Why is it It is forbidden to fold a garment on Shabbat along its preexisting creases?
|
In the Code of Jewish Law (Orach Chaim 302) it is explained that this prohibition is because folding clothes on Shabbat has the appearance of "fixing a utensil." I.e. the unfolded garment is considered somewhat "broken," and folding it nicely is akin to fixing it.
