High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Muktza (Hebrew: מוקצה; also transliterated as Muktzah, Muktsah, Muktsa, Muktzeh, Muqṣah etc.) is a Hebrew word that means "separated," or "set aside." The generally accepted view regarding these items is that they may be touched though not moved during Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) or Yom Tov (Jewish Holiday), some extend this prohibition to the actual handling of these items. Halakha defines various categories of objects or substances which are "set aside" on the Jewish Sabbath, as well as various permissible instances of moving these various Muktza items. For example, one may not handle money, rocks, twigs, etc. on Shabbat, as these items are "Muktza."
