Drumming on table, dabbing cream, Al Hagafen for Havdalah
Question: [Sunday 9th Iyar 5780]
- If beating on a table to make sounds is asur on Shabbos, what is the source?
- Is dabbing a product called aquafor on a baby on Shabbos is asur and what is source?
- If one recited Hagafen on wine for havdala and then started Melava Malka is it too late to say mein shalosh on hagefen of Havdala?
Answer:
1) Beating on a table: Is forbidden to be done in the form of a rhythm as explained Shulchan Aruch chapter 339. One may bang on the table to get ones attention. See here for the full details of this matter: https://shulchanaruchharav.com/halacha/clapping-dancing-and-snapping/
2) Dabbing Aquaphor: Is permitted on a baby if it is dabbed and not smeared. See here for the full details of this matter: https://shulchanaruchharav.com/halacha/smearing-on-skin/
3) Al Hagafen for Havdallah: Al Hagafen must be said so long as you remember before Birchas Hamazon and within Shiur Ikkul [not too much time has passed]. See Admur 174:6; Seder 4:11; Ketzos Hashulchan 31:1. However, if you planned on washing for bread right after Havdallah and planned to also drink wine during the meal, then it is not said at all, even before washing.
