Hetter Mechirah: Halachic-Polemic Responsum Handwritten and Signed by the Iggerot Moshe. 1959
Extremely important halachic-polemic responsum, handwritten and signed by the rabbi of the entire Diaspora, the gaon Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, author of Iggerot Moshe, with respect to running a business on Shabbat using a "sales permit" - a hetter mechirah - to a non-Jew. This is a complex halachic-controversial sugya that occupied many gedolei hadorot. New York, Menachem Av, 1959. Printed (for the most part) in Shu"t Iggerot Moshe.
This responsum was sent to the gaon Rabbi Tuvia Stern, av beit din of Miami Beach, the warm vacation city in the State of Florida, where wealthy American Jews travel or retire. In the comfortable United States, land of abundance, where everything is "kosher, parve and mezonot, " there are kosher restaurants that are open on Shabbat, for which pre-payment is arranged on Friday. However, due to the fact that the restaurant is open in any case, non-Jews and non-observant Jews enter the restaurant to eat and pay during Shabbat. As such, Rabbi Stern suggested an idea to the posek hador, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein: a certain percentage of the restaurant could be sold to a non-Jew, and all the profit from the business done on Shabbat would be in the name of the non-Jew. This way, the restaurant can continue to operate as usual.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for an in-depth discussion of this controversy by poskim in earlier generations.
In the end, the Iggerot Moshe leans towards prohibiting this hetter mechirah due to the likelihood that it would destroy Shabbat, unless there are severe restrictions and there is no other choice. Refer to the lengthy responsum itself.
