Don't have sex without a condom = do have sex?

Jerusalem Post Listening to Israeli radio stations will be forbidden for religious combat soldiers serving on Navy ships during Shabbat and religious holidays.

According to an instruction publicized Friday in an IDF Rabbinate pamphlet, since a Jew should not benefit from another Jew's Shabbat desecration, religious soldiers who wish to remain alert during Shabbat will be able to turn the radio on before Shabbat commences but only if they tune in to non-Jewish stations.

The new pamphlet is set to be distributed to new naval officers and soldiers participating in naval courses.

The new rules will not apply to secular soldiers who will be able to listen to any station they choose, an IDF source said.

Am I dreaming or what you just read is actually IDF Rabbinate permission to listen to radio during Shabbat in the Navy? :))))

i don't see a contradiction.

you can't do work on shabbat (i.e. turn anything on or off). but you can watch/listen to (anything already on or off).
BUT (a built-in precationary measure)since no jew should benefit from another's shabbat desecration, the stations should not be jewish.

where's the contradiction?

Ключевая фраза: "wish to remain alert". Это забота на уровне פיקוח נפש. Кстати, к водителям это тоже относится: если ты нужно вести машину в шабат, можно слушать радио, чтобы не уснуть за рулем.

Так и так, в рубке круглосуточно работающее радио - повсеместное явление. Равиннат решил вмешаться и ограничить список разрешенных радиостанций. Решение, типичный כסת"ח, выглядит странно, если учесть, что вахта не тянется 25 часов. Что делать религиозному офицеру, если он обнаруживает орущий גלי צה"ל, заступив на дежурство? Переключаться на "радио Рамалла"?
