Obligation to go to the protected room during a siren
Question
Is there a halachic obligation to go to the protected room (mamad) when there is a siren?
Answer
Shalom u-vracha
There is no absolute obligation in this matter.
The instruction of our teacher, Rabbi Amram Fried shlita, is as follows: whoever can easily go to a protected area should do so. But if there is difficulty, such as small children becoming very frightened, having to go out at night while they are sleeping, and the like, there is no need to go out to the protected area.
