– Q. Hello Rav, If I have a bunch of mixed cutlery mixed in a drying rack, my understanding is that I can’t (on Shabbat) choose one randomly and then put it in its place in the drawer and then keep doing that until its all put away. I believe this a classic borrer issue. Correct? However, I’m wondering if this would be permissible on Yom Tov. Thanks.

A. The Borer prohibition applies to Yom Tov in this case as it would during Shabbos, and a similar approach should be used.
