Reply To: Target stores promoting To'aivah

yichusdik: I use the term Toeivah because I prefer to speak biloshon nikoyon (clean speech) and what it’s frequently used in our circles.

I don’t know of any stores that actively promote stealing as a virtue. Here target is actively promoting a social issue that’s goes against many peoples values. The point isn’t whether they are doing something that I believe is ossur.

You are right that it is a social issue but that doesn’t make any difference. Many social values come from religious values. I never said that it’s forbidden by religion to shop at target (however it might be a question in hashkafah).
