Eating without a table with a wife in a state of Niddah
Question
Shalom Rav,
When sitting with my wife on a bench in the garden to eat while she is in a state of Niddah, is a separation required between us?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The poskim who discussed the need for a sign or separation between a husband and his wife in a state of Niddah during meals specifically referred to eating at the same table. Therefore, when not eating at a table, no sign is required.
