Question
My wife, thank God, is about to give birth. Is it permissible on Shabbat to travel to a hospital that is not the closest one, because she only wants to give birth there and has given birth there in the past?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
There is no permission to travel just because she has given birth there in the past, etc.
However, if familiarity with the place provides her with peace of mind, it is permitted, like any 'settling of the mind'.
