I need the name and number or a posek I can call that might be able to tell me if I need to fast tomorrow. ASAP!!! Please!!!
dont you have a LOR?
blabla,
I remember you discussing this around Tisha B’av. Can you ask the same posek you had asked then or did you not ask that time? Is there a rov you’ve dealt with before who knows you personally that you can ask?
if not, here is the number of one of the lakewood poskim:
Rav Shmuel Meir Katz (732) 367-3069
I’ve heard that Rav Dovid Goldwasser is an expert on that. Unfortunately I don’t have his number. Anyone have it?
I have no clue what Rav Katz knows about ED but its probably worthwhile to try him again in a little while if you don’t get thru to another rov soon.
Hatzlacha Rabba and I wish you a year of good health and that you should be able to fully overcome this disease.
R Goldwasser is a posek and works extensively with those with eating disorders.
718 677-3712
please, please
the following is from an article in the nyt
EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT
but if you are unable to reach a Posek who is familiar with eating disorders, and only as an emergency, i found this
Call R’ Shmuel K’minetzky
(215) 473-2798
keep trying to reach a Posek
blabla,
did you see am yisrael chai’s post above with his number? Its 718 677-3712.
He was indeed talking about eating on yom kippur itself but he didn’t say that only someone under 90 lb should eat. That sounds like just an example. Try calling him and please post whether you get thru to him.
Rabbi Shmuel Feurst
(773)539-4241
A very reliable posek from Chicago. People from all over call him.
Beis Hora’ah 732-363-1616
(adding a second public number)
R Goldwasser is a posek and works extensively with those with eating disorders.
718 677-3712
(718) 339-4582
R’ Dovid Cohen, Rav in NY and Posek accepted by many people
718-376-7388
718-376-7423
Not sure if he has specific hours today or what they are…
I would be shocked if any Posek told an anorexic or recovering anorexic to not eat. If anyone tells one to fast I would ask several times to make sure they understand exactly what anorexia is and how easy relapses can be.
blabla
Did you get through to a posek?
blabla
Clarifying a doubt is a huge source of relief.
May I suggest that you keep this rav’s number even for advice how to deal with complicated family issues or any other personal struggle.
R Goldwasser is warm, non-judgmental, helpful and supportive.
Gmar chasima tova.

So how was your Yom Kippur?
B”H, so glad to hear. Definitely a worthwhile number to keep regarding any issue, even advice!
blabla: Glad you got hold of a rav you feel comfortable with. How are you doing in general? Missing you at the poetry thread!
