why are there different opinions
regarding opening bottles on chabas well
there are two potential problems and
that leads to three huic
positions the first potential problem is
Mak depes which means completing this is
because the cap is a seal until you
unscrew it for the first time at which
point you make it a usable utensil the
second issue is mate cutting something
to size along prescored
guidelines some posts can prohibit
opening any bottle whose cap leaves a
ring around the bottle neck because they
believe that doing so violates one of
these two
malas other post can permit opening all
bottle caps apping that neither Mala is
being violated still other post gim
permit opening plastic bottle caps but
not metal bottle caps and this is
because of a difference in their
manufacturer that results in plastic
bottle caps being useful before opening
but not metal caps please note that
Technologies do change so this
distinction may be in a constant state
of flux for practical guidance in this
matter be sure to ask your own rabbi
