שאלה:
What do I do with the piece of challah that I separated from the dough? Do I specifically have to burn it, or can I wrap it in a bag and throw it in the garbage?
תשובה:
Nowadays, when everyone is tamei, the challah is tamei as well, and it is a mitzvah to burn challah that is tamei. If you are unable to burn the challah, or it is very difficult for you to do so, you should bury it or throw it in the garbage in a respectful way, such as by wrapping it in a bag first. It should not be left around, so that it will not inadvertently get mixed up with other dough and eaten.What do I do with the piece of challah that I separated from the dough?
