Description

In this special VIDEO presentation, the Poskim for OU Kashruth, HaRav Chaim Yisroel Belsky, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, Brooklyn, NY, and HaRav Herschel Schachter, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchanon, New York, answer YOUR questions about Jewish medical ethics. They address such issues as: Do medicines have kashrus issues? Can one break Shabbos for a broken limb? Can a Kohen perform CPR on someone who's clinically dead? Is being sick always a call to repent? Are there sick people for whose death one should pray? Tune in, and be enlightened by two of the great sages of our generation. A segment of the webcast was devoted to questions raised by the catastrophic devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy.
