on issues relating to fertility there
are a lot of fertility related issues
that come up on shabas um injections and
other things and uh and and the
whitesman is uniquely qualified to be
able to deal with these issues and to
and to to answer these Shas and to tell
you what all the gim have to say about
these Shas because he spoken to them uh
personally um so uh again as I mentioned
to the previous group that uh more than
than than just I it would be important
enough to hear this year and to be able
to uh to learn about these issues um but
even more important is to be able to
learn who who R Whitman is who is so
that you'll know where the address is
when these uh when these questions
inevitably come up anyone is going into
r as I said yesterday anybody who's ever
going to have that asks some questions
are going to have to uh is going to have
to deal with uh with fertility related
uh related questions it's something
that's a very very very very common
thing nowadays and uh and we're very
privileged to have one of the world's
experts here with us this
[Music]
morning you forgive me from reading from
the computer I'm sorry thank you very
mucht um
for asking me to to speak to this uh
very very mad uh
following
says know the already says
USB says you can't do any
Shabbat if the I came out then we're
allowed to do certain things on Shabbat
so the
says so we'll explain in
this which
is
says the person who has a pain
discomfort shouldn't put on oil or
vinegar since it's
we say it's to do anything
onab it's clear that someone's who's
who's ill we
know
ask what about another
category we
said
says the eye is out it's it's a
it's that it's that it's it's we're
worried that they're going to lose the
use of the ey or we're going to limit
the use of the
ey so
that see we see that
someone who's
[Music]
sick so when a person is sick even if
they're not in danger prison is in
danger even in
danger what does it mean says the the
tells us that you're not allow to do any
you
a lot of
things so what is it talking
about someone has a sum
discomfort and he's walking around
happy or at least
then you're not allowed to do anything
then it's that's what the means that he
says
others to suggest there are four if we
listen carefully there are four
categories
of that's the most severe that allow to
do anything go
the least is
what's already
said it's someone that's
um he's walking around he seems to be
okay it's okay he's
got how do we Define that we'll get that
in the moment and there's two in between
categories mean someone who's got a
danger to a limb how do we find danger
moment and what does mean what is the
category of what does it mean what's the
definition how do we def find that
yes can't do normal activities like play
the
piano you know the guy the guy comes he
goes to an operation he comes out and he
says to the do doctor says you'll be
fine he say will I will I be able to
play the piano doctor says yes he says
it's wonderful because I couldn't play
the piano before so that's is that
considered to be that's the
so so one is one you say is you can't do
normal activities what else anybody else
another definition a it's a common it's
a it's An Occurrence we have every
single Shabbat every single Shabbat you
have a question about what is it we
don't even know what it is
yes staying in
bed what does that
mean so we have a very very important
category
says brings it in remember it's a long
if you didn't see you
see that he has a long description of
the other of the passible
permutation as to what you're allowed to
do we're not going to get into that
because it's not that relevant for our
discussion today we never Define
what so
says there in
in says
[Applause]
sorry it
comes there's no
shabb not but you already know whether
it's we do whatever it needs
who defines
what
what's I'm in the middle of writing my
PhD on that what's how do we Define om
in a place in which there was no medical
training who decides who's in a place in
which there was no medical schools and
nobody went to medical school we
mentioned
before in in the previous year that he
says he says it about
you have to go and ask doctors which
doctors did they ask so in no there were
11 people that that were in in two of
them had any sort of Medical Training
they never went to medical school none
of them and that's
what what
[Applause]
it's a they need we don't
know then what do you
do have there's a limit to what's a
there's a limit to
what's let's imagine that I would
say so every Shabbat I'm gonna go to the
beach why because there's a chance that
on this Shabbat somebody Dr and I know
how to save their life so since it's a
it's G me to go to the beach every week
that's clearly not understand so there
has to be some sort of level of
sa speaks about that when he explains
that the
the why are you allowed to to to save
when you're not allowed to save him
what's the limit
of says
[Applause]
know so let's imagine so that's a very
nice interesting idea we came all the
way from to tell you that you can hear
from the you can actually open up on the
Shelf how does this relate to
fertility so is there a case in
fertility there's potentially
lifethreatening
so the truth is the fertility of itself
we'll speak about in a moment in Greater
detail is elective there's no there's no
there's no there's no danger that a
person is in that are needed to have
treatment elective it's something that
you choose however within treatment what
we do for all fertility treatment it
doesn't matter whether it's IVF IUI or
whatever you're doing or even basically
ovulation stimulation of induction is we
give
hormones that's what what with just a
little bit of biology is that the the
brain sends a message epma sends a
message to the gonads in the case of a
woman
ovaries to produce eggs that is given
that's a hormone hormones of messages
that come from the brain through the
blood as opposed to messages that come
like here I feel that clapping I can
feel on my hands that comes through my
that's not a hormone that comes through
my nervous system but the hormones are
the changes so I see people in this room
have beards in fact you have beards is a
because you're you have testosterone
that's a hormone that comes to your body
that enables you to grow bit that's
that's that says you're a male okay so
hormone say a hormone that comes called
follicle stimulating hormone when the
body responds to that when the ovary
responds to that there's an uptake that
says enough we got enough FSH thank you
very much we're
good what if the body doesn't respond to
that then the brain produces more and
more FSH so we give hormones that are
either FSH either follicle stimulating
hormones
or lower level CH citrate which is stops
that uptake which says we're going to
break that message and therefore the
body doesn't know that they've got
enough so it keeps producing more FSH
what's the problem with that the problem
with that is that we can cause hyper
stimulation I'll just read you quickly
hypers
stimulation is an ex I just read what I
R from from my notes Here is an
exaggerated response to excess hormones
generally what happens when I give
hormones is the body creates what's
called super ovulation
ovulation is to respond to one
egg superovulation is to is to the body
releases more than one egg it can be
one it could be two we had a woman this
week one of my ranim we have was was
established 30 years ago in founded by
bin and uh today we have 15 ranim in in
y five women who councel 50 we have 80
women on a hotline in the evening for
more uh intimacy questions personal
questions we have two rabim here in
North America one in New York and one in
Los Angeles we have two raban in Mexico
we have a presence in Paris and we have
daughter organizations South Africa and
Australia uh M gets about 300 calls
every single day so uh every Thursday we
get a lot of Shabbat calls work up
Thursday Friday Shabbat so I have 15 I
have 14 rabim that I work with
colleagues and one of them came to me
this
week is from in
the and he had the following question a
woman came and she had 35 follicules
there supposed to be one 35 follicules
that's a lot and it came out of course
that it has to be on Shabbat and the
doctor said look if we even to mon
shabat or Sunday it's a big problem so
it became question of of doing treatment
ask on Friday afternoon it was
um so there was this this case hyper
stimulation so the what what's the
what's the ramification how did he get
to it or what's the ramification okay so
hypers
stimulation
potentially is life-threatening because
what will happen if we have too much o
if there's too much uh too many
follicules and the and the ovary
ruptures internal bleeding is
potentially life threatening now I've
never in my have a case in my entire
life I've been in on over 25 years I
never had a case of anybody dying from
it but but in the literature it say it's
potentially life ring is
that potentially life rending I
think so so that's the only case I think
that we have in fertility
that nothing else I can think of any in
anywh that
has I never heard of such anything so
it's
not apart from hypers stimulation which
is rare very very rare said there's a
case he came in you know was all
flustered 35 eggs that's a lot and we
not you get usually between 10 15 and
usually we know how to deal with it
usually it's not a problem that was a
unusual case that's a case in which we
have you know there's going to be we'll
see bleeding we there women who bleed
because of ovulation we know that right
it's also related to the previous class
about
about women who bleed because of
ovulation there also chickens that bleed
because of ovulation that chicken bed
because of relation so leave it on why
we get why we get eggs why we get blood
and eggs okay so the most severe
category of probably not appropriate
here so we're we're going down one
category so let's go to the bottom
category
what's what's the category
says you see him he looks okay
someone that's that's experiencing
fertility
treatment they look to be
fine in fact that I'm sure that we all
know maybe very very closely people who
are undergoing fatil treatment that we
don't even know about it it could be
good friends of our we don't know that
they're undergoing F treatment when you
going have a Sho and you're going to
talk about things you have to be so
sensitive as a gar says that
says to
ra what do you want for me says the says
the what did he say it's not me
it's they have to be such a sensitivity
to speaking because you don't know your
community who's going through T
treatment and you'll only know if they
come to you and ask and they only come
to you and ask if you feel if they feel
that they have someone to listen to
someone who's going to listen to them
someone who's going to talk to them
someone's going to understand what
they're talking about someone's going to
be empathetic someone who who's
knowledgeable very important in your Kil
that that first of all you should you
should be knowledgeable in that you
should learn should learn about it and
maybe it's good to have I was just now
in Aila in in in the New Jersey they're
having a women's health day that's a
very very important thing every sh
should have women's healthy which is
completely tailor made for the age of
the women in your sh the younger women
you speak about fertility the older
women you speak about menopause the
older than that you speak about other
other post menopausal assets things that
about myomas about cancer they should
speak about in your sh there should be
something about fertility because it's
very common about one in seven couples
have a problem with the with with
fertility doesn't mean everybody's going
to need do in vro fertilization doesn't
mean everybody's not going to get
pregnant there's a question how long do
you have to wait in order to decide that
we have a fertility problem so generally
the the accepted opinion among the all
of the medical associations is one year
why do you get to one year because the
chance that getting pregnant every month
is about 20% that's when optimal
conditions so if you were less than 6
months we're going to say you're still
in the in the statistical
average but that's only with optimal who
say you have every every month so
therefore we times that six months by
two so there a big question what point
do we say you're allow to do treatment
do get into even Beyond Shabbat just to
do a simple assum analysis question of
it's the question when you allowed to do
that so says many people will get
pregnant a year many people get pregnant
after two years for some people just
left it they get they would get pregnant
what would we do it's very very
important is to reduce pressure the
pressure comes from their internal
pressure their societal pressure the
things that are they're looking around
everybody's pregnant so we have to be
conscious that in in a we have to be
conscious that don't only do children's
activities we had now what do you do for
p it's p now almost almost P not real p
a real
so on the Thursday that's already almost
complete but uh Pur is gonna be on a
Friday so Thursday so so and every every
p is a children's day right it's a
children's day we had in our when we
first started the sh so we had an an a
party in the evening for in our house
just for adults no kids and know people
said we never ever celebrated P before
we don't have any kids or our kids had a
home or we never had purm think about
that think about people in your K that
for them PM is the worst day of the year
because I don't only kidsbody dress up
so be sensitive to
that
so if someone looks well they look well
that seems to be mamash extr mamash
fertility if that's the case if the she
would end here then what we say you
can't do
anything why because we just said
that you can't do
anything you can't get you couldn't take
medication you couldn't take clate you
couldn't take shorts you couldn't take
any there would be no treatment at all
so that if the if the end of the day the
answer was that couple consider to
be then it would be very that would be
it there's not much you can do and there
a lot of people to say like that told me
that who's the you
know so he
said
that they're not sick and he had a
beautiful beautiful uh BR he said to
many people I've used this BR many times
he said many people ask him okay but I
need to do treatment he said it's doing
treatment only studless no one promises
that treatment is going to be successful
he studless so this keeping Shabbat is
also he says on the that you kept
Shabbat you'll have children I use that
many many times not in cases where I
really thought I need to do treatment
cases that were questionable that you
think is gy
so then we get to the how do we
Define listen
[Applause]
carefully say it again Rashi said say
that if we didn't do this treatment the
child the person wouldn't die but they
need this treatment Russia doesn't talk
about the level of illness by the way
the fact that they need the treatment
treatment is essential it's essential
treatment but they're not going to die
if you don't give it to
them we mentioned before
says how do we Define say
you got to be in bed if you're not in
bed what are
you the the way the time in which you
change from
being you're in bed or not in
bed there's got to be some an external
how do we
Define RA man's going to come and say
what I don't if you're going to die
you're not going to die every like that
and therefore that's no difference
between
what's m someone has a headache you have
a you have a migraine every Shabbat I
get up I have a migraine every Shabbat
usually I get up quite early usually by
the time I get to SCH it's it's going
and by the time I get to the Dr I'm
usually fine that's the that's the the
cloud
that's but it's still a if I was on a
regular day maybe I take aad maybe I
take a
Tylenol but it's but so I need it so I'm
so what what did you change from
if you're not in bed you're not you're
walking
around got a headache maybe don't feel
so well a little bit of a
cough so the C the C which you stop
being you become says
in or a little bit
complicated doesn't have to be in bed
H we what we call house ridden why
didn't you come to sh on Shabbat I
wasn't feeling well oh every Shabbat I
go to my
father is 89 years old and every Shabbat
either went to sh or didn't go to sh and
that's always the discussion if he
didn't go to SCH why didn't he go to SCH
and if he went to SCH how bad was SCH
this week every week it's bad every week
the B was terrible the was terrible this
was terrible oh was terrible terrible so
that's I said you have consistency in
your life that's always a good thing to
see so how do I know is no is it
home home
yes remember says that a child is
always question why so a child doesn't
have that ability to know at what point
he's sick or not sick he's always has a
has some some question about his ability
to understand his own situation but I
know if I'm SI I I stay
home you got a headache or a stomach AE
you got a bit of a
heartache walking around
well someone's
coughing they go to work they come to sh
they go to okay you're coughing okay
don't C for other people but you're
okay someone said before if your whole
body
sick he goes he's fetching he's he
doesn't look good even though he's
actually can leave his house okay
that's as though he's not why did he why
did he come out he the what's going do
he's going to be a home it's what's he
going to do long or is
wor even though it's not longer par it's
much more complicated who so it has to
come oh is the rabbi Rabbi has to go to
sh he's not going to come to sh he
prepared the of the Year this py doesn't
feel well Friday
morning on this I'm going to have to go
so he's actually but it's as though he
was in
bed you're in bed you're not in bed
you're
not we know always
follow
so is the huge huge
he's and and
he I said him couple don't have children
they in bed no they don't
Ed that's it
C is a fascinating Chu the ca was asked
about a gentleman who has a
stutter and he has to do breathing
exercises had a tal who was a in in
speech impediments he knew what it was I
didn't know what it was and he's asked
can he do it on Shabbat if you tell me
you not do any exercise on
Shabbat so maybe it's a ass to do the
breathing exercises so so the C are
following
a stutterer who everybody sitting down
it's going to be a fascinating
CH wait a second the guy is walking
around he's not how's he become how did
you get
from says
says his problem in his voice box
LS listen carefully somebody said it
here recently
before somebody who is subf functioning
less than other people that's sometimes
you in your heart something in your
head something your in your goads in
your SP production or your egg
production that's
[Applause]
so has a fascinating definition of much
better than the definition of the World
Health Organization we have a terrible
definition of Health you look at it you
Google it you say it's terrible this
says there's a much better much better
definition the definition of is are you
functioning or not functioning if you're
sub
functioning sometimes you're that it's
dangerous to your sub functioning your
heart isn't functioning
you're and if you're s functioning but
you're still working you're you're not
in danger then
so the whole sub functioning and it
comes to the point in which it's not
really sub functioning having a headache
that's that's his that's his
definition ah if that's the
case then we can say fertility fits into
this category because obviously no
functioning look everybody children
children different category
someone that's considered to
be depends on the circumstance but if a
person's in terrible personal anguish
that's considered to
be says
person is allowed to remove not talking
about talking
about a person's allowed to remove a
scab or feces from their
face if if you're suffering it's causing
you
pain if you to look
beautiful says the
if the S has is I'm embarrassed to go
among people I I'm FR I look I'm gonna
it's a bu it's an
embarrassment sh it's
m there's no
greater I'm surprised didn't bring that
beautiful talk about s it's a
beautiful what s s is I'm embarrassing
someone else I'm not sub functioning
physically necessarily but I have now if
we say
the is considered to
be then maybe we can bring these two Den
together and we say that infertile
couple definitely
have tells us
that and one of them
is so therefore maybe we can say that's
said to me then maybe the other one
there is someone who poor is someone
poor also
question there's a lot of uh there's a
lot of weight a lot of research to say
that definitely fertility is connected
to
depression caused by depression and
connected to depression causes
depression it's clearly that's for men
and for women when we know but it's even
studied for
men so can we bring together so as
as said a lot of lot of and I'll tell
you that the of the that I saw was
the we always
said we just
mentioned is one of the
great also very close to he also said
can't do anything on Shabbat what do on
Shabbat do before Shabbat do after
shabb said to
me there's no he said no the AAR isn't
working the VAR isn't working that you
can see that it's not functioning so
it's like we bring in the C with
together with the with the Gar so he
said now most cases it's not true most
not s if we do some if we look at
someone and we we tested them and
there's no real reason that's what we
call unexplained infertility that's a
very very undiagnosed
uh condition meaning we don't know what
the problem is there's a problem we
don't know what if someone doesn't have
a functioning ovary and I give you
hormones that make you ovary function
that I understand
that's and most of theim said the
following told me also the name
ofos he said what do you mean
a the s that a person has fertility
that's
considered it's not a question
told me the
same goldber told me the
same came told me the same
many we said oh so we have we can do
certain things on
Shabbat so let's speak a little bit
about what can be done on Shabbat so
testing an ovulation we can test
ovulation by a blood test well we don't
need a blood test but but we can do it
by testing
temperature said you're allowed to test
temper you're allowed to do temperature
testing on Shabbat to find ovulation why
shouldn't be a p on Shabbat okay how's a
b p on Shabbat I didn't understand what
does it mean we're testing ovulation in
the morning it's it's basic body
temperature in the morning B basic body
temperature so what's the
na so I find out Shabbat morning I'm
ovulating so what do I do that my
husband doesn't go to sh we have Rel
we didn't have relations yesterday like
what exactly is the is the
ofab is a very wide
category a home test where you color
where a woman urinates onto a strip like
a strip of a pregnancy test that said to
me is not a problem on Shabbat why you
throw it away have no have no IND of the
it's not a problem it's not it's not
real SE analysis can be done on Shabbat
we don't need to do it on Shabbat an
alter only in a case where we think Sak
St do it Friday do it Sunday you don't
need to do it on sh it's no EAS to
do we're taking medication medication do
you take every
day on the other hand many many we know
say is not in our generation without
getting into the Su learn
inat
um there's a question about medication
is doesn't necessarily have to be
exactly at the right time every day it's
also important question I have to take
the shorts every day I take it every day
at 8:00 in the morning you can take it
at any time you take before Shabbat and
after Shabbat taking
shorts can you take a short not shots
like that sh like like so shorts so
there's someone wrote there was a book
on fertility old book old book and he
wrote that it's a question of
intravenous uh injections intravenous
injections where we doing it into the
vein so there you want to see the
blood's coming out to make sure you're
hitting a vein not hitting something
else kill you so um so intervenous
injections are sh subcutaneous which
under the skin is not a question it's
very true but I don't know any
intravenous injection
infertility so you have to also know a
little bit about to give a at the end of
the day so it's not true all
subcutaneous subcutaneous intramuscular
is not a problem you're not drawing
blood we don't need to do it don't need
to do it but there are there's a there's
a process without getting into the the
into the whole details there's a process
in which weep prare the body and then we
give a last shot which is releases the
egg that last shot has to be time
sensitive that has to be that has to
shabat also talking about sometimes
three days of
R sh II an
insemination well a can't do it it's
only we said so we have a non-jewish
doctor an entire non-jewish staff not so
easy to find a hospital has no Jews
working there depend definitely not in
this area there's a lot of people
there's a lot of Jews working working in
this fertility infertility field even
outside of the city but in definitely in
in large Jewish
centers uh the other thing is you can
time it there are many Dogers from dogs
I never ever did I have a friend never
ever did an insemination of Shabbat why
I time it I know I'm giving the
medication I know it's going to happen
so therefore very important when you
tell your K you tell the couple asking
you when you preparing tell the doct
miros that I'm going to have a problem
with Shabbat the doctor will not be a to
time it don't give me the question on a
Friday afternoon ask already a month ago
a month ago tell the doctor on this and
these days we're going to be these and
these
days a good idea not to start treatment
around the because you have either three
days or you know two days and a one day
and you're gonna have don't we don't do
don't do it around
around yes start treatment I don't know
when you say start treatment I just
don't know what that means so that's a
long Tre that's a long question but it's
about we have in order to get a woman to
ovulate we said we're giving treatment
to get to ovulate and especially for an
IUI we're not giving chence CID we're
giving them FSH and LH with great so we
uh that's about a two we process that
we're monitoring a woman we're giving
her medication and we're seeing how she
ovulates so it's excellent question
right so I need that I know that miros
now if I give it if I give you know the
treatment I started on this day and that
day I can make it the Assumption what's
going to happen but also if I if I look
at the the dosage I can I can play
around with it a little bit so it's
important to know that it worked out it
has to be a has to be on Shabbat so the
other question we have a non-jewish
doctor question is how do we get to the
hospital how do we get toing back to and
can we get back from the hospital
getting to the hospital says maybe it's
treatment we can ask an onu getting back
is not so P I can ask an onu to take me
back what's the problem stay in the
hospital is the other thing we have is
that every treatment every every uh F
treatment we have supervision to make
sure there's no mistake made in the lab
there was a very famous case recently in
Israel in which a woman gave birth to a
child that was not her own genetic child
not hers and not her husband's and that
recently two weeks ago the judge decided
that the child after two years will go
back to the genetic parents after being
raised by the birth parents terrible
terrible case so we have a supervision
you have to realize is the supervisor
able to get there on Shabbat we just had
a case now I was speaking to Hime of my
supervision when re we met this morning
had a Supervision in New York and uh she
has a case in which uh it's in a
slightly out of the place out of the way
place on a Friday in 2 o'clock in the
afternoon I I just can't put anybody
there it's not even on a Shabbat it's on
a Friday I can't put on so you have to
think about that as well that's IUI
that's insemination where we take the
sperm and we inject it IVF in vro
fertilization as a gentleman asked is
much much longer and more complex
process that involves not only giving
hormonal stimulation but drawing the
eggs bringing the sperm and ways that
we're not going to speak about today
because not it's not a Shabbat question
and bringing them together developing it
between three and seven days in the
laboratory and putting it back so we
have
retrieval the egg is ready do we do
retrieval on Shabbat and where we never
do retrievals on Shabbat only in places
where they're not where the doctors want
to make more money my wife and I were in
a particular City for Shabbat once in a
hotel and opposite the hotel there's a
there's a hospital Fertility clinic and
we come out for our stroll after after a
kidish in the morning and I see three
doctors that I know outside the outside
the clinic I said to my wife look how
sad this this situation is all those
three believe me are set up financially
for
life why are they doing it to make more
money they could do it on Friday they
could do it on Sunday they could there's
no reason to have it on Shabbat if you
know how a time no other the public
hospitals don't do it on Shabbat but
let's say here we have it suddenly works
on Shabbat it's a non-jewish doctor can
we do the retrieval on Shabbat sometimes
it could be if we don't do the retrieval
like we said the woman with the 35 eggs
it could potentially be dangerous that's
but maybe Amir non Jewish doctor can we
do the transfer on
Shabbat well a lot of times the transfer
can be done later don't I said between
three and seven days I once sat with an
embryologist here in the city we sat for
about an hour going through every single
permutation when we could bring it
earlier and when we could make it later
you can say they make it later someone
said that will compromise the treatment
we
have however we talking about a couple
who are older Who The Limited chance of
getting pregnant that may be very
significant for that day we have a
question maybe it's Bor especially for
is not a problem so we have a lot of
questions related to treatment most of
the times we're able to get away from it
the most the biggest question is really
taking the shots that's really the
biggest question you also have to not
everybody can administer it to
themselves have to go to a doctor
there's another sh
Shabbat
says that a that we do Brit a child is
born on
Shabbat but only a case in which
it's what is the case of sa the
brings the child was born through the
wall what we call cesarian what
Shakespeare said in McBeth he about MCD
he was from his mother's womb untimely
plucked so you know sh scholar Ah that's
all that's all I remember from high
school that's it
that he was from his mother's woman time
PL so the other case it brings is a
person's child is born mahul or born
androus or
born
why and then she
has so when we have the Continuum then
we have we have BR
me
says out crazy A crazy is a very
important thing to have in your in your
Rolodex L because you always have crazy
questions they can't ask a
regular but a crazy so they ask a crazy
what was the
question who pregnant Mar not
Mar how's it
[Applause]
possible said I can have relations
without
breaking maybe
maybe not common that that you don't
break the through
[Applause]
relations maybe she got pregnant in the
bathtub says what does it mean can that
in the bathtub a man went into the
bathtub there were General bathtubs
Wonder was like a swim and they went the
man went in ejaculated a woman came in
and then she got pregnant
says therefore say maybe
the if that's the case IVF is
is can you imagine how I learned that g
200 years ago what do it mean now we
have every single morning five minutes
from here in all of the you walk down
Fifth Avenue one to go after
another every single
day he didn't say
there wants to say he said it's a it's
not a I heard from his children I never
heard from directly I heard it from his
children
didn't so now you come to you knows a
couple had of IVF and they have a child
born on Shabbat ma next Shabbat will
be there's no T there's
no
said that why the doesn't take a
complete Continuum of that P what is the
the P has four
Clauses first clause or first two
Clauses
then all
about none of them about
conception so therefore you can't say we
have a complete Continuum from is
until says I
reject assumption
told
me that's
not not why not not because it's common
because he said you put Zer and and B
together you put egg and and SP together
that's regular normal so I said what
would happen if I would create a sperm
cell for a heroization I would take a
regular gtic cell and I would divide
into two and I create a sperm cell and I
put I I use that to to to implant the
egg would that be considered to be
merism said no that's regular where the
SP that's very nice but that's not that
doesn't change so I said okay what if I
clone an egg ah cloning he said that's
maybe Mass I something that's unusual no
it has to be something that's
unnatural but the the the the the rner
said
said that the britad is not but the M
doesn't have to
ask however later on in the Sho he said
he does
the most fascinating answer was from
rosos told me
Brit after II
ination after IVF
why that's it you going
toos you know I feel you feel bad you're
disturbing him like there was you know
they said about R there was a man who
studied for 90 years and people came to
disturb him that was his life again like
you felt like I don't want to but I had
no idea what he just said like
I what just happened
so is a
in it says the
following regular is what's WR what's
the Tor regular intercourse
[Applause]
whatever is
normal in an unusual
way that depends on the place on the
time someone who put in his
elbows let's imagine it changed and it
would be crazy world that people would
take things out on their El on their
sleeve I don't know a cell phone or
something they walk around with that so
if that would happen What would say
says would be the way that it's normally
done he speak
shab
speak what say that's that's aism
because no one it's unusual not because
it's in natural it's
unusual but he says IUI today is not
unusual insemination is Is Not Unusual
very okay so that what about IVF RAB
didn't write about IVF again RAB was
killed by the
Nazis in
1944 and the first IVF was in 1978 you
know what happened those 33
years so
tell so I understand the the that says
is wrote about II is something normal
when it's normal
then IVF is still abnormal about that
was already a relatively young man he
was maybe 99 at the time was young a
couple of years later a couple went to
him with exactly the same sh came from
me they came went to him and they said
ra said the IVF also does the Brit on
Shabbat why because in those two years
there became more and more more cases
that became normal it's not my S him
anymore
it's it stops being when it becomes a
Norm the norm now is IVF IVF is in in
Israel one in every 20 births is
after so it's
a that he able to change his mind at the
age of 100 plus
and I mentioned before we talking it's a
beautiful it's a beautiful idea what is
the Tora is is T isn't what happened on
T is what's going on now what's going on
now we writing out that's what Tor is
tor is is is now Tor is a living thing
Tor is is idea that's the way people get
pregnant that's considered to be normal
for the Tor not Tor so that's so I think
the today is that everybody would say
that the
BR the way we get there I think is a
very uh interesting uh is an interesting
journey and also explains to us about
the how the posim really started
accepting fertility treatment much more
and that process of how everybody said
at one point is user now became
everybody says basically it's mut not
only M became the norm I think it's a
very fascinating process that I was able
to be witnessed to in the past 25 years
working for pu everybody should be well
and happy and not have
any but when we have questions about we
should know how to define what's what's
and be able to give a competent
appropriate response shalom shalom
