A r c h i v e s| Halacha - Shabbat | | Submitted by Sholom Cohn Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: | | Answer:
Using these adhesive book marks on Shabbos would be questionable. On the one hand, since the adhesive is relatively weak and not designed to remain permanently and their normal usage is to frequently detach and reattach them, they might appear to be permitted similar to the tabs on disposable diapers. However, since it would be common to sometimes leave them in place for an extended period of time, there is reason to draw a distinction, and they should not be used.

| Halacha - kosher not mevushal wine | | Submitted by renee reinharz Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: | | Answer:
I'm afraid that it is difficult for me explain, you should ask the Rav who said it. If the wines truly have a fine Hechsher and will be consumed in a controlled environment, I see no problem with their non-Mevushal status.

| Halacha - kashrus of cut lime in drink | | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: | | Answer: I would advise not drinking it. Assuming a lime is considered "charif", the knife very likely was washed in hot water together with non-Kosher items, and possibly used to cut non-Kosher food, in the past. Even though more than 24 hours may have passed, cutting a sharp food is still forbidden.

The pot is also permitted; even though it receives fresh Milchig flavor, by the time it reaches the pot is is already nat bar nat (2 steps removed) and doe snot become forbidden. Rama YD 95:3

| Halacha - 9 days | | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: | Answer: First of all, Mazal Tov on the upcoming Simcha.
If there will not be enough time to buy them afterwards, they may even be purchased during the week of Tisha b'Av, as per the Rema. The same would apply to the dry cleaners, though I would suspect that there is enough time during the two weeks after Tisha b'Av, in which case there is no Heter.
Even if the issue is only saving money, the Mishna Berura writes that this too is sufficient grounds to permit purchasing items.
