Question
I saw that you wrote that one should place an object on the table when eating with one's wife during the days of Niddah. What objects are suitable for this, and can one decide that a cup or a plate will serve as the distinction?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Even an object that is usually on the table, like a cup or a pitcher, can serve as a distinction, provided that it is not used during this meal.
An object that is not usually on the table, such as a kettle, pot, etc., can serve as a distinction, even if it is used during this meal.
