[NAGDU] Religious Issue

[Cindy Ray]

So you are Orthodox Jew then? Some of the reformed, and I can't recall the
other one I'm thinking of, have relaxed some of that. That is all so
interesting to me.

Yes, according to most authorities I would be able to use the dog. The issue
at hand is that by strict Jewish law, it is forbidden to carry objects from
the outside in or from the inside out, or outside a distance of more than
approximately 6 feet.  There are some authorities that allow the use of a
cane, but the rabbi that was asked on my behalf ruled against it, and my
understanding of the ruling makes me agree and adhere.  A dog is not
carried, but moves on its own, and the harness is a garment rather than a
burden.  One problem I have is with park bags, and certainly picking up
after them, so during that 24 hour period, I need to try to plan when the
dog empties, and otherwise let what happens happen.  I also have to keep one
gentle leader in the synagogue to be used during the lunch after services,
rather than keep the main one in my pocket.
