PERMITTED PROHIBITIONS

[32b top] R’ Shimon: There is no additional prohibition applied on top of an existing prohibition.
R’ Rosner: It seems as if the second punishment does not even exist at all (it is as if it was not even prohibited in the first place).

D-E-ep Thoughts: A specific action is not always universally “wrong” or “right” in Judaism. Physical actions are always defined within spiritual context and intentions. Our material world is literally shaped by the Halachic (Jewish law) world, and not only bends to, but exists only because of the Torah itself.
