Reply To: Is it proper for an adult to drink from a water fountain?

ubiq, I read posuk 5. I don’t see the words “laying down” anywhere, however, according to the Maharo Kra, there are three types : Those who did kriya to drink -posul, those who were melakek like a dog – also posul, and those who were melakek beyadam el pihem (posuk 6) – only these were the kosher ones. Perhaps the Mahari Kra’s second category referred to laying down, but he describes them as posul. Please read posuk 6 that says “lapping with their hands to their mouths,” and read the Mahari Kra on paukim 5 and 6 – It’s explicitly not like you. Also, please read Rashi on the words Melakekim Beyadam, “Ein ze derech kriah, kelokek bilshono.” Ie: not like a dog.
