I seem to remember hearing (on a shiur) that the word “PACHIM” (sometimes translated as
heat / heatstroke, etc – actually derives from the wordneficha– breathing – asVAYIPACH bi-apov nishmas chayim– “Ha-shemBREATHEDinto Adams nostrils a neshomoh of life". Should this affect our attitude towards Corona? Does this make it inapropriate to take the attitude of "Its all in Hashems hands, so why wear a mask?, if Hashem wills Ill get Corona, and if He doesnt I wont”? Maybe there is specific cause for vigilance when it comes to breathing in germs, as it may fall under “Tzinim-PACHIM”? Please informIt says, a person should pray not to get sick. Once a person gets sick ch’v, he needs special protection, zechusim to get cured. Besides prayer, we must do everything possible like wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing to protect ourselves from the coronavirus and then Hashem will help us. It is a mitzva of ushmartem meod lenafshosechem to protect ourselves from getting sick. If a person endangers himself, he will not be helped.
People that wore masks got it and there are those that didn’t wear and didn’t get it
Avrahammerstein – IDK where you got that Pshat From.
But there is a Machlokes – Rashi & Tosfos.
One says it means you can make yourself warm or cold. I.E. – Put on a coat or blanket.
The other says if you expose yourself to s/o who has a cold or something that causes a fever, you can get it w/o Hashem’s decree.Avraham Meir,
That’s with everything not just tzinim upachim
No one is going around saying we should dance with sick people what people are saying is you should live your lives normally
It’s no difference than driving 55 on the highway
