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? :))))

The main problem with watching preset TV on shabbat it that of "Mar'it Ayn" - some infidel can walk by when you are busy having fun and think you have just turned it on.
Additionally, there is a "Syag laTorah" thingy which prevents the Orthodox Jew to generally mess around with Electronic stuff to drive him away from the possibility to sin, and "Isur Hanaa" which forbids to enjoy the products of the sinfull work of TV operators in ShabbatTime (which is quite funny, because technically it forbids the Jew to enjoy any kind of TV and Cinema at all given the huge amount of Hebrews working in the industry, probably including shabbats. A familiar Rav of mine could'nt give me a satisfactory answer to that)

"Mar'it Ayn" - good point - I should have remembered this one.
