Hello Rabbi!
Is it permissible to buy at a grocery store, etc., that is open on Shabbat/does not have kosher, snacks and all kinds of foods that have kosher on the packaging? Should we be concerned about strengthening the hands of these Jews or not? I ask whether there is no concern about strengthening their hands following your article about secular people and the halacha that they do not recognize as their obligation to observe.
Thanks in advance!

There is no halakhic problem. Regarding halakhic policy, I think there is no need to boycott them, and it would not be helpful. Although if there are two containers at the same distance and one observes Shabbat, there is a point in buying from the one that observes. There is no need to boycott the other and there is no point in holding the hands of transgressors, but there is a point in holding the hands of those who observe the mitzvah so that their hands do not fall.
