When no non-Jew is present, how does one carry a purse on one's donkey without violating the prohibition of machmer (driving a laden animal)?
Synopsis
When no non-Jew is present, the traveler must place the purse on the donkey while it is already walking and remove it before the animal stops, to avoid both the prohibition of machmer and shevisas beheima. Authorities dispute whether one must also refrain from verbally urging the animal.
