Question
What is the height of the object that should be placed between the husband and wife when she is in the Niddah period?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The examples given in the poskim are a loaf of bread and a drinking jug, which are tall and noticeable items. Therefore, one should ensure that it is not a low item, such as a cup, and the like. However, when eating with others and it is difficult to place a tall object, one may be lenient with a lower item, such as a watch, a folded napkin, and the like.
