KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA


For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai ben Shoshana & for the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. One should not speak during a Seuda (meal), even Divrei Torah (words of Torah), to avoid the danger of choking. Even if someone sneezes in the middle of the Seuda, a friend does not say “Bless You.” Today when we do not hold Lehesev (to lay on our left side of the body), we can be lenient in this matter and speak in the middle of the Seuda. Also Talmidei Chachamim (Torah scholars/students) hold to speak during the Seuda, especially to say words of Torah and Halacha on the table. If one heard a Beracha while chewing or while about to swallow the food, he/she should only answer amen in their head (think it) rather than say amen out loud.

2. One should be cautious not to get his/her clothing dirty while eating. It is preferred to eat using a knife and a fork and not eat with two hands, rather only with one (when needed). Also one should not speed up the chewing process when eating and should pause between each chew. One should chew quietly. One should also avoid drinking two full glasses of a beverage one after the other and should not hold a large piece of bread that is disproportionate compared to the others guests/people at the meal. This should also be the behavior in one’s home even alone.

SHAVUA TOV!
