Question
A parochet that fell on Shabbat, is it permissible to return it to its place on Shabbat?
Answer
A parochet from the Ark that fell on Shabbat may be returned to its place on Shabbat. According to the Chazon Ish, if it is customary to replace it every short period [for example, if there are several parochets for the synagogue and they are replaced every short period], it is permissible to return it on Shabbat. However, if it is the permanent parochet of the synagogue and is only replaced on holidays, it is prohibited to return it on Shabbat because it is for a long duration.
