Listen "Can I Say Birkat Kohanim While Carrying a Gun?"
Episode Synopsis
I am a kohen who lives in Israel where I make the priestly blessing every day. After October 7th, I was recruited to my town’s First Response Team and am now required to carry my gun at all times, including the synagogue. Is it prohibited to make the blessing of Birkat Kohanim, which is essentially a blessing about peace, while carrying a weapon?Have a question you'd like answered on Responsa Radio?
