What is meant by "eating in portions"?
Question
Hello Rabbi. I received an answer that I need to eat and drink on Yom Kippur in "portions." What does the term "portion" refer to? How often should I eat a portion during the fast? Thank you very much.
Answer
Greetings
You should drink according to your need, no more than 40 ml at once with at least nine minutes between each drink.
You should not eat more than a volume of 30 cm³ at once, approximately the size of a small biscuit, with nine minutes between each eating.
Best regards,
Benjamin Shmueli
