Rabbi Yigal Cohen, head of the Yabia Omer institutions and a member of the Chief, addressed the question of whether it is permissible to prepare toast on a "platta" (a heated electric plate used in observant Jewish homes) on the Sabbath. The daily Halacha (Jewish law) segment, published on October 26, 2026, focused on Sabbath laws concerning food preparation.
Rabbi Cohen's ruling, presented in the "Bchadrei Chareidim" publication, provides guidance on this specific culinary practice during the Sabbath, a day of rest in Judaism when many forms of work, including cooking and heating food, are prohibited. The article highlights the rabbi's role in interpreting and disseminating Jewish law to the public.
