The following question was sent by one of the Chabura to Rav Ostroff:
If my childen's toys are strewn about the room, and the different toys have their designated place, are these toys considered a mixture?
Rav Ostroff replied:
Yes they are.
Usually the toys are not in a pile, which from what we have learned would make it OK to separate them. However, when looking at the messy room from a distance, the haphazard toys are all jumbled up. I was wondering if this would constitute a mixture, or because when looking closer they are really separate?
Even though they are separate, they are a mixture. My friend Rav Chanan Cohen (an expert in borer) says that when you have a platter with assorted cakes that are placed haphazardly on the tray, not in order, and you sort them out, type by type, even though they are not touching, it is borer.
