A Mechalel Shabbat Who Brings Candies To Shul On Shabbat

A Mechalel Shabbat Who Brings Candies To Shul On Shabbat
Day: Tuesday
Date: May 27, 2014
Parshat: Naso

All the halachot mentioned previously with regards to melacha done by a Jew on Shabbat apply when the melacha has changed the subject of the melacha. However if the subject is completely unchanged as a result of the melacha, while it is certainly very preferable to refrain, strictly speaking one may have benefit from it. In a public forum it should not be allowed unless it will cause machloket or worse. For example, if a person who is not Shomer Shabbat brings candies on Shabbat to throw at a Bar Mitzvah, the candy should not be eaten unless it will cause machloket among the congregants or cause people to distance themselves from Torah.
