Reply To: Where is the line between halacha and dinas dimalchusa

There is NO BRIGHT LINE. As your LRP when in doubt but otherwise, follow the rules set out for all, even if you think others are violating those rules. We know that Yidden will always be held up to a higher standard and anti-semites will exploit our mistakes to hype their sterotypes. Absent a mandate that would result in a yid forciblyviolating certain laws regarding idolatry, murder and adultery et. al, we should always seek to conform with civil laws, especially those seemingly designed to protect public health. Where is the “line”? Well, personally, I would violate civil laws on eating treifus, foregoing milah etc. but that is personal.
