Skydiving
Question
Hello, the current reality in Israel is that there are no female skydiving instructors. Is it permitted for a woman to do a skydive with a male instructor? From what you see in videos of skydiving, it looks like they are pretty close together, but perhaps this is defined as being occupied with his work?
Answer
It is good that there are pressing and practical questions here. 🙂
In my opinion, it is permitted, just as one goes to a doctor. And the permission is for two reasons: 1. He is occupied with his work. 2. When floating between heaven and earth, one probably is not really thinking about committing transgressions. But I have never experienced this myself, so I do not know for certain.
