Challah Board with the Text of a Verse
Question
Is it permitted to use a glass board on which a verse is written as a board for cutting Shabbat challot (pareve bread), when the challot are placed on it and also cut on it?
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
In the usual case, the verse is not written as a quotation, but rather as an allusive phrase, indicating that this item was made in honor of Shabbat. In such a case, it has no sanctity.
However, if it was written as a quotation, for example if the text of the blessing or the text of Kiddush was written there, it does have sanctity, and it is forbidden to place anything on it.
