Eating in Measurements on Yom Kippur
Question
Who is permitted to eat in measurements on Yom Kippur?
Answer
On Yom Kippur, it is forbidden by Torah law to eat 'less than a measurement', but a sick person for whom fasting would worsen their illness and pose a danger is permitted to eat in measurements. Similarly, anyone experiencing severe weakness and suffering from dizziness, or seeing black spots, is permitted to drink in measurements.
