Freezing Water or Juice on Shabbat

Question

Hello, is it permissible on Shabbat to put water into the freezer so that it will become ice? And is it permissible to put a cup with juice (pareve) and a stick into the freezer in order to make a popsicle?

Answer

Shalom u’verachah 

The ruling of our teacher, Rabbi Amram Fried shlita: It is permissible to freeze water or other beverages on Shabbat. This does not involve either the prohibition of “Boneh” or of “Molid.”
