There are a number of reasons why the Rabbis forbad moving certain items on [[Shabbat]]. | |||
# The rabbis understood that just like the prophets forbad speaking on Shabbat just like one speaks during the week ([[Dabber Dvar]]) and they forbad walking just like one walks during the week (MeAsot Derachecha), so too the items a person moves on Shabbat should different from what he moves during the week. Considering that a person can't do any melacha, he might begin to move all sorts of items around the house in an effort to organize or clean. If one does such, one will have violated the Torah's commandment to rest. | |||
# The rabbis prohibited moving items lest one come to use them for a prohibited use on Shabbat. | |||
# The rabbis felt that some people don't do any particular work during the week. If such people were able to speak, walk, and move items just like they do during the week, the "resting of Shabbat" wouldn't be distinguishable from one's rest the other days of the week. | |||
# The rabbis were concerned that if one were to move any item one would come to carry outdoors.<Ref>Rambam and Raavad ([[Shabbat]] 24:12), Bet Yosef (Intro to 308), Mishna Brurah (Intro to 308), Yalkut Yosef ([[Shabbat]] v. 2, p. 304) </ref> | |||
