Breaking Shabbos for the War; & The Angry Food Critic
Breaking Shabbos for the War; & The Angry Food Critic
Jul 28, 2026
23:05
In this episode of Moral Dilemmas & Other Jewish Stories, Rav Yitzi explores the fascinating dilemma of a religious defense expert who, during the war in Israel, chose not to break Shabbos—even though his vital work meant that he was permitted, and expected, to do so. Did his decision have consequences? Then Rav Shlomo tells the story of an angry Jewish food critic who badly misperceived the Orthodox Jews he encountered—and wrote a scathing article about them. But there was much more to the story than he realized. Two very different stories about judgment, conviction, and what happens when things aren’t quite what they seem.
