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.

The Wolf
