Is walking to shul in a storm(with lightning) considered Sakanas Nefashos
July 28, 2014 1:44 am at 1:44 am #1024761👑RebYidd23ParticipantIt depends on severity of storm and if there are trees.
July 28, 2014 1:44 am at 1:44 am #1024762yaakov doeParticipantIn a ciy or through an open field?
July 28, 2014 2:01 am at 2:01 am #1024763Josh31Participantyes
July 28, 2014 2:24 am at 2:24 am #1024764nystatetrooperParticipantTake an umbrella!!!!!
July 28, 2014 2:40 am at 2:40 am #1024765👑RebYidd23ParticipantAbsolutely do not take an umbrella. It increases the danger.
July 29, 2014 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm #1024766I. M. ShluffinParticipantWalking during a lightning storm is very dangerous. Running, probably less so.
July 30, 2014 4:50 am at 4:50 am #1024767HaLeiViParticipantMuch better than swimming to Shul.
July 30, 2014 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm #1024768oomisParticipantYes it absolutely is sakanas nefashos. If you are near a tree, it could attract lightning. If you are in an open area, YOU can attract the lightning. It looks for the tallest, closest outlet. In fact, I am told thaty if someone is caught in an open field, they should curl up into the tightest ball they can make of themselves and go to the ground. The smaller the target, the greater the chance of avoiding being struck. AND DON’T TALK ON A CORDED PHONE DURING A STORM.
July 31, 2014 12:25 am at 12:25 am #1024769👑RebYidd23ParticipantIt doesn’t look for anything. It’s not attraction, it’s conduction.
July 31, 2014 8:54 am at 8:54 am #1024770YW Moderator-42ModeratorIs the lightning looking for a shidduch?
July 31, 2014 11:13 am at 11:13 am #1024771TheGoqParticipantYes 42 but as oomis said the target is too short.
July 31, 2014 12:19 pm at 12:19 pm #1024772MenoParticipantIt is attraction (well, technically it’s repulsion). Electrons repel each other, so in effect they are “attracted” to things with an opposite (i.e. positive) charge.
