Eruv Tavshilin

ERUV TAVSHILIN

Eruv Tavshilin is a halachic practice that allows cooking food on Yom Tov for use on Shabbat that immediately follows. This should be done on Erev Shavuot, Thursday 5/25.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Take a plate with one whole challah or matzah and either a piece of cooked fish, cooked meat, or a hard-boiled egg

2.  Recite the Beracha and recital below (PDF here)

Eruv_Tavshilin-removebg-preview_edited.p

The Eruv foods may not be eaten before Shabbat. It is a good idea to wrap the matzah/challah and cooked item to separate them from other foods.

NOTE: 

It is only permissible to cook from a pre-existent flame, i.e. one that was lit before Yom Tov.
