Question
Is it permissible to eat non-Jewish bread on Shabbat if it's difficult to obtain Jewish bread here?
Answer
Ideally, there is a value in ensuring that even someone who is lenient during the week eats Jewish bread in honor of Shabbat. However, if it is not possible to obtain Jewish bread, one may use non-Jewish bread [of course, if there is no issue of kashrut, one must be more cautious nowadays as bread contains many ingredients that were not present in the past].
