Reporting Jewish Businesses for Not Following COVID Protocols
QUESTION
Brooklyn, NY
Can a Jew report a Jewish business to 311 for not following COVID protocols?
ANSWER
I am assuming that the punishment for such violations is some form of fine / closure and not imprisonment. As such, it is by almost all accounts, permissible and does not fall into the category of moser. Added to this, there is an element of kiddush HaShem, given the public reporting of frum Jews violating these protocols – to have a frum Jew take them seriously is quite important.
