Question
Work on the Sabbath with a change is exempt. What is the definition of change: a change in relation to the general conduct of the world or a change in relation to the person performing the work personally? Someone who needs to go out on the street with a medical device on the Sabbath, and he carries it with a change, but with that change, he walks all week. In the discussed example, he hangs the device on a ring on his straps. People on the street do not walk like this, but he walks like this all week. Is this considered a change or not?
Answer
Hello
If for this particular device, this is the usual way to carry it, then regarding the device, it is not considered a change, but a regular carrying. For example, most objects that a person hangs on belt loops will be considered carrying with a change. But if he hangs a keychain there, it is considered regular carrying.
