Tablecloths

Hi,

The part of a tablecloth which is not beneath the candlesticks is not considered a basis l'davar ha'assur, and one may handle it and shift it on Shabbat.

It is not entirely clear that the part of the tablecloth that is under the tablecloths becomes a basis, either, and this may be grounds for leniency in cases of need. Please consult a competent authority.

(Shemirat Shabbat k'Hilchatah 20:60)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
