===Mumar (Unobservant Jew)=== | |||
A ''Mumar'', of which there are two categories, is a Jew who does not observe one or many Mitzvot. A ''Mumar LeTe'avon'' is one who violates Mitzvot for his own personal benefit/pleasure or to save money; a ''Mumar LeHachis" is one who violates halacha spitefully. | |||
# Technically speaking, under very limited circumstances, a ''Mumar LeTe'avon'' could shecht under very strict supervision, but many argue that even this dispensation is not applicable nowadays.<ref>See Simla Chadasha 2:2-12</ref> | |||
