Question

I placed challahs and a menorah on a chair. The challahs are needed for the Shabbat meal, but they are much cheaper than the menorah. Am I allowed to move the chair with what is on it?

Answer

Ideally, one should place something more valuable than the menorah on the chair, such as expensive jewelry. However, in a case of need, it is permissible to move it by placing challahs needed for Shabbat, and then everything can be moved together to another place.
