Question
A tray from Ezer Mizion with a meat dish was left in a hospital room with the outer wrapping open and the dish itself closed. Should there be concern about the meat being left unattended?
Answer
Ideally, it should not be left like this, but if it was left, it is permissible to eat it. This is because one can generally rely on the fact that Jews are constantly coming and going there, and also because a stranger has no benefit in replacing the dish with non-kosher meat.
