Before urbanization in values

שו”ת › Before urbanization in values

Is there a halachic pre-Iyur offense in general values, and is it also permissible when the transgressor passes by accident? [That is, in your opinion, is it forbidden for a Jewish vegan to hand over a glass of cow’s milk after drinking it? Or perhaps as a (large) extension of judgment according to his system, it is permissible to hand over to a non-vegan who says it is permissible. And is it permissible for a non-vegan to hand over even to a vegan, provided that they inform him that it is cow’s milk and not almond milk, as you learned in the Ritva in Dauraita. Or rather, if the vegan recipient believes that it is almond milk, then it is permissible to hand over to him silently. Or perhaps for some reason only a vegan to a vegan is prohibited. I did not find a direct reference on the site. ]

It seems to me that it simply is. Similarly, we discuss the prohibitions of the rabbis in front of a blind person. Simply put, it is the prohibition of the blind person from the Torah, since stumbling over a physical obstacle is also the prohibition of the rabbis, and the prohibition of the rabbis does not detract from a physical obstacle: you caused someone else something bad. So also causing someone to commit a moral offense is causing someone else something bad. Regarding veganism, you are already entering into the question of blindly engaging in a value dispute. I dealt with this regarding Halacha (the Ritva in Sukkah 10), and regarding morality, this is a more complex discussion. I think the explanation I gave to the Ritva that there is a violation of the autonomy of the other here will be correct here as well.
