PARSHA QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
HAKHEL
Moshe wrote this Torah and gave it to the Kohanim ... the bearers of the Ark of the
Covenant of G-d, and to all the elders of Israel. And he instructed them saying, at the
end of seven years, at the time of the Shemitta year, on the festival of Succos ... you shall
read this Torah before all of Israel.... Assemble the nation, men women and children ...
that they shall hear and learn.... (Devarim 31:9-12)
This Mitzvah, known to us as Hakhel, is referred to by the Talmud (TB Sotah 41a) as the
Parshas HaMelech, the King's chapter, because it was the King who was given this Mitz-
vah of reading the Torah to the people. Yet if we look here in the Parsha we find no
apparent indication that Moshe is indeed addressing the King. In fact, it seems quite
clear that the Mitzvah is upon the Kohanim. And is it not logical that it would be the
Kohanim - as the spiritual leaders of the Jews - that should have this Mitzvah, rather
than the King? What is the source for the understanding that it is indeed the King's
Mitzvah? And upon whom did this Mitzvah fall in the years before the establishment of
the Jewish monarchy?
HALACHA OF THE WEEK: A FEATURE OF THE BJSZ DAILY HALACHA
FASTING & MEDICATIONS ON YOM KIPPUR
On Yom Kippur it is forbidden to ingest even small amounts of food or drink, including
water. Nevertheless an individual who is dangerously ill, or at risk of becoming dangerously ill if
he/she fasts, is obligated to break the fast in order to preserve their life, Pikuach Nefesh.
One who is not in any danger is generally not allowed to eat or drink at all. In circumstances
where one is at risk of becoming ill, wherever possible specific Halachic guidance should be
sought as to how to eat and drink - little bits at a time - in a manner that will minimize disruption
of the fast. (Rabbi Hauer can provide written instructions. To obtain a copy before the fast,
send an email requesting them to [email protected].)
It is very important to note that the swallowing of a pill in and of itself is often permit-
ted on Yom Kippur even for someone who is not dangerously ill, but is feeling very poorly (e.g. –
debilitating headache). This is true specifically of swallowed pills, not of chewables or of elixirs
and syrups, and only when the pill is being swallowed alone, without the help of water to wash
it down. If the patient needs to wash it down, then it is proper to wash it down with a bitter
liquid, such that is not normally drunk as a beverage. For instance, a person may choose to
wash the pill down with tonic water mixed with regular water, or they may dissolve the pill
slightly in the water, rendering the water bitter before using it to swallow the rest of the
pill. One who is dangerously ill who finds these suggestions impossible, may swallow the pill
with water as usual.
It is important to note that certain medications require the patient to be properly
hydrated, or otherwise risk toxicity or other dangers. Patients taking blood pressure medica-
tions must be especially conscious of hydration concerns. These should be discussed with the
doctor and rabbi before Yom Kippur.
