[Avodah] Kosher Food vs. Lifnei Iver

[Mordechai Torczyner]

The argument of providing kosher food doesn't really work; there is no way to know that you are causing this person to eat less treif by providing this food.

But more to the point, the issue is Lifnei Iver, as well as omitting Hocheiach Tochiach. Rav Moshe dealt with this in Igros Moshe Orach Chaim 5:13. Serving buffet style seems to be an appropriate way to handle the situation, especially if there is a concern for eivah.

Also worth noting: See a remarkable article by Rav Shlomo Wahrman in HaDarom #68-69 (Elul 5759), in which he justifies a travel agent selling a ticket for a Shabbat flight to a Jew!

Be well,
Mordechai
