Organizing Toys Can Be Forbidden On Shabbos
- Sorting toys by color or shape after play counts as borer and is prohibited on Shabbos unless done for immediate use.
- Immediate use requires selecting by hand without a separating utensil and intent to use now.
Only Separate For Immediate Play
- If you separate pieces to start a game immediately, it's permitted as borer for immediate use.
- Only perform the separation when you intend to use the selected items right away.
Mixture Depends On Size And Placement
- Whether items form a mixture depends on size and spatial relationship, not merely messiness.
- Distinct piles or non-touching items may not be a halachic mixture even if the room looks chaotic.
