===Separating Cards=== | |||
#Separating cards as part of a game, such as where one removes an undesired card, is a question of borer.<ref>Rav Asher Weiss Shabbat p. 327 writes several reasons why it could be allowed to separate cards in order to play cards but concludes that one shouldn't rely on them since they not brought in the earlier poskim. His reasons are perhaps one uses all of the cards equally, so it is considered one type (Rama 319:3). Also, the purpose of the separating isn't to accomplish anything since it is purely a game. Lastly, the cards aren't a food and some say that there isn't borer on non-foods (see Maharshag 1:54, 57).</ref> Some permit it.<ref>Avnei Yishpeh 8:74 based on Rama 319:3 since all of the cards are considered like one type of item.</ref> | |||
