Rabbi Asher Weiss, one of the leading halachik authorities, participated in the biennial convention of the Conference of European Rabbis in Antwerp, Belgium this week.

“It’s a halakhic obligation to vaccinate our children,” Rabbi Weiss said.
“This is not a recommendation. It’s a halakhic obligation. It is a chiyuv (obligation) to vaccinate our children, and those who do not vaccinate their children, that is a violation of a halakhik obligation,” the rabbi said, warning of the danger of spreading diseases such as the measles.
