Halachos on this and other topics.
1)
A dairy
utensil and a meat utensil that require koshering may be koshered
together in one pot of boiling water, provided that at least one of them
has not been used in over 24 hours. (Shulchan Aruch Orach
Chaim and Mishna Berura Siman 452:2)
Alternatively, if the
volume of water in the koshering pot is sixty times the amount of one of
the utensils they can also be koshered together. (See Mogen
Avraham Siman 452:8 and Pri Megadim, Aishel Avraham, 452:8. See also
Mishna Berura 452:18 and Kaf HaChaim 452:37)
2) If both the meat and the
dairy utensils were used within 24 hours and the volume of water is not
more than sixty times at least one of the utensils both of the utensils
remain non kosher. (For Sephardic Jews the utensils do not
become prohibited, B'dieved. See Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim Siman 452:2
and Yoreh Deah Siman 95:3)
Moreover, in the
aforementioned case, the prohibition against cooking meat and dairy will
be transgressed by placing both of these recently used utensils into a
pot with less than an adequate volume of water.(See Rama Yoreh
Deah Siman 95:3 and Levush Orach Chaim 452:2. This only applies if
animal meat was cooked in the [Kli Rishon] pot, and not if just chicken
was cooked in the pot, as detailed in Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman

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.
You wrote :"If one is invited to a wedding at a
time when they are observing Sefira, while the one making the wedding
observes the "other half" of Sefira and is thus permitted to make a
wedding, he/she may attend the wedding, listen to the music and even
participate in the dancing. (See Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 2
Siman 95)"
I have heard that even though it is
permitted to attend the wedding, dancing is only permitted when the
Chosson and Kallah are in the simcha hall and not during the time
photographs are being taken.
In
that case, is it also correct that one should not listen to the live
music during the time when the Chosson and Kallah are not in the simcha
hall?
Answer:
Although I havent seen that, it does indeed make
sense to only allow dancing when it will be Mesameach the Choson/Kallah,
which is when they are in the room.
However, there is no need for you
to leave the room while the music is playing, even if they arent in the
room, as you are permitted to be at that wedding, no matter what is
taking place at that time in the room.
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 )
