Question
Is it permissible to move pots from place to place inside the house during the Shemitah year, and are there differences between locations, and is there any advice to make it permissible?
Answer
A perforated pot inside the house should not be lowered from the table to the floor because it increases its nourishment, nor should it be lowered from the windowsill to the floor [but it is permissible to raise it from the floor to the table as this reduces the power of nourishment]. The advice for moving a perforated pot during the Shemitah year is to place it on a rigid plastic surface before the Shemitah, and then it can be moved during the seventh year and transferred from place to place inside the house while holding the surface underneath it at all times – even while transferring, but this should not be done outside the house.
