In this shiur, given on Tuesday night, Feb. 2nd, Rabbi Herman noted the importance (via the commentary of CHaZaL on the criticism in Seifer Shmuel of Chafni and Pinchas, sons of Eili haKohein) of allowing the husband and wife to be together as much as possible and explained (via various sources) why the timing of certain gynecological procedures could be so crucial (hence, far better to consult with your Rav on the scheduling than to have to deal with the Halachic issues arising after the procedure is done).
The handout, listing the sources which were addressed during the shiur, should be examined prior to and/or in conjunction with the shiur itself. Thank you.
