Tishrei for Medical Professionals: Fasting — Considerations for Clinicians, Patients and New Mothers
This is part three of a four-part series for medical professionals.
One of the frequently-encountered inquiries in the realm of healthcare during the High Holiday season pertains to identifying individuals obligated to observe fasting. A healthcare provider might be approached for guidance concerning fasting, and in collaboration with a Rabbinic authority, a determination can be reached. When it comes to individuals with medical conditions or new mothers in the early post-partum period, there's often a query about the extent of their permissible food consumption.
