One who publicly desecrates Shabbat – is he trustworthy in matters of kashrut?
Question
Is a person who publicly desecrates Shabbat trustworthy in matters of kashrut, for example to say which hechsher the meat has?
Answer
Shalom u-vracha
He is not trustworthy in matters of kashrut, since he himself is not careful about kashrut.
And one who desecrates Shabbat is considered like a denier of the entire Torah.
