The head of the Junction Institute, Rabbi Menachem Perl, for the first time admitted that those who suffer from stuttering and using a special hearing aid can use it on Shabbat. In an unusual step, and after extensive testing, it was difficult for people to speak to use the device.

Some stuttering sufferers produce a positive response to altered voice feedback. When the sound of stuttering is played to him in small changes, his flux improves and this can help to a large extent to a large part of the stuttering. Some people with speech difficulties use dedicated apps on iPhones and Android devices, using headphones with a microphone, and others use devices similar to hearing aids that include the carnage, processing and output unit inside or above the ear.

Recently she came to the Junction Institute, which deals with the development of permissible means according to Halacha on Saturday, in which Adam explained that the device allows him to have conversations and teach on Saturday. Therefore, he asked for permission to use the device on Saturday.

The institute's engineers examined the device and then Rabbi Pearl determined that it could be used when open and edited in advance and adjusted to the required volume and volume. If the battery does not last for the rest of the Sabbath, a backup battery should be connected regularly before the Sabbath. "The one who suffers from stuttering is the one who suffers from hearing impairment. Both of them have a 'sick' law for Shabbat," Rabbi Pearl explained. "Therefore, they should also be assisted in a way that avoids a healthy person. The Sabbath was given pleasure and rest, and not forgiveness for sorrow."
