clothing - Plastic gloves in Halacha


If someone touches something while wearing gloves (i.e. waterproof rubber gloves), does that halachically count as touching? Practical examples include:




  • Touching a neveilah, whether or not you become contaminated.




  • Touching a niddah b'derech chibba.





  • A non-Jew touching wine.




  • And more.




Do these constitute "touching" to the extent that a violator would get malkus?
