Description
1) On Shabbos, may one separate the white of an egg from the yolk? [1] 2) A single woman, never married; should she light one or two Shabbos candles? [2] 3) One reason given in Poskim for not reciting the blessing on a new moon on Friday is because of מחוץ לתחום. Please explain:[3] 4) A folding Shtender that has walls all around; may it be set up on Shabbos? [4] 5) When making Havdolo for children on Sunday morning, should one include the brocho on the spices and on the flame?[5] 6) A Jewish man is invited by his non-Jewish daughter to celebrate her birthday by having a picnic in a park, to be held on a Shabbos afternoon. May he partake of the food that she will carry to the park?[6] 7) A Jew is a partner in a distillery and wishes now to obtain a hechsher. It turns out, however, that last Pesach he did not sell his Chomeitz. Any way forward?[7] 8) May one use a faucet on Shabbos that has an under-sink filter?[8] It's a dedicated faucet for drinking (and cooking) water (a small faucet on the side of a sink). The question is for: a) people who under ordinary circumstances would not drink unfiltered/unbottled water (unless there's no other water available); b) where the water might have bugs (subject to the local Rabbinic ruling). 9) We aren’t supposed to count Jewish people. Having a numbered list of names, e.g. a register - is that okay?[9] 10) Feedback on Fench Fries being subject to Bishul Akum; saying HaMapil after Plag. ________________________________________ [1] ראה שו"ע אדה"ז סי' שיט סכ"ב; שבת כהלכה ח"ב סי' י"ב סע"כ.
