6064 – A Clean Blowing -
Question
Q. Dear Rav Shlit’a. My elderly father is going to be in a hospital on Rosh Hashana, and in his sad condition can’t keep his body completely clean. How can he comply with the mitzva of Shofar?
Answer
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that he should clean himself as much as possible before listening to the Shofar.
