Question
A person works in an investment company that invests in transactions involving prohibited interest and in enterprises that desecrate Shabbat. He has no dealings with the company itself, and his role is only to represent one of the investors in the company on various committees. Is he transgressing a prohibition?
Answer
He is forbidden to participate in this because of the prohibitions of assisting in a transgression and of “do not put a stumbling block before the blind.”
