I’m a member of a Zoom Daf group. Our teacher is a Talmid Chacham that has l’a undergone recently a serious operation and is now hospitalized for an extended time. A few days after the operation he called us and asked us to resume the shiur by zoom as always. He does so from his bed and is obviously in pain. Our question is, should we continue with the shiur now or wait until he is better? What is Horav Miller’s opinion?
You should first consult with his physician if it is not dangerous to continue. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that the Torah teaching will likely be of very great benefit for him not only spiritually but also mentally and physically, since besides the incredibly great mitzva performed, it will also give him a most important and needed satisfaction and hope in difficult times. (See question 3722).
