Going to Synagogue During Menstruation
Question
Hello, I would like to ask if it is permissible to attend all the prayers of Shabbat while on my menstrual period? If it is not allowed, my father expects me to be there at the end of every prayer, and I cannot tell him that I am menstruating and therefore cannot come.... What should I do?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
There is no problem attending the synagogue and praying as usual during menstruation.
One should be careful not to look at the letters of the Torah scroll during the reading or the lifting of the scroll.
Best regards - Benjamin Shmueli
