First, a personal request: I would like to take a moment to ask everyone receiving this email/RSS feed for mechilah (forgiveness) for anything hurtful or offensive I wrote, or should have written and did not, in the past year. I know that people's sensitivities are varied, but I am not always as careful as I could be. If there was anything at all, please do let me know. I can grow by learning from my mistakes.
I will be a
guest in someone else's home during the upcoming Yom Tov and Shabbos, and they
will prepare meals for everyone in the home. Should I make my own eruv
tavshilin, or may I rely on their eruv tavshilin?
The rule is
that if someone does not prepare an eruv tavshilin, then others may not cook on
Yom Tov for his Shabbos meal. However, those who are expected to eat their
meals at another person's table are automatically included in the host's eruv
tavshilin.
There are
those who are strict and create their own eruv tavshilin, particularly if they
will be lighting Shabbos candles in their own space. However, because the
obligation is uncertain, they do not recite a berachah.
