Question
Hello, I would appreciate examples of how much a 'kebeitza' is, up to which amount is permissible to eat before the shofar blowing. I would appreciate an example of how much this is in bread (a slice, half a slice...) and how much it is in baked goods (2 cookies or 3, etc.). Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello
The measure of 'kebeitza' is between 55 cc, according to the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Naeh, to 100 cc according to the Chazon Ish.
A slice of bread is 100 - 120 cc.
Biscuits - it depends on the brand, it's between 5 to 6 units.
A small rugelach is 100 cc. There is a significant difference between brands.
The easiest way is to calculate by half the volume of a disposable cup for hot drinks.
