May a Shabbat lamp be placed on a tree before Shabbat to burn there during Shabbat?
Synopsis
Placing a Shabbat lamp on a tree before Shabbat (while still day) is permitted because the lamp becomes muktze and one would not climb the tree to retrieve it, eliminating the concern of using the living tree on Shabbat. On Yom Tov the lamp is not muktze, so the concern remains.
