How does one feed a sick person or pregnant woman on Yom Kippur — what are the shiur (measure) protocols?
Synopsis
When feeding a sick person on Yom Kippur, one feeds in increments below the k'kotevet (eating) or melo lugmav (drinking) to avoid the person accumulating a full shiur within the combination time. The shiur is approximately 2/3 of an average egg, with a wait of 4 eggs' worth of time between servings.
