Borrer 24 – Peeling vs Dosh 2 (Klal 16 Siman 13) Hilchos Shabbos – S0441

  We are beginning siman 13, where the Chayei Adam discusses whether peeling falls under borrer.   The Chayei Adam writes that the issur of borrer applies to peeling something. Therefore, if one wishes to peel garlic or onion, it will create a problem of borrer. Removing the inedible outer shell of peanuts or almonds

Borrer 23 – Removing a Fly from Soup 2; Pesoles from Pesoles (Klal 16 Siman 10, 12) Hilchos Shabbos – S0440

  We are continuing in siman 12, where the Chayei Adam wrote that if a fly falls into a liquid, one should remove it with some of the liquid. The Chazon Ish explains that the logic behind this halacha is that the entire taroves is removed, so there is no issue of borrer. The Chazon

Borrer 22 – Ochel and Pesoles from Pesoles 2 – Removing a Fly from Soup (Klal 16 Siman 10, 12) Hilchos Shabbos – S0439

  We are continuing in siman 10. We left off with the Chayei Adam’s opinion that if one is concerned the cream will spoil, they could ask a non-Jew to remove it, since inherently it is not borrer because both are edible items. Today, we will clarify this psak.   We have learned that when

Borrer 21 – Ochel and Pesoles from Pesoles (Klal 16 Siman 10) Hilchos Shabbos – S0438

  We are beginning siman 10. The beginning of siman 10 discusses borrer to color. The example given by the Chayei Adam is of coloring mustard in order to make it more yellow. We will skip that part of the siman.   The next part of the siman discusses a person who has milk which

Borrer 20 – Making Coffee 4; Pour Over (Klal 16 Siman 9) Hilchos Shabbos – S0437

  We are continuing siman 9, discussing the halachos of making coffee on Shabbos. Today, we will discuss pour over coffee. This refers to taking a single use coffee filter which is placed in a plastic frame and placed directly over a single cup. There are two potential issues, one being bishul and one being

Borrer 19 – Making Coffee 3 (Klal 16 Siman 9) Hilchos Shabbos – S0436

We are continuing siman 9, discussing the halachos of making coffee on Shabbos. Today, we will discuss cold brew coffee.   One of the ways to make coffee is as a cold brew, in which the coffee grinds are placed in a porous cylindrical filter within a pitcher such that water can cascade around it

Borrer 10 – Proper Amount for a Meal; Pesoles in One Min (Klal 16 Siman 4) Hilchos Shabbos – S0428

We are beginning siman 4. In the first three simanim, we learned the criteria in which borrer will become muttar. In siman 4, the Chayei Adam gives some examples.   The Chayei Adam writes that if one has edible seeds or fruits which some have bugs or have begun to spoil, or if dirt has
