May one eat bread that a non-Jew baked for himself on Shabbat?
Synopsis
Disputed: some forbid bread baked by a non-Jew on Shabbat due to muktze/nolad concerns (perhaps the wheat was ground that day), while others permit it since the finished product resulted from human action (gamro bidei adam). In cases of need or for a mitzvah, one may rely on the lenient view.
