<DIV>FWIW, R A Z Weiss is a prominent ( Charedi) Posek and Talmidie Chacham
whose shiur in Ramot Gimmel attracts a huge breadth of various hashkafos among
those attend the same. I highly recommend R A Z Weiss's many seforiim to anyone
interested in a wonderful discussion of the halachic issues implicated therein
via s jumping off from the Parsha ,etc.</DIV>

<DIV>As far as the issue raised, one raise the following issue vis a vis whether
one should have a "Shomer Shabbos residency" or not or whether one should enter
a profession if it will entail Chillul Shabbos on a regular basis IIRC, this
issue has been discussed , etc among RIETS's RY with differing views-depending
on the quality of the residency, whether one should lchatchilah enter a
profession or branch of medicine where Chullul Shabbos on a regular basis
will be part of one's family life.. Why is insisting upon on's civil
liberties and rights which are constitutionally guaranteed, at least in the US,
"a quite radical position" ? </DIV>
