Women
Separating Challah During Menstruation and in a Synagogue
Is it permitted for a woman to separate challah during her menstrual period?
Question
Hello, honored rabbi.
Is it permitted for a woman to separate challah during her menstrual period? And is it permitted to separate challah in a synagogue during that time?
Thank you.
Answer
Peace and blessing.
1. It is permitted; indeed, it is a mitzvah, and even an obligation, whenever one makes dough to separate challah, even during the days of menstruation.
2. It is permitted.
With blessing,
Binyamin Shmuali
