The Melachah Of Lash

The Daily Halacha Moment - The Melachah Of Lash


״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)


“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)


Question:

What is the Melachah Of Lash?


Answer:

The melachah of Lash is defined as the act of combining many small parts by adding a liquid in order to create a dough. This was needed in the Mishkan either in order to combine the ground plants that were required for making a dye, or in order to make the dough that was needed for the Lechem Hapanim. The threshold for violating the biblical prohibition of Lash is kneading a gerogeret of flour.[1] Lash can be accomplished by using any sort of liquid, including honey or sap, and not just by adding water to a dry substance.[2] The Toladah of Lash is mixing dry non-edible items with a liquid in order to make a dough-like substance. For example, mixing water with dirt in order to create mud or cement is prohibited.[3]


In order for one to accomplish the melachah of Lash the item that is being mixed with a liquid must be able to combine into one thick substance.[4]
