Learning while I cook or cooking while I learn?

The Rav Name: Rabbis of the Da’at Institute

Is it ok to listen to the daily torah study while doing something around the house like cooking as long as you still listen to and observe it?

If the property is a rented one, there is grave doubt and many authorities will not permit the use of it. If the property has been purchased and is totally under ownership of the synagogue, some authorities lean towards forbidding its use, others lean towards permitting it. If the previous structure has been destroyed and a new one built, it is permissible without doubt to use it. At the very least, it should be very obvious to anyone looking at it that it has no connection whatsoever to its former use.
