Carrying a Hatzaloh Beeper on Shabbas

Totally unrelated to anything....How odd is it that even non-frum jews go to shul on rosh hashana, when frum non-jews go parting on new years? Last week we spoke about one of Rav Moshe Feinstein's responsa relating to medical issues. Thank god, the HalachaDoctor (aka Hashem and his trusty sidekick Mr. Tylenol) have nursed the Halachaboy back to health, but I figured once we are on the topic I might as well take the ball...and let it drop (was going to say "and run with it" but then I wouldn't be able to say no pun intended). If you don't like the choice of topic please email me, but from the lack of emails I have been receiving I am assuming everyone loves what I write about and is speechless- so why not continue. I will put the source of each Rav Moshe we do in parenthesis for those who wish to look at it in more in depth. It is my hope that these questions not only enlighten your eyes in halacha but allow you into the mind, wisdom and intellect of one of the biggest Gedoli Torah. Can a Hatzala Member wear his beeper on Shabbos in a city without an eruv? (Orech Chaim, Chelek 4, Question 81) We know one can't carry in a city without an eruv except the clothes he is wearing. The gemara in Shabbos (63a) quotes an argument whether one can walk with a sword on Shabbos. Do we view the sword as jewelry, in which case it would be allowed. Or is a sword a disgusting item because it won't be needed in the times of mashiach. We paskin you can not carry a sword because it is a disgust. This idea touches on the famous argument of Abaye and Shmuel. Abaya says that the times of mashiach will be a utopia, no fighting anywhere in the world. Shmuel says mashiach's times will look exactly like now-a-days but the Jews will be on top. The Rishonim learn that even according to Shmuel who says there will be wars; jews won't need weapons, for Hashem will miraculously fight the battles for them. Rav Moshe, in his brilliancy, explains why did the Rabbis say you can't carry a sword- it is not because it won't be used in the times of mashiach, rather because it is a sign of your sins. The reason there won't be swords and murders is because the Jews won't be sinning. We know Hashem punishes only those that did wrong, and this fellow must have sinned and is worried he will get killed- why else carry a sword?? However, if the item you are carrying is helping and saving others, even if it won't be used in the times of mashiach (Because in the times of mashiach everyone will be healthy and there will be no need for doctors- maybe not the best profession to go into) it is not a disgust to carry it now a days, rather it is the prettiest, most beautiful jewelery you could wear. Next time your wife's birthday comes around—maybe a walkie-talki is really the thing she deserves. Fluffy Haskafa Application : We have mentioned that everyone agrees in the times of mashiach Jews will need no weapons for there will either be no war or Hashem will fight for us. Let us take this concept of life in the times of mashiach to heart and infuse it into our tefillos especially in the bracha of Es Tzemach Dovid (where we pray for the coming of mashiach). The world is a crazy world, Jews are dying way too often- it doesn't have to be this way- we CAN change it.
