Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 4-Is wearing a mask in public dependent on your level of Bitachon

 


Rabbi Kivelevitz encourages Rabbi Bechhofer to share some of the more striking points from a monograph the latter is preparing to publish in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society

Bechhofer ,appropriately in this era of Covid-19, addresses the Jewish Law's perspective on calculated risks for behaviors deemed dangerous by some authorities yet dismissed by others as benign.

Starting with the debate over mask wearing's effectiveness,Rabbi Bechhofer proceeds to offer a new analysis of the Halachic principle Shomer Pesaim Hashem  based on the writings and oral traditions of the Chazon Ish.

    I love the Journal of Halacha and CS, but I thought it had ceased publication?

      Possible the best news I've heard in the last 5 months. Much hatzlacha

    Rav shachter quoted much of this material from the chazon ish at the beginning of the pandemic, https://www.torahweb.org/audio/rsch_031920.html

    But he had a slightly different twist, about dangers that affect the entire community, fascinating.

    Thanks for this post, very interesting!
