Tomb of Tana Hakadosh Rabbi Nachum Ish Gamzu
Rabbi Nachum Ish Gamzu was one of the first Tannaim (sages of the Mishnah era) and teacher of Rabbi Akiva
Hello and welcome
Good morning,
I’m in a hotel with kosher breakfast in Uruguay.
On Shabbat, the kashrut supervisor doesn’t come, but he leaves everything ready before Shabbat. In the hotel, do non-Jews continue to bake bread and heat coffee and milk on Shabbat? Could I eat this on Shabbat?
Thank you very much for the answer.
Hello and welcome
Food that was prepared for you before Shabbat, and is closed and sealed in such a way that there is no doubt it is kosher food prepared by the supervisor before Shabbat, you can eat it on Shabbat, even if the supervisor is not present.
However, if the food is open and not served in a closed box, you cannot trust that the food being brought to you is kosher, unless there are other signs regarding it.
In any case, even if the food is kosher and sealed with a kashrut seal, you cannot eat it if non-Jews heat the food specifically for you.
However, as long as non-Jews heat the food for others on Shabbat, and not for you, there is no halachic problem with that.
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
