Question
Is it permissible to study literature on Shabbat: 1. Literature about a story in the Gemara, for example, the story of Hillel who went up to the roof. 2. Just a passage about the Holocaust or anything else that is not sacred.
Answer
Hello,
A story in the Gemara is permissible.
Literature on other topics is permissible according to the law, but a God-fearing person will be stringent.
