What may you use to keep food warm on Shabbat, and when does insulation become prohibited? This practical class explores the Rambam’s laws of hatmanah, the rabbinic safeguards surrounding heat-preserving and heat-increasing materials, and their modern applications. Learn when a hot pot may be covered, when a covering may be replaced, how transferring food to another vessel changes the law, and practical principles for preparing hot tea on Shabbat.
