- Q. I’am a mother and B’H I have several young children. For serving my children on Tisha Beav fasting day, can I just taste a bit of the food and then spit it out, just to see if it is not too salty or too sweet?
A. Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit’a suggested that it is better if the children taste a bit of it, and then you go ahead and feed them as required.
