Teshuvah for Coerced Eating of Forbidden Foods

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Ber

Description

A Jew imprisoned by non-Jews was forced to eat forbidden foods. The Chasam Sofer rules leniently, holding that eating under duress requires no fasting or monetary penance, though sincere repentance and confession are appropriate for any involuntary pleasure experienced.
