Bread: Difference between revisions

# One should show respect to bread because of it’s importance. Therefore, it’s forbidden to throw bread even if it will not get ruined. <Ref> S”A 171:1. Mishna Brurah 171:9 and Yalkut Yosef ([[Brachot]] pg 156), Halacha Brurah 9:49, Peri Megadim Eshel Avraham 167:38 add that it’s forbidden to throw even if the bread won’t get ruined (if it falls). </ref>

# One may not throw out a [[Kezayit]] of bread into a garbage. However, one should place it in a separate bag and then throw it out. <Ref> Bayit Baruch 54:22, Vezot HaBracha pg 16 rule that one may not throw out a [[Kezayit]] of bread based on S”A 180:4 who says one may not ruin bread the size of [[Kezayit]] by letting water touch it. Rather, Vezot HaBracha quotes Rabbi Yehuda Yisrael Fisher, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Sheinburg, and Rabbi Shalom Elyashiv who say that one should throw it out in a seperate bag. Vezot HaBracha also quotes Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu who says to throw out bread in a plastic bag and then wrap that with paper. </ref>
