Concerning work on Shabat I am having a debate with my learning partner about what Tosphot means in Tractate Shabat page 94.
He is convinced that the base level of all work is it needs to be for the subject (the does) and the object (the thing he acts on) except for carrying.
My opinion is that it needs to be for the (1) object alone for all work except for (2) carrying and (3) works that are destructive in order to build. [מקלקל על מנת לתקן]
So the way I see it carrying needs to be for the subject. All other normal types of work need to be for the object. And destructive types need to be for the subject and object both.
I would not bother writing this down except for the fact that I have almost never discovered my learning partner to be wrong about anything.
So I am anxiously waiting for our next learning session.
