Mincha, Be'ezrat Hashem (with Hashem's help) this week. Gentlemen, there's an issur (prohibition) on Shabbat called Lash. What is Lash? Lash is a Melacha (prohibited labor). It means making a knead. It's kneading. It's taking powder and water or whatever and making it into a batter. That's asur (forbidden).
So here's a question. What about baby formula? The person has Similac, right? And he wants to make baby formula for his kids. Are you allowed to do that on Shabbat or not? Is there a problem of kneading, turning it into a batter?
So, Hacham Ovadia says it's not a problem for a couple of reasons. Number one, first of all, you have to put the water. When you do this, you have to put the water first and then you put the powder. When you do that, it never really becomes a batter. It's a liquid.
What about the moments you do see? Sometimes there are clumps over there; there are clumps. Those clumps are not something that you can eat. It's not effective, and therefore there's absolutely no problem, no problem of making baby formula on Shabbat, provided you put the water first and then the powder. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.
