Question
Hello and thank you for the service. I have two questions regarding the work of a Haredi woman in a company where the employees are not observant. a. If there are 3-4 Haredi women in the office and the rest of the employees are not observant, is there a problem of yichud when 3 non-observant men remain? b. From the perspective of modesty, should one ask the employer to allocate a separate area or row in the 'open space' for the Haredi women, or should one request a completely separate office?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
1. This is not considered yichud.
2. It depends on the seating arrangement. If the area is separate and creates a situation of no connection with those sitting in the rest of the space, it is acceptable.
