Question
Hello, Honorable Rabbi, I am with my wife in a cabin, and she is in her niddah period. We currently have nothing to place on the table to separate us except for the utensils we are eating with. What is the solution?
Answer
Hello,
The utensils and food you are using during this meal do not count as a sufficient separation. However, you can place a paper napkin, tablecloth, or towel under one of the plates, and this will serve as a sufficient separation during the meal.
