חילול שבת בצבא בין בן תורה לעם הארץ

From: Rabbi Mordechai Leib Winkler

To: Rabbi Natan Frankfurter

Description

The responsum addresses a case where a Torah scholar drafted into the army is forced to write on Shabbat as part of his duties, and there is also an unlearned person (Am Ha'aretz) available for the same task; the question is who should perform the forbidden labor.
