Amount of Rugelach to Eat
Question
I bought a quantity of small rugelach that have a lot of chocolate. How many do I need to eat for it to be considered establishing a meal, requiring me to wash hands and recite the 'Hamotzi' blessing?
Best regards
Answer
Shalom Rav
One who eats approximately 800 cubic centimeters of them - about three-quarters of a milk bag, is considered to be establishing a meal and is required to wash hands, recite the 'Hamotzi' blessing, and the Grace After Meals.
