Baltimore, MD – Oct. 22, 2024 – In today’s world, having packages delivered to our homes has become a way of life. Unfortunately, incidents of package theft from doorsteps have been on the rise, with individuals actively seeking out unattended deliveries. Even visible porch cameras don’t always deter criminals, so it’s important to bring packages inside as soon as possible.
However, what should be done when packages are delivered on Shabbos or Yom Tov? Please be aware that Rabbi Heinemann and Rabbi Hopfer have stated it is permissible to kick a package into your house using your foot or feet on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
Wishing everyone a safe and joyous Yom Tov and Shabbos.
