Does Torah or Halacha affirmatively require a clear plastic table cover? I personally don’t like it, but if it is a mitzvah, then of course it should be used.
It’s not required but is a very important question when making Shidduchim.
If you have another way to keep your white tablecloth stain free go right ahead
What type of table and for what purposes?? Wouldn’t it depend on the material the table is made of (i.e. wood, glass, ceramic etc) and what the table would be used for. Also, if a covering is required, why “plastic” which didn’t exist until modern times so obivously couldn’t have been mandated by the Torah or shulchan aruch etc
It’s not Shabbosdik
to the original poster: are you joking?
“to the original poster: are you joking?”
Why would the OP “joke’ about such a heilege question which CLEARLY falls within the category of יהרג ואל יעבורI use it to upset the environmentalist wack jobs.
It’s not even a minhag. How could it be, as plastic is a recent invention. It is convenient since you can have a nice table cloth for milkig and fleishig, and just change the plastic.
The more important question brought down by chazal is when there is a chiyuv to use clear plastic slip covers on a couch in the living room where these ehrliche menchen will gather before moving to the TABLE ROOM where there is less of a sheilah regarding the obligation to use a clear plastic table cover. Whereas some hold it is OK to use a translucent plastic cover for the table, the slip covers must be totally clear except for the seams where some opacity is OK
