This red red on Saturday..

שו”תCategory: HalachaThis red red on Saturday..
asked 5 years ago

Halachic question:
Is it permissible to peel raw beets on Shabbat, cut them, pour salt and oil on them, and eat them?
[It’s delicious and very healthy. You don’t have to cook.]
Is pickling as cooking forbidden?
This is a practical question for me [and perhaps for many] on Saturday.
Why was this question deleted? What is wrong? Or not beautiful or inappropriate about it?
 
I would appreciate the esteemed rabbi’s response, if possible, please.

The question was deleted because it appeared four or five times, the last time with changes and jokes. If you want to ask a question, be specific and explain what you’re asking. And once is enough for me. No need to copy it over and over again. I don’t see what the prohibition is in this. How is it different from any salad? What does it have to do with pickling? Pickling is done in a liquid and for a long time.

Thank you for the answer.
Because I remember that there are things that are forbidden because it is processing. Therefore, oil before salt or something like that…

By the way, maybe a little less than the law… Overall, a problem with Enter. Pressed again and again… and there is no option to delete…
The last question was different…

In the second Nisan of the year 5217, the Magistrate explained that it is forbidden to salt several pieces of vegetables together, but one dips one by one and eats them, and the Shulchan ruled: It is forbidden to salt four or five radish pieces together, because it is like a slaughterer of sheep, and the slaughterer is forbidden because he is like a cook, but one dips one by one, but eggs are permitted to be cooked (Och 2:3),

In the Mab’s commentary, the Shulchan explained: And the same is true for anything that requires salting, such as onions, shallots, and cucumbers [= raw cucumbers]. And from the M, it seems that there is no way to conquer the Sari (Pam”3)’.

And in section 14, he brought the puzzlement of the Aharon concerning our custom of cutting a radish thinly on Shabbat and putting it in a bowl, mixing it, pouring vinegar on it, and eating it. And apparently, is this similar to many pieces of Dasur Madina, even if eaten immediately, and there is no other way but to marinate each one separately?’

And the M”b establishes the custom (A”P T”6 and H”A): :’And it seems that it is because it is not left at all to sweat, but vinegar is poured there, and also other species, not similar to processing. And even more so if you pour oil on it right away – because the oil rusts the power of the salt’.

But I am wondering whether raw beets are similar to a regular vegetable salad, since in other vegetables the salt is only added to flavor, and therefore when you immediately pour oil and vinegar – it is clear that it does not do so to pickle. But in raw beets, which are hard, the salt may also be added to soften, and therefore it is necessary for it to remain in the salt until it softens, and as the Rabbis (ibid.) forbade radishes to remain in the salt until they sweat, and also lettuce that remains in the salt ‘because it waits for the salt to be well absorbed’. And Ch”b.

With regards, Yaron Fish”l Ordner

Paragraph 4, line 3
