Is it possible to make repairs on Saturday? When is it legal to carry out repairs on weekends?

Thank you very much for contacting us. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give a definitive answer to your question. The answer to it depends, firstly, on what water they are going to wash with, and secondly, on whether they are going to wash the whole body or only certain parts, see below.

Let's try to briefly analyze this issue. The Gemara (Shabbat 39b) says that it is forbidden to wash on the Sabbath hot water. This is the decree of the sages. What is the reason for the ban? Previously, as you know, in ordinary houses it was not possible to wash with hot water, for this they visited baths. Unfortunately, some attendants turned out to be not entirely honest people and could not resist the temptation of easy money. They heated the water on the Sabbath, violating both the prohibition of starting a fire and the prohibition of cooking, and the visitors were told that the water had been heated before the Sabbath. When the sages found out about this, they generally forbade bathing on Saturday with hot water, regardless of when it was heated, so that people would not heat water on Saturday in a forbidden way.

It should be noted: this decision has a certain scope:

1. With water that was heated ON SATURDAY (even if it was heated in an authorized way), it is generally forbidden to wash.

2. Water that has been heated in an authorized way BEFORE SATURDAY is forbidden to wash whole body or most of it.

3. Although it is forbidden to wash only with hot water, halachic authorities say that it is not customary to wash the whole body and V cold water , so as not to violate the prohibition of squeezing (not squeezing out the hair) or transferring (water that has remained on the body) from one possession to another (Mishnah Brura 326:21). For this reason, it is not customary to take a shower, bath or swim in the pool on Saturday, even if the water there is cold.

4. In addition, there is a separate prohibition to swim in natural waters or in a pool that is in public ownership, because. there is a fear that a person will start, forgetting, to make a device for swimming (Shulchan Aruch 339: 2, Mishnah Brura 339:4).

From all that has been said it follows: With cold water or water heated before the Sabbath, it is allowed to wash the hands, feet, face or other parts of the body so that in total this constitutes a smaller part of the human body (Shulchan Aruch, Ramo 326: 1). In this case, one should beware of violating the ban on squeezing hair. Therefore, places where hair grows in a thick cover (head, mustache, beard, armpits, groin) should either be lightly blotted with a towel or not wiped at all ( Orhot Shabbat 13:51).

It is customary for a woman who needs to take a dip in the mikveh on Shabbat to dip, as usual, in warm water. When wiping, one must beware of violating the ban on squeezing hair, see above ( Orhot Shabbat 21, note 30).

As for dipping men in the mikveh on the Sabbath, there are different customs here, so you should act in accordance with the custom adopted in your community.

Is it possible with a five-day work week to involve employees on Saturday and Sunday (two days in a row)? How should the requirements of Art. 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation that the duration of a weekly uninterrupted rest cannot be less than 42 hours?

After considering the issue, we came to the following conclusion:

The rule of Article 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on the duration of weekly uninterrupted rest is general. Labor legislation allows employees to be involved in work on weekends, including two days off in a row or with a different frequency, subject to the conditions and procedures determined by labor legislation.

Rationale for the conclusion:

According to Art. 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the normal working time cannot exceed 40 hours per week, and the duration of the weekly uninterrupted rest, in turn, cannot be less than 42 hours (Article 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The general day off is Sunday, the second day off with a five-day working week is established by a collective agreement or internal labor regulations. Both days off are provided, as a rule, in a row (part two of article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). According to the first part of Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, work on weekends is prohibited, with the exception of cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation itself.

These are the general rules. At the same time, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regulates such situations when employees are involved in work on weekends with their written consent. These are cases of the need to perform unforeseen work in advance, on the urgent implementation of which the normal operation of the organization as a whole or its individual structural divisions, an individual entrepreneur (part two of article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) depends in the future.

In other cases, engaging in work on weekends is allowed with the written consent of the employee and taking into account the opinion of the elected body of the primary trade union organization (part five, article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In this case, the corresponding written order of the employer is also required (part eight of article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). It should be noted that for some categories of workers, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a direct ban or restrictions on engaging in work on weekends (part seven of Article 113, Articles 259, 268 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Thus, within the meaning of the fifth part of Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer has the right to involve employees in work on weekends in all other cases not expressly specified in the named article, subject to the written consent of the employees and taking into account the opinion of the elected body of the primary trade union organization. There are no restrictions on the frequency or frequency of attracting employees to work on weekends by law. At the same time, the legislation guarantees increased pay for work on weekends and holidays (Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Note that comply with Art. 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation when exercising the employer's right granted by Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it will not work even if they are hired on one of the days off: in this case, the duration of the weekly uninterrupted rest of the employee will be less than 42 hours.

Considering the above, in our opinion, the provisions of the fifth part of Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are a special rule in relation to Art. 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the employer has the right to involve the employee to work on weekends for two days in a row, as well as on weekends for two or more weeks in a row, subject to the conditions provided for in Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Is it okay to make noise in the street on weekends - this is a question that many people ask. And this is not surprising, because no one wants to violate the rules and pay a fine for failure to comply with the requirements of the law. It should be noted right away that it is possible to make noise on the street (and in the apartment) on Saturday and Sunday, but only at certain hours and without exceeding the norms established by law. By the way, each region of Russia has its own time limits when it is permissible to make noise, and when it is strictly punishable. However, before voicing the time, you should figure out what kind of noise is “excessive”, for which you can incur administrative responsibility.

What is "excessive" noise

In general, a person calmly tolerates noise equal to 50-55 dB (dB is a unit of sound volume), which is why in Russia there are certain noise standards that cannot be exceeded. In the daytime, the permitted maximum sound volume is 55 decibels in the apartment and up to 70 - on the street, and at night - no more than 40 in the apartment and 60 on the street. If the noise level is below the specified values, then it does not interfere with the life of people. However, exceeding these standards, especially if the noise does not stop for a long time, adversely affects a person. Often, negative factors manifest themselves in the form of irritability and headache - the nervous system suffers.

It is impossible to measure the noise level without special devices, but it should be borne in mind that the sounds indicated below are a violation of public order and administrative penalties can be incurred for them.

• Explosion of pyrotechnics (fireworks, "bombs").
• Loud singing, screaming.
• Household noises (these include loud celebrations of weddings, birthdays, etc.).
• Alarm (both home and street).
• Loud music.
• Construction and repair work.

All of the above noises exceed the legal norms, since their sound level is above 70 dB.

How much noise can you make on a Saturday in the street

According to the law in Moscow and the Moscow region on Saturday (as well as on Sunday and holidays) "time of silence" - from 22.00 to 10.00, in St. Petersburg - from 23.00 to 8.00, in Krasnoyarsk - from 10.00 to 18.00, in KhMAO (Ugra) - from 21.00 to 8.00.

Failure to comply with the law threatens with administrative responsibility - a fine. The amounts of fines in all regions are different, for example, if the violation occurred in Moscow or the region, and the violator is an individual, then the amount that he will have to pay is from one to two thousand rubles.

The fine for violating the silence in Krasnoyarsk for individuals is from 500 to 4,000 rubles, in St. Petersburg - from 500 to 1,000, in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - from 500 to 2,000 rubles.

A popular view among evangelical Christians is that the Sabbath is an Old Testament institution that is optional for Christians. In Orthodoxy, at the moment there are no direct prohibitions on working from Saturday and Sunday. This is the official position of the Russian Orthodox Church, which she voices on television and radio.

Saturday or Shabbat in Hebrew is the seventh day of the week on which the Torah prescribes abstaining from work. In Judaism, Saturday is the seventh day of the creation of the world, since the week begins with Sunday. On this day, God rested after the creation of the world and man on the sixth day. Today, Orthodox Jews still observe Shabbat, on which almost any kind of activity is prohibited, even driving a car.

Can I work on the Saturday before Easter?

According to Orthodox tradition on the Saturday before Easter Good Saturday), for all true believers comes the apogee of restrictions, both regarding the food consumed and regarding their deeds. So on this day Christian church strongly recommends:

• refrain from fast food (meat and dairy products, eggs, as well as confectionery) and sexual relations;
• refuse flatly any kind of alcohol;
• do not hold entertainment events;
• do not take part in fishing or hunting trips;
• postpone all varieties of gardening, construction work, needlework, as well as repairing inventory;
• in no case do not use swear words, and even more so to arrange quarrels;
• do not clean, do laundry, or even iron clothes.

Is it possible to work as a puncher on Saturday

Law, law. . . You’d better just humanly agree with your neighbors, ask who will be more convenient when, so that no one’s children sleep, promise not to drill for more than an hour (I think no one can stand such swotting for more than an hour), then bake pies and distribute them to Gratitude. And everything will hurt.

If the owner of a dwelling does not use it for its intended purpose, systematically violates the rights and interests of neighbors, or mismanages the dwelling, allowing it to be destroyed, the local government may warn the owner of the need to eliminate the violations, and if they entail the destruction of the premises, also appoint the owner a commensurate period for renovation of the premises.

Can I work on Saturday and Sunday

And then the Bible says about the seventh day: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished His works which He did, and rested on the seventh day from all His works which He did. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, for on it he rested from all his works, which God created and created.

Cancel the celebration of the Sabbath, established by God, no one can. No one can transfer the meaning and meaning of Saturday to Sunday. If you pay close attention to Orthodox worship, and to theology, then it will become clear that Saturday is a holiday. Christians just do not observe some of the ritual prescriptions associated with the Sabbath, in particular, the Sabbath rest is not observed with all strictness.

Yuri Belanovsky: Is it possible to work on Saturday and Sunday

Indeed, for the established folk tradition a closer understanding of other "idle", "non-working" days - Orthodox holidays, both great, relating to the Lord Jesus Christ or the Mother of God, and small, relating to saints, whether it be St. Nicholas of Myra or the Archangel Michael. The Russian people, although they have long perceived Saturday as the first of two legal holidays, at the same time think little about the history and meaning of Saturday. I'll try to explain where we got two non-working days At the end of the week.

On another occasion, addressing those who accused Him of violating the Sabbath, Jesus said the well-known words: “If you knew what it means: “I want mercy, and not sacrifices,” you would not condemn the innocent. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore, the Son of Man is lord over the Sabbath.”

Trinity parent Saturday in 2018: what not to do and what you can

Of course, on this day it is customary to commemorate parents, but not only them. On Trinity Saturday, those who are not connected with a person by any family ties are also commemorated. The clergy say that the purpose of parental Saturdays is the unification of the Church. Parental Saturdays give us the opportunity to experience the reality of the unification of all its members - both its saints, and those living today, and the dead.

If in Trinity parent Saturday a person could not get into the temple, then it is not forbidden to read a prayer for the departed at home. Some believe that it is on Trinity parental Saturday that notes can be submitted to the church about the repose of those who have arbitrarily taken their own lives, as well as about those who have died unbaptized. But this is a delusion - this cannot be done, since the Church does not pray for the unbaptized and suicides.

Is it possible to work on Saturday

On Good Friday The Lord Jesus, having suffered for the transgressions of the world on the Cross, was placed by the disciples in a tomb - a cave in which the great miracle of the Resurrection will take place. On this day, after virtually complete abstinence from food in Good Friday we need to support our strength a little before the upcoming Easter service.

As we know, this did not help, and after three days the tomb was empty, and Christ really was resurrected. Yesterday, by the way, Orthodox believers emphasized Good Friday, which is the most mournful day, not only during Holy Week, however, and the entire Christian calendar. Therefore, every Friday throughout the year is Lenten. Throughout the night that will precede the holiday, night services are held in the churches, when parishioners can see Easter together.

Garden

From this follows one general rule: if there is work around the house, in the garden, which can be postponed, then it is better to postpone it and do it after church holiday. For example, paint a fence, chop wood, dig a well, etc. A day or two will not decide anything, and the conscience will be clear, and everything will turn out later in the best possible way.

By this commandment, the Lord God commands to work for six days and do the necessary things, to which one is called, and devote the seventh day to serving Him and to holy works. Deeds pleasing to Him include: caring for the salvation of one’s soul, praying in the temple of God and at home, studying the Word of God, enlightening the mind and heart with useful religious knowledge, pious religious conversations, helping the poor, visiting the sick and those imprisoned in prison, comforting the mourners and other things. mercy.

What time is it allowed to make repairs in the apartment and is it possible to “make noise” on weekends

Unfortunately, there is no such law that would regulate the level of permissible noise and the time frame for carrying out repair work. Different regions of the Russian Federation have different laws, norms and requirements, and in some cases they contradict each other.

It often happens that you actually have to fight for your rights and peace, and the neighbors continue to drill and knock with a hammer even on weekends, and sometimes at night. In this case, knowledge of the basic laws and regulations for repairs will save you from unnecessary problems. About the permitted repair hours in Moscow and the regions of the Russian Federation - read below.

Is it possible to work on the Day of the Holy Trinity in the country, in the garden, in the garden

Of course, the planned work in the garden or in the garden should not be difficult - digging the earth, sawing down trees should be postponed until another time. And watering or tying plants just may be those possible options that are not prohibited. It is also not forbidden to go to the forest on Trinity and collect medicinal herbs and flowers.

It is believed among the people that on the feast of the Holy Trinity the land that feeds people is consecrated, so the day after the church holiday comes the Day of the Holy Spirit or Spirits Day. On this day, it is strictly forbidden to do work in the garden or in the garden.

Saturday is considered an easy day. This day is favorable for starting new business, traveling, making new acquaintances.

From the point of view of astrology, Saturday is under the cover of the planet Saturn. Saturday in Latin sounds like "Saturni dies", which means the day of Saturn. In English, Saturday has a similar name - Saturday. In world astrology, Saturn patronizes men. It gives them strength, confidence, stability.

Signs of Saturday

There are many beliefs associated with the Sabbath. People have known for a long time which things will be good and which will be harmful. Let's consider the main ones:

• People born on Saturday are stubborn, persistent, achieve their goals;
• If you were born on Saturday and your child was born on Saturday, then your whole family will be happy and rich;
• All started business will bring success;
• A good day to move to a new place of residence;
• Bed linen needs to be changed on Saturday evenings, then family life it will be long and calm;
• Saturday is good for big shopping;
• On Saturday, it is recommended to announce an engagement, get married, baptize children;
• You can not swear with relatives;
• Can't work.

Saturday is the first day off. People who work all week try to redo all household chores on the weekend. But there are those who spend Saturday at work. However, there is a good folk proverb: "Work is not a wolf, it will not run away into the forest." This means that sometimes it is worth putting things off, as not all days of the week are suitable for work. According to the traditions of our ancestors, one cannot work on Saturday.

Why you can't work on Saturday

Jews live in Old Testament, which says that God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day. The Jewish week begins on Sunday, so Saturday is the seventh day of the week. In Hebrew, Saturday sounds like "Shabbat". Shabbat is peace and quiet. On this day, one cannot work, it must be spent in prayers, in thoughts about God. You can't do anything that can distract you from God. Therefore, in Israel, officially Saturday is a day off. And on Sunday they go to work. On this day, you can’t even turn on the electricity, swim.

There is an exception: if a person's life is at stake, then you can work, and even need to. For example, hospitals are open on Saturdays. The Bible does say that you can’t work on Saturdays, but people began to think a lot, and by the time Jesus Christ was born, Saturday turned into a day of laziness. They even set a limit on the distance that can be walked that day. If a person walked more than 2,000 steps, he was severely punished.

Christians also have an opinion that God worked for six days, creating our Earth, and on the seventh he rested, admiring his creation. However, Christians live according to the New Testament. It says that the seventh day is Sunday. Therefore, Christians try to have time to complete all the work on Saturday, and do not work on Sunday. But according to church canons, Sunday begins on Saturday evening, so believing Christians try not to work on Saturday either.

Before the baptism of Rus', Saturday was the day of visiting the bath. People washed away negative energy from weekdays. But physical work was not allowed, only in special cases. For example, feed animals and help those in need. It was believed that the work that is done on Saturday is to the detriment of a person and to the benefit evil spirits. People believed that resting on the Sabbath prolongs life. If you work on this day, in this way you can shorten the days of your stay on Earth. If the spouses adhered to the ban, then their life passed without quarrels and problems.

Since Saturday is a men's day in astrology, it is strictly forbidden for men to work, even if the work does not take much effort. In the future, this can lead to a loss of male power, infertility. The man becomes effeminate, cowardly.
