Non-Jewish Driver or Jewish Doctor on Shabbat
Question
A woman who needs to give birth on Shabbat, should she prefer a non-Jewish driver who is not a medic, or is it better to take a Jewish person who is also a doctor, to be ready in case she needs to give birth on the way?
Answer
If there is a concern that she might give birth on the way, take a Jew.
