I am finishing a degree in nursing in Tel Hashomer. I would like to continue and work there, however I have a lot of questions about the halachic implications, specifically regarding Shabbos. Do you have resources – audio shiurim or a book – that I can use to educate myself on the practical matters of working in Israel in a non-religous hospital? I have a Rav to consult, however I prefer to also be educated myself through reading/learning. The material can be either in English or Hebrew.
Thank you.

The following handbooks by Professor Abraham S. Abraham are useful:
"Halachot for the physician on the Sabbath & Festivals".
"Halachot fir the Patient and Attendant on the Sabbath, Festivals & Yom-Kippur".
The booklets can be ordered from the Schlesinger Institute. Please contact via email: [email protected]
Some chapters of these handbooks are available on the Schlesinger Institute Database.
My chavrus's son is having a Taylor device to lengthen his left leg. He is trying to find out if there are any halachic considerations
האם מצוות מעשר כוללת גם נתינה לגויים? ואם לא האם צדקה שנתתי לסודנים זה לפחות מצווה?
