May I benefit from a house of idolatry?-- a place whose primary purpose is to serve idols, or a house of worship that contains idols, either during or not during the worship ceremony. Such as, accepting free food from their food pantry, attending self help groups within the adjoining rooms of the house, voting in a place which contains idols. May I be in the same room with an idol, if that room is adjoining a house of worship? May I drink wine or eat meat that may have been dedicated to an idol, but I just don't know? May I eat meat or drink wine that I do know has been offered to an idol? What if a house of idolatry contains no idols that I can see readily, may I go there until I do see an idol? What if it is house of an idolatry that doesn't have a physical representation the idol in of itself?
G-d bless.
G-d bless.
