Reply To: What would you do?

LU -“The correct comparison would not be to washing Negelvasser; it would be to learning all the halachos that can possibly ever come up in your lifetime, even those that don’t come up at all in most people’s lifetimes.

So until a person has learned all the halachos in all four sections of the Shulchan Aruch, I’m not so sure he would be allowed to waste time learning CPR which he may never need and which (according to your prior posts) involves a lot time and effort over an extended period of time to learn.”

Please don’t come here with your Psak Halachos!

You can learn other things in life, like how to drive a car.

In this case, you’re putting the Torah into practicality!

“Additionally, it’s a bit shver to put it in the same category as things that we are chayiv to learn and put into practice according to halacha, unless you know poskim who posken that it is a chiyuv.”

I know what the Torah requires of a Jew. If you see a person collapse, you are required to do what it takes to save him or her. If you need to have training to do it, (which is not the case here), then you have to get the training!
