Reply To: Hot Dog Eating Contest

“By your definition, a frum slumlord is committing an avaira by putting the lives of his tenants at risk ( bad wiring, no heat hot water etc)” (LC)

Lesschumras: Isn’t this an aveirah because it puts lives in danger plus it is a chillul Hashem?

At last night’s Tetzaveh Torah class, my LOR said that Torah speaks very practically on how a Jew must dress and conduct himself because he represents the Jewish people with his dress and behavior.

One who even walks around with grease on his shirt should die (but not literally be put to death, as far as I understood, but halacha states it like that to send a message). —- (((Maybe this relates to the hot dog eating which can be messy – but maybe not because any grease is understood in context of the contest)))
