Question
Hello, Honorable Rabbi, A question regarding theft. I am a state employee, obligated to follow the Takshir instructions (State Service Regulations). The definition of illness in Takshir is "a health condition that takes away work capacity." Over the years of my work, I have accumulated many sick days, trying to use them according to the Takshir definition. However, I am a mother of 5 small children, married to an avrech, and often have to be absent from work to care for the children and necessary tasks. I have already used all my vacation days. From now until the end of the Gregorian year (7 months), any absence is deducted from my salary. I feel that I cannot cope with the burden of life, especially with household tasks, and I need one day of rest from work to take care of household needs. Can I use the sick days I have accumulated once a week, even if it does not currently take away my work capacity, or is it considered theft? And if it is theft, what is the solution to my question?
