Arriving at the Scene of a Terror Attack on the Sabbath
Question
A discussion came up in a certain forum about a minister who is observant of Torah and commandments arriving at the scene of a terror attack on the Sabbath, and also whether he is allowed to give a statement to the media during the Sabbath itself for the public. What is the Rabbi’s opinion on this?
Answer
I do not know how important his arrival is, since I am not familiar with the details or with the structure of the system. If he thinks the handling of the situation will be better when he is there, then of course he should go. Statements to the media seem to me completely unnecessary.
