Question
A person works in an investment company that invests in transactions involving interest and in businesses that desecrate Shabbat. However, he has no dealings with the company itself, and his role is only to represent one of the company’s investors on various committees. Is he thereby transgressing a prohibition?
Answer
He is forbidden to participate, because of the prohibitions of assisting a transgressor and of “placing a stumbling block before the blind.”
