The Melachah Of Meraked

The Daily Halacha Moment - The Melachah Of Meraked 🌾

״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 Meraked?

Answer:

Meraked is the prohibition of sifting. Flour was needed to be sifted to remove any remaining impurities in the process of making Lechem haPanim daily. In terms of constructing the Beit HaMikdash, sifting was also done to make dyes, by sifting the ground herb powder before mixing it with water to make the dye.

That being said, It is prohibited to sift flour from impurities with a sieve, sand from stones, or even ground matzah from the larger pieces. [1]
