- Q. On Asarah Beteveth
on Friday this year can one preparing the food for Shabbat on Friday,
taste it without swallowing, to see if it is well prepared? Do you
then make a bracha?
On a
similar question (429) we wrote:
A.
Remoh (O.H. 567: 1) rules that on a communal fasting day one should
not taste the food without swallowing. Mishna Berura (ibid. 6)
however permits when someone is preparing a mitzvah banquet, to taste
a tiny bit, without swallowing any, to ascertain that it is salted
and flavored properly. (See also Pri Megodim 250: 1 and Piskey
Teshuvos ibid.)
Horav
Shlomo Millers’s Shlit’a opinion is that if it is necessary to
taste the food l’kvod Shabbos as above, you may do so, yet don’t
make a brocho.
