Monsey Shul Newsletter rules that one cannot desecrate Shabbos for someone about to committ suicide




Yes, my dear readers, newsletters have now become poskim, on life and death issues! 

Some idiotic newsletter in Monsey (I will not print the name of the newsletter just yet) issued an answer to the weekly question "Is threat of suicide sufficient Pikuach Nefesh to be Mechalel Shabbos?"
 The brilliant answer, by the big Talmud Chochom? No, you cannot !! 

The most disturbing part of the answer is that they back this asinine psak with a "Chasam Sofer" ...
Every yeshiva bocher knows that we do not pasken from any TShuvois.... but this "yukel" knows better!
I ask readers to call Hatzalah on Shabbos should something like this G-D Forbid ever happen to anybody you know and to disregard "am ratzesdeka" psakim!
