ANSWERS TO "HOW MANY MISTAKES CAN YOU SPOT?" (VOL 4 ISSUE 1)

Mutti made some serious errors:

1. Squeezing a pomegranate is sechita, a tolda of the melacha of dosh. (כללים מלאכת דש הגדרת האיסור פרק ב', סימן א', סעיף ב')
2. Scrubbing the stain on his shirt with a wet shmatte is problematic because he is squeezing water from the shmatte, also forbidden due to sechita. (כללים מלאכת דש הגדרת האיסור פרק ב', סימן ג', סעיף א')
3. Cleaning the stain on his shirt with even a small amount of liquid is the melacha of laundering, melabein. (כללים מלאכת מלבן הגדרת האיסור פרק ב', סימן א', סעיף ג')
4. Finally, pouring the juice into the seltzer, while not strictly forbidden, should be avoided due to the concern of tzoveya, dyeing. While some say there is no tzoveya for food, others are more machmir. The sha'ala is best avoided by first putting the colorant in the cup (in this case, the juice) and then adding the liquid afterwards, as this is a reversal of the usual order.
