of a utensil. Even though it is in a destructive fashion, [[mekalkel]], it is still rabbinically forbidden.</ref> | |||
