KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA

Yesterday's Halachot

Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. One should not drink from their own cup and then offer there beverage to a friend because they might be ill and pass on their sickness and because the friend is embarrassed to reject the offer, they will become sick as well. The minhag (custom) is to drink from the Kiddush cup at a host and the host should wipe the cup on the spot where they drank from or pour the wine into another glass in order to avoid embarrassing anyone.

2. We hold not to look at other people or their plates during a seuda (meal) in order to avoid embarrassing the individual who is eating. One should be in an upbeat attitude while eating, whether they have a lot or a little on their plate and think that they are eating in order to be physically healthy and strong to serve Hashem. One should avoid being stringent and tough with an angry attitude, G-d forbid, during meals because they cause the entire home to avoid eating a healthy amount and to eat in fear. The oldest person receives the most respect on the table.

Shavua Tov!
