Description

What is the status of Buddhist temples? Is Buddhism Avodah Zara? What can be visited? The Thai people cook sticky rice wit Mango juice & coconut milk in a bamboo stick. But even if the ingredients are kosher, what about Bishul Akum? Can this Halachik problem be solved? What, if anything, can one eat in Bangkok other than the food in the Chabad restaurant? The Israelis in Thailand often live on high floors. The light goes on in the stairwell, so one must use the lift or spend the entire Shabbat inside the flat. Is there any possibility of permitting using the lift if the non-Jewish doorman presses the button? These and some other discussions will be addressed.
