The following question was sent by one of the Chabura to Rav Ostroff:
Cracking nuts. I understand the Alter Rebbe [author of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav] in Siman 319:9 is machmir, but I do not understand why?
a) The Alter Rebbe does not mention cracking the nut, only the skin and the green shell. Why do we say the shell is ossur and not mutar?
b) Your explanation on page 41 "since one is able to crack the nut and eat it without peeling he should do so." This implies cracking the nut is mutar?
Rav Ostroff replied:
The Alter Rebbe in the Siddur suggests against cracking nuts because it can lead to borer, not that cracking is always borer, because cracking for now is permitted.
