Question

What is the ruling regarding a YouTube video of a lecture that is heard from the lecturer to have been made on Shabbat? Regarding watching the video.

Answer

Hello,

If the lecturer is not Jewish and it was made for non-Jews, it is permitted in any case.

If the lecturer is Jewish - if it is not for payment and the video was not made for this Israeli, it is permitted.
