Eating at the Same Table with a Wife in Niddah
Question
Is there an issue with eating at the same table with my wife during her Niddah days?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Eating at the same table creates closeness, and therefore the sages prohibited eating with one's wife during her Niddah period at the same table. However, it can be permitted by placing an object between them on the table, which serves as a reminder to maintain distance even during a shared meal.
