Question
Greetings and blessings. I am a resident of Bnei Brak. I have a daughter in a municipal kindergarten located in a temporary structure (caravan) without a bomb shelter. We received a message today that there will be regular studies tomorrow. Is it our duty to send her? What will the children do in case of sirens and rocket interceptions like today? The same applies to the girls in school. Until now, they divided the school so that there be a protected space within quick reach. Now they have returned the entire school and the girl is studying in a temporary structure in the yard far from the building. In case of a siren, the girls will not be able to reach the protected space in time. What to do in such a situation?
Answer
Hello and good tidings.
According to the instructions of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, in places where the risk is low, there is no need to fear missile falls.
Therefore, it is permissible to send the child.
