Shabbat 47: What Do Clothes Mean to You? Halakhic Subjectivity (in a good way)

First, an unusual use of a biblical verse that we found delightful. Next: Carrying ashes on Shabbat – muktzah, no? Which leads into an important discussion about the value of clothing for the poor and the wealthy. Also, “mi’us” in the text! Plus: the final mishnah of the perek, with a new contraption to accompany the ancient candles that leads to concerns of muktzah (they get resolved, not to worry).
