A Store Open on Shabbat Owned by Non-Jews
Question
Is it permissible to shop at a store named Jumbo, which belongs to a Greek-owned non-Jewish chain and is open on Shabbat in a mall in Haifa that is open on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The rabbi's opinion is not to shop there, even though the chain is owned by a non-Jew.
Jews work there on Shabbat, and additionally, it is a desecration of God's name.
