Bishul versus cooking The eleventh prohibited activity is called bishul and is best translated as cooking.

During Shabbat , the Oral Torah directly prohibits Activities prohibited on Shabbat thirty nine activities . Some additional activities, such as driving on Shabbat driving , are disallowed because they involve violating one or more of these restrictions. But rabbinical authorities, especially those recorded in the Talmud , have gone beyond these thirty nine activities and decreed additional prohibitions because they either are not in the spirit of Shabbat, closely resemble a restricted activity, or else are at a very high risk of causing one to violate the Shabbat. In some cases, the activity is banned because it is likely to be breaking Shabbat, but authorities are uncertain. In particular, the Orthodox Judaism Orthodox movement is careful about following such restrictions. Muktzah Main Muktzah Certain items may not be touched, moved or eaten on Shabbat because they are classified as Muktzah off limits . Reasons for items being considered muktzah include their main use being a violation of Shabbat, the act of moving them risking a Shabbat violation, or if they were produced during Shabbat in violation of Shabbat.
