Rabbijn Simcha Stanton
Food preparation on Shabbat is done differently from the way it is done in the week. For many people, this simply means: no cooking. But actually, even before you are ready to cook, there are several other melachot which can come into play.
For example:
Is it considered separating to remove vegetables from the fridge?
How does one separate cutlery in order to lay the table?
Can one cut vegetables for an (Israeli) salad into very small pieces?
And many more such questions.
Join us as we take a tour through the melachot of separating, grinding and kneading and transform your knowledge of Shabbat.
The course is open for all ages and levels.
