Igros Moshe (YD IV #36.16) Question Those yeshiva students who desire to study medicine or other secular subjects in spare moments during the day in a superficial manner Answer I don’t see any problem with this as long as it doesn’t interfere with their Torah study schedule in yeshiva. This is not required but is merely permitted as long as it it a simple survey of the material without great effort or depth in spare time because it is viewed as pleasurable and perhaps useful.
What about his son in law?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think he had any influence on what he did?
DeleteHe allowed a medic to marry his daughter. Did he not have veto?
DeleteHis son in law said he met his future wife in the public library, It was not a shidduch or something Rav Moshe was asked if he liked
DeleteWhy was his daughter in such a place as public Library?
DeleteSounds like the Ikea in Israel you mentioned.
Did Rav Moshe, zt"l, not appreciate the complexity of medicine? To imply that one could study to be a doctor in one's spare time seems odd.
