    20 Feb KASHRUS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WITH RABBI MOSHE ELEFANT

    Can one use
    very sweet
    cinnamon
    challah for
    lechem mishneh, even
    though it is more like cake
    than bread, and the bracha
    would be mezonot?

    Very sweet cinnamon challah
    is a dessert-like item. When
    eaten alone, the bracha is
    mezonot. However, if you

    use it as the basis of the meal,
    then the bracha is upgraded
    to hamotzi and it may be used
    as lechem mishneh.

    Some people are saying
    that blue eggs are not
    kosher, but I love them.
    According to Rabbi Belsky,
    the issue is not the color of
    the egg, but the kind of bird

    that produces it. If the
    bird is very different than
    a normal chicken and
    produces these eggs, the
    OU does not certify them.
    Can you use a frozen
    challah for lechem
    mishneh at your
    Shabbat meal?
    A frozen challah may be used
    as lechem mishneh, especially
    if the meal lasts long enough
    that the bread could defrost
    and potentially be eaten.
    Can you have the same sink
    for dairy and meat if you’re
    only using cold water?

    Yes. Best to use a dish tub
    (separate ones for milk and
    meat) this way you can use
    hot water. But so long as the
    water stays below 115 degrees
    Fahrenheit (not too hot to
    keep your hands in it even for
    a long time), then it may be
    used for milk and meat.
