#5804 - Time To Tell The Truth
Question
Kvod Rabbenu Shlit’a.
Can one use a great looking box to contain a gift that was bought in a cheap store, so it would look great and expensive? How about if the box also has a name of a very expensive store?
Answer
One should avoid doing the above since our Torah forbids in many ways and prohibitions, the adherence and engagement of false pretenses and deceptions when dealing with others.
