Question
I am on vacation in an apartment abroad, and the light in the refrigerator cannot be turned off, and every time the door is opened, it turns on. What can I do on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Leave the door slightly open for the entire Shabbat. If it gets closed or someone forgets and closes it, ask a non-Jew to open it for you.
