Question

“He guards the feet of His pious ones” — Tosafot limits this to forbidden foods.
I was involved in the following question: someone sent challahs to some righteous man living in another city, and Sabbath began, and he remembered that he had not separated challah.
Should he send them by way of a non-Jew so that the righteous man will not eat them? [Telling a non-Jew is a rabbinic prohibition, but the non-Jew would of course drive a car and go beyond the Sabbath boundary — twelve mil.]
Or should he separate challah where he is? [There is the issue of being surrounded/adjacent, and also the prohibition against separating challah on Sabbath and a Jewish holiday, so there are apparently two rabbinic prohibitions.]
 
I was wondering whether he can rely on the idea that something will happen and, by some miracle, the righteous man will not eat it? [And not worry that he will give it to others, since that is not the usual way things go; this is not mishloach manot, which tends to get passed around, but rather personal challahs for Sabbath, where the normal thing is to eat them and after Sabbath call to compliment how tasty they were, etc.] The question is especially about someone who is established as a righteous man, and no stumbling in matters of forbidden foods comes to him [there are stories going around about several “miracles” on this issue]. Of course, the question is according to the view that divine intervention still occurs nowadays as well.
