Haseba on a chair without a backrest
Question
If on the Seder night I am sitting on the side on a chair without a backrest, how can I correctly fulfill the mitzvah of haseba (reclining)?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
You can turn the chair and lean on the table, and you can also turn the chair so that the backrest is to your left and lean to the side instead of backward.
