Cars That Stop On Shabbat To Allow People To Cross

Cars That Stop On Shabbat To Allow People To Cross Day: Thursday Date: May 29, 2014 Parshat: Naso Source: Yalkut Yosef: 318 Products that come from a factory in which Jews work on Shabbat may be consumed although it is preferable not to. They should especially not be purchased if that will encourage more chilul Shabbat. In a place where drivers on Shabbat are typically Jewish one should not cross a street while cars are approaching if doing so will cause them to stop, slow down, or honk. This holds true whether in middle of the street, at a corner, or even at a crosswalk. If a car stops to allow one to cross, it is permissible to cross even though it will hold back the driver. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
