You're making a salad on Shabbat morning and you
notice some rotten lettuce leaves in your bowl.
Are you allowed to take out the rotten lettuce
leaves from the bowl? One of the Melachot of
Shabbat is the Melacha of Borer, which means
separating a mixture. You're never allowed when
you have a mixture to remove the thing that you do
not want from the mixture. The only way to perfect
a mixture is to do so with three conditions.
Number one, to take the good. Number two,
to do so with your hand. And number three, to do
it only before you're about to use the mixture.
