- Q. Dearest friend and Rabino. My new home in Mexico City is right next to a store that sells many flammable items and the law is that they and their neighbors are not allowed to make a fire outside their home. On Chanukah should I bribe the authorities if needed (as is often done here) since the risk is really small and light the menorah outside as I always did?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should avoid doing anything that may have a chance to harming others or performing an illegal act against the laws of the state.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by, Horav Yaakov Hirschman, Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit'a
