Description

In this Parsha & Contemporary Halacha shiur for Parshat Baalotecha, w seek to study the permissibility (or the opposite) of travelling in dangerous areas or passing thru certain airports, driving as opposed to walking or using public transportation, taking inoculations that expose one to bacteria, certain medical procedures to improve the quality of life, smoking, these and other situations where one exposes himself to danger. When and why are we permitted to apply the principle of שומר פתאים ה, and rely upon Divine protection?
