The Daily Halacha Moment - Salt Shaker With Rice & Borer 🍚
״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)
“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one have a salt shaker with rice in it on Shabbat?
Answer:
It is common to place grains of rice in a saltshaker to prevent a buildup of moisture that causes the salt to clump. On Shabbat, according to the Sephardic poskim it is permitted to use the saltshaker even though there are grains of rice inside of it that will be held back (i.e., pesolet removed from ochel), since the saltshaker is neither a utensil that is meant for Borer, nor does one have explicit intention to perform the melachah of Borer by pouring the salt. [1] Some Ashkenazim are stringent and don’t use such a salt shaker on Shabbat, one should follow one’s custom. [2]
