Once we have established what exactly is wrong with using a regular toothbrush and toothpaste on Shabbos, we will try and determine if it is possible to make a “Kosher for Shabbos” toothbrush, and what exactly would be required to make it permissible for use on Shabbos. Potential Issues with A Regular Toothbrush The poskim bring down a number of reasons to explain why using a regular toothbrush and toothpaste is prohibited on Shabbos: 1) Sechita [Squeezing] – Many poskim hold that using a wet toothbrush on Shabbos involves the prohibition of sechita. If one wishes to use water, he should make the following shinuy [change]: He should first fill his mouth with water, and then spit out most of it, leaving only enough moisture to make the teeth and lips damp (tofe’ach al m’nas l’hatfi’ach), then brush with a dry brush. However, he says that if one is careful and fulfils the following conditions: No water, no toothpaste, no risk of bristle breakage (as if the bristles break, the Minchas Shabbos already writes regarding wigs that it’s a problem), no risk of drawing blood, and he uses a special brush designated exclusively for Shabbos then one may be lenient. The American Model The American model was invented by R’ Shmuel Wepper and is marketed by Kosher Innovations — a company known for products such as the Shabbos lamp, shulchan ohr (insect-checking lightbox), Shabbos hotplate, bottle opener for plastic bottles, collapsible cup for washing hands on an airplane, and pre-cut tissues for Shabbos. But where health must be protected and no other option exists, innovations such as these should be encouraged.” The letters from Rav Yehoshua Yeshaya Neuwirth zt”l and from Rav Yisrael HaLevi Belsky zt”l ~6~ The Israeli Model In Eretz Yisrael, a separate model was invented by R’ Michael Harel and is marketed by HighDent. The toothbrush was approved by: Rav Shamai Kehas HaKohen Gross shlita, Moreh Tzedek of Kehillas Machazkei HaDas in Eretz Yis
