Attending events to eat without an invitation
Question
Hello.
Is it permitted for a yeshiva student to go to weddings in order to eat there without knowing the mechutanim (the families making the wedding)?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
Not on a regular basis. There is an assumption about people’s intention that they agree to a hungry yeshiva student coming once to eat at their celebration, but they do not agree to someone who systematically goes to weddings in order to eat.
