Question
Hello to the esteemed Rabbi, shlita. I wanted to ask the Rabbi's opinion: Is there a concept of 'dina d'malchuta' (law of the land) for Torah scholars and yeshiva students regarding tax exemptions, forgery of rental documents, and discounts in kindergartens? Is this permissible according to Halacha? Also, I was asked if someone studying for the Chief Rabbinate can forge a certificate, or is this considered theft?
Answer
Hello,
Our teacher, the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, instructs that it is forbidden to lie and to forge.
