Serving Refreshments in a Secular Office
Question
A woman who works in a secular office is returning from maternity leave, and in the office it is customary to bring refreshments in honor of returning to work. Is there a halachic problem with bringing refreshments for people who most likely will not recite a blessing over them?
Answer
Shalom u'vrachah
One should not bring refreshments for people who do not recite blessings.
However, if this would cause offense to the office employees, it is permitted.
