Mi Keamcha,
I’m still waiting for you to answer my question above. To wit:
I’m curious as to why you hold handheld electronic games are assur because of bittul z’man, but these other activities are not:
Playing a board game (i.e., chess, Monopoly, Settlers of Catan, etc.)
Reading a book
Jogging
Posting in the Coffee Room
Painting
Flying a kite
Writing a story/poem/play
Playing a pick-up game of basketball
Coin/stamp collecting
Photography
Listening to music
Keeping a diary
Going to the zoo/aquarium/botanic garden
And many, many others. Why are electronic handheld games assur because of bittul z’man, but not the above activities? Or are all the above assur too?
Please respond.
