Got Confused and Ate… What Is the Ruling?
Question
If you cannot see the image, click here
A rabbi who is also a medical doctor published a series of guidelines.
One of them was that someone who was vaccinated, but for whom two weeks had not yet passed since the second dose, should eat.
I did as he instructed and ate a full meal and drank a few gulps.
Suddenly at noon they reminded me in Bnei Brak that I had made a mistake in the calculation, and almost three weeks had already passed.
Do I need to repent?
Respectfully, a descendant of Yuval HaMevulbal.
Answer
Hopefully this is not a troll, but for an inadvertent violation of a custom that is not even a rabbinic prohibition, there is no need to repent.
At this point it really is Purim-like Yom Kippur for me.
More power to you.
