The story · English
In a short daily halachic video segment on Kikar HaShabbat, Rabbi Benyamin Huta addresses a practical Shabbat question about muktzeh: whether a watch that is still running but not set to the correct time may be handled on Shabbat.
The item is part of the outlet’s “Halacha in 60 Seconds” series, a brief morning feature that explains laws and customs in a concise, topical format. The current entry focuses on the rules of muktzeh on Shabbat, using the watch scenario as the day’s example.
The article does not provide the ruling in text, but directs readers and viewers to the accompanying video at the top of the piece for the full halachic explanation.
