General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: There's a teacher on CNN who says her belief in Judaism prevents her from being vaccinated [View all]moriah
(8,312 posts)I'll see if I can find a video that will have the full clip, cuz I wanna hear why she's saying this.
Now, I'm not Jewish. I only have surface knowledge of the beliefs and traditions.
But I'm unaware of any law in the Torah that would prohibit vaccination. In fact, as far as I know, almost every single law in the Torah that must be observed are thrown aside if necessary to save a life/save lives in general. The laws given by the God of Israel were to live by, not to die by (again, to the best of my knowledge).
So I would think it would be a good deed to get vaccinated, at least to most of the Jewish population in America if they were going by that law to save lives.
I want to know just what her twist is that says she can't, or if she's just a nutjob.
