Removing <em>Psolet<\/em> from <em>Okhel<\/em>"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As we have seen, it is considered <em>derekh akhila<\/em> to remove <em>okhel<\/em> from <em>psolet<\/em> in order to eat it immediately. However, removing <em>psolet<\/em> from the <em>okhel<\/em> is a transgression of <em>Borer<\/em>.<sup><a id=\"_ze05ftnref11_4\" class=\"aup1\" href=\"#_ze05ftn11_4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Even when the <em>psolet<\/em> is minimal and it is easier to remove it from the mixture than to remove the <em>okhel<\/em>, removing the <em>psolet<\/em> is still considered <em>Borer<\/em>. For example, if an eggshell falls into egg salad, one may not remove the shell on its own, because one may not remove <em>psolet<\/em> from <em>okhel<\/em>. Rather, one may only remove it together with a little bit of egg. Since the egg removed with the shell is edible, it has value. Since the action is considered separating one form of <em>okhel<\/em> from another, one may do so. Similarly, if a lemon seed falls into a salad, one may not remove the seed on its own, but only together with a bit of salad. (See section 15 below regarding removing a bug from food).<sup><a id=\"_ze05ftnref11_5\" class=\"aup1\" href=\"#_ze05ftn11_5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>If a bunch of grapes contains some good grapes and some rotten ones, one may not remove the rotten grapes. Rather, when he wishes to eat, he should pick out and eat the good grapes.<\/p>\n<p>If one who does not like onions is served a salad with pieces of onions in it, he may not remove the onions from the salad because they are considered <em>psolet<\/em> for him. If he wishes to eat the salad he should eat the parts he likes and leave over the pieces of onion. If there is someone present who is willing to eat his onions, he may take them out for his friend to eat immediately, because then the pieces of onion are considered <em>okhel<\/em> (SSK 3:23-24).<\/p>\n<p>If one who does not like mushrooms is served soup with mushrooms in it, he may not remove the mushrooms from the soup. He also may not remove one mushroom at a time by spooning a little soup together with each one; since he will need to remove many mushrooms, it is obvious that he is really only interested in removing them. This is considered removing <em>psolet<\/em> from <em>okhel<\/em>, thus violating the prohibition of <em>Borer<\/em> (see n. 18 below). But if his friend likes mushrooms and is prepared to eat them immediately, he may remove the mushrooms from his bowl and put them into his friend\u2019s bowl.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<p><a id=\"_ze05ftn11_4\" href=\"#_ze05ftnref11_4\">[4]<\/a>. If one intended to remove <em>okhel<\/em> and accidentally removed <em>psolet<\/em>, he has not transgressed a Torah prohibition, since he did not intend to perform this action. Since the <em>psolet<\/em> is already in his hand, he may simply put it down, separating it from the mixture (SSK ch. 3 n. 11). Others maintain that it is proper to return the <em>psolet<\/em> to the mixture so as not to benefit from the mistake (<em>Menu\u0125at Ahava<\/em> 2:7:9).<a id=\"_ze05ftn11_5\" href=\"#_ze05ftnref11_5\">[5]<\/a>. According to MB (BHL 319:4, s.v. \u201cmi-tokh\u201d), if one takes a little <em>okhel<\/em> together with the <em>psolet<\/em>, he may remove them together. Since he is removing some <em>okhel<\/em> as well, it is not considered removing <em>psolet<\/em> from <em>okhel<\/em>. This is also the ruling of <em>Shevitat Ha-Shabbat<\/em> (<em>Borer<\/em>, <em>Be\u2019er Re\u0125ovot<\/em> \u00a720). However, according to <em>\u0124azon Ish<\/em> O\u0124 \u00a753 and 54:3, if one\u2019s intention is indeed to remove the <em>psolet<\/em>, the small amount of <em>okhel<\/em> removed with it does not help. Based on all the A\u0125aronim who permit removing a bug with a bit of liquid (quoted below in n. 18), it would seem that the <em>halakha<\/em> does not follow <em>\u0124azon Ish<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we have seen, it is considered derekh akhila to remove okhel from psolet in order to eat it immediately.
