Rabbi Rules on Making Instant Coffee on Shabbat
Rabbi Yigal Cohen, head of the "Yabia Omer" institutions and a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, addressed a common question regarding the observance of Shabbat: whether it is permissible to pour hot water directly onto instant coffee granules and sugar when preparing instant coffee. The rabbi's ruling, part of a daily Halacha (Jewish law) segment, clarifies the permissibility of this action within the framework of Shabbat laws.
While the article does not detail the specific reasoning or ruling provided by Rabbi Cohen, it frames the question as a practical halachic dilemma faced by many observant Jews. The segment is presented as a daily "Halacha Corner" from Rabbi Cohen, indicating a regular feature offering guidance on Jewish law.
