Question
Shalom Rav,
In a time of war, what is the halachah if an air-raid siren sounds in the middle of the Seder night while eating the afikoman, and one has to move to the safe room or shelter? Is it permitted to continue eating the afikoman there, in a different place from the table, or must one stop? And what is the law regarding the other parts of the Seder night in the event of a siren and moving to another place?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha,
It is forbidden to continue eating in a different place, because the afikoman may not be eaten in two places (just as the Korban Pesach was not eaten in two places).
The other parts of the Seder may be continued in a different place.
