Kli Shemelachto Leheter, and Kli Shemelacho Le'isur

Sponsored by the Aharonoff family in memory of Sarah bat Yocheved. May her neshama be elevated and may she be a heavenly advocate on our behalf. 

With regards to muktzeh, vessels can be divided into one of two categories. The first is a vessel who's main function is for an action that is permitted on Shabbat. Take for example, a spoon. A spoon is made for eating, which is obviously permitted on Shabbat. The other category is a vessel who's intended function is not permissible on Shabbat. For example, a hammer. Hammers are made for building or repairing which is not permitted on Shabbat. These categories are called "kli shemelachto leheter," and "kli shemelachto le'isur," respectively. Kli shemelachto leheter is a vessel made for a permitted function. Kli shemelachto le'isur is a vessel made for a function that is forbidden on Shabbat.
