Q. An individual who was always careful and machmir (stringent) to eat only products of Cholov Yisroel, but due to the fact that he became unemployed during the pandemic crisis he can’t afford the high prices of these products and needs to at least until times get better to eat Cholov Akum. Does he have to do Hatoras Nedorim (an act of absolution of wows done in front of a court)?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is better if he does Hattoras Nedorim.
However, his Rabbi and friends should try to help him, guide and counsel him how to receive economic relief so he can keep consuming only Cholov Yisroel.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a
