Prohibitions for Sabbath and Yom- tov. It must be stressed however, the Rambam's opinion is that these Secular Prohibitions are not the same as the group of Prohibitions that is termed by commentators such as Rashi and the Ran" Ovadin De'chol" Prohibitions, and are not tied to Prohibitions there were forbidden by the phrase

." כדשע"ב"

E. Summary of the opinions of the Rishonim in our discussion

1. The Rambam does not recognize the" Ovadin De'chol" category of Prohibitions. He is of the opinion that there is only one category of" Shevut" Prohibitions, this category includes Prohibitions that were instituted by the rabbis based on the 39 Melachot and their derivatives. There is a group of acts, among the acts that were prohibited, which are prohibited only if they are performed in a weekday manner and were permitted if they are performed with a" change". He also feels that there is an additional group of Prohibitions( that were not prohibited by the Torah and are included in the" Shevut" Prohibitions), and are termed" Mimtzo cheftzecha" Prohibitions. This category, in his opinion, includes different" secular" Prohibitions, such as speaking about weekday business etc., however- and this is of paramount importance for us those Prohibitions that were formulated in the Tannaitic and Amoraic sources with the phrase" 1" у" are not included in this category. These were included in the ordinary" Shevut" Prohibitions based on the" NW NITII”.

According to the Ran( whose approach is presented because of its clarity, althought he was preceded in this by Rashi and Tosafot). The category of" Shevut" Prohibitions are rabbinic. The category of" Ovadin De'chol" is separate and less stringent, to be more precise, it would seem to be a category of permissible acts that require the performer to do them with a" Shinui".
