KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA

For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:

1. If someone has a message recorder running on Shabbat that is connected to a telephone number (answering machine) and sometimes there are secular Jews calling on Shabbat, if the person is a doctor or a wholesaler etc., in places where the population has a majority of non-Jews this machine is allowed to be running on Shabbat. However, in a place where the majority is Jewish, one must be stringent and turn it off on Shabbat.

2. It is prohibited to run a Shabbat clock to turn on the TV or Radio to listen to news or watch TV Shows on Shabbat, because the programmers in the broadcast location violate many laws (if they are Jewish) when airing these programs on Shabbat. If one has already violated this law and the TV is turned on during Shabbat they may not watch or hear any media because one is benefitting/enjoying from a Jew’s desecration of Shabbat which is prohibited. [The Yalkut Yosef continues speaking lengthily about the prohibition of watching TV in Israel or outside Israel on Shabbat and then speaks about the great prohibition of having a TV in one’s home at all].

Shabbat Shalom!
