Holidays
Laws for Children on Yom Kippur
Question
With Hashem's help, hello to the honored rabbi.
I have several questions:
1. Is it permitted on Yom Kippur to put together a puzzle or Lego with a child?
2. To bathe him?
3. To read a book to him?
4. I am fully breastfeeding. If I suddenly feel that no milk is coming out, is it permitted to drink in small measured amounts?
5. On Monday I underwent a root canal and I still have pain that comes and goes. Is it permitted to take Acamol on Yom Kippur? With or without water?
Thank you, and may you be sealed for a good year.
Answer
Hello and blessings.
1. As on Shabbat.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. Increase your drinking already from today and, with Hashem's help, you will not be lacking, or if you do still lack, it is permitted as you wrote.
5. Yes, without water.
With blessings,
Binyamin Shmueli
