*39 Melachos (Tofer sec. 8a and p. 822) suggests that as opposed to sewing that may be forbidden even if it is temporary because it looks like permanent sewing, gluing two papers together in a way that is clearly temporary is permitted since it does not resemble actual Tofer. Nonetheless, he writes that one should not use adhesive notes because they sometimes are left there for several days. Similarly, [https://www.halachipedia.com/documents/5773/13.pdf Rav Hershel Schachter (Halachipedia Article 5773 #13)] said that putting a sticky on a piece of paper could be an issue of Tofer unless one intended to remove it a short time afterwards. The [[Shabbos]] Home (p. 78) is lenient if it meant to be removed within 24 hours.</ref> Some are more lenient if it was already taken off its pad before Shabbat.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 28:8 is lenient to use a sticky note on Shabbat if it was already detached from its pad from before Shabbat and it isn't so sticky that it can't be removed without tearing the surface it was placed upon. Mishnat Yosef v. 14 p. 63 based on Yechava Daat 6:24 suggests that it is permitted even to remove the sticky note from the pad on Shabbat. </ref> Some poskim forbid using stick notes under all circumstances.<ref>Rav Elyashiv (Shvut Yitzchak v. 14 p. 227) forbade using sticky notes on Shabbat.</ref> | |||
*39 Melachos (Tofer | #Post-It flags are the same as sticky notes.<ref>[https://thehalacha.com/wp-content/uploads/Vol3Issue14.pdf Rav Belksy] held that since post-its and post-it flags are meant to be placed on a surface and removed easily they are not subject to tofer. Nonetheless, people consider them tofer and as such should not be used. Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 28:8 applied his ruling to post-it flags as well.</ref> | ||
