Can One Take Pain Killers Right Before Shabbos? Laws of Yom Tov 22-13 https://youtu.be/z8dIEL7cSYg Preparation for Shabbat often involves careful planning to ensure we can fully enjoy the holiness of the day. One common concern that arises among many individuals involves managing physical discomfort, such as headaches, that might otherwise disrupt one's focus during the sacred time of Shabbat or during our communal fast days. It is a practical and relevant question: is it permissible to take medication, such as painkillers, as the onset of the day approaches? Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner addresses this query with clarity, offering guidance on the halachic permissibility of taking necessary medication right up until the very last moments before the start of Shabbat. He emphasizes that there is no restriction against taking a pill, even if it is only a minute before the time of lighting candles or the official start of the day. By planning ahead, one can alleviate potential suffering and ensure a more peaceful and spiritually focused experience. Beyond the immediate answer, Rabbi Lerner shares a valuable tip regarding the use of time-release capsules, particularly useful for those who suffer from caffeine withdrawal headaches during fast days. This practical advice aims to help members of the community navigate these days with greater ease. But how exactly should one approach the timing of these preparations to ensure they remain fully compliant while avoiding unnecessary pain? - - - - - BeEzrat HaShem Learn with Lerner LevLeib@BeEzratHaShem.org Join our FREE online classes every Monday to Thursday night: +1 201-725-3444 | JEW, BE, HOLY | - - - - - Textbook for the Shiur: The Laws of Yom Tov https://www.artscroll.com/Books/9781578191628.html Full Lecture: Smoking and Carrying on Yom Tov - Laws of Yom Tov (22) https://youtu.be/W7tJ4pDE9fQ ———————— #Shabbos #Shabbat #Sabbath #Melachos #Melachot #Melachah #JewishFasting #Fasting #TakePainKillersBeforeShabbos #JewishFasts #JewishFastDay #Halachah #Halachot #Halachos #Halachah #JewishLaw #Torah #Mitzvah #Mitzvot #Mitzvos #JewishValue #JewishHashkafa #Halachos #Halachot #BeezratHashem #RabbiLevLeibLerner #RabbiLerner #LearnWithLerner #BeezratHashemLearnWithLerner #BeezratHashemHalachot #BeezratHashemHalachos #LevLeibLerner #LevLerner #RabbiLevLerner
