Halachos on this and other topics.
1) Sephardic Jews who have utensils
that have been designated and used for one food class, and now want to
Kosher them for use with the other food class, may do so
L'Chatchilah, as soon as the utensils have been unused for a 24 hour
period. (See Pri Chadash Yoreh Deah Siman 97:1, Chida in
Machzik Bracha 509:2 and Aruch HaShulchan Yoreh Deah end of Siman 89 and
Siman 181:11. See also Shu"t Yabia Omer Vol. 3 Yoreh Deah
Siman 4)
For
Sephardim, the utensils may switch back and forth as many times as they
want.
2) Ashkenazim, however,
have the custom to L'Chatchilah not switch utensils from
one food class to another, unless the certain criteria are present,
which we will elaborate on tomorrow B'Ezras Hashem (See Mogen
Avraham Orach Chaim Siman 509:11)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader
Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we
covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give
to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my
own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
I once heard that
there is a mitzvah to own your own wine for kiddush and the daled kosos
my father in law wants to buy me wine, and i want to pay him back...
but he will only accept if Ishow him the source for this do you know
the source for this? I remember the gemara in pesachim about a person
will rather use his own money to do a mitzva and there is an iyan
of "Lachem" by Lulav... but what about Daled kossos?
Answer:
There is a chumrah by Matzah
to make it Lachem, but I do not believe this Chumrah exists by wine for
the 4 Kosos.
Also, even if it does require Lachem,
getting it as a gift suffices to make it your own. (see Halichos Shlomo
Pesach page 206)
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל
יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות
אלא הלכות -
one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in
Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
