How may a protective garment (chaluk) for the circumcised area be brought on Shabbat if not prepared in advance?
Synopsis
The chaluk (a tight cover for the wound) may not be made on Shabbat since it could have been prepared beforehand. Instead, a rag is wrapped around the wound. If no rag is available, it may be wrapped around a finger in the manner of clothing (as a shinui) and brought via another courtyard.
