Rabbi singer, you spoke about not entering a Christian church as a jew because of its "idolatry" does it not say in Torah there are few pursuits more noble than caring for the widow and the orphan, I lost my parents very young, I live with and care for an 83 year old elderly widow,Torah doesn't specify Jewish widows and orphans, she's a wonderful kind and generous women, her last sibling, her brother passed at 80, she wanted to attend a catholic mass for her brother, I have a mezuzah only on my bedroom as I live in her house and she's wheelchair bound, I wheeled her into the church before any services started, and left waiting until the masses left, I then went in nobody would talk to Me in adorned in a yamaka, and wheeled her back to the car before explaining why I couldn't attend the mass, I have broken the law by bringing a widow to her church for a service for her deceased brother? Because you said you wouldn't enter an evangelical church to debate. Have I broken a mitzvah of hashem?

It's a catch 22, to tell an 83 year old widow in a wheelchair suffering dimentia, deny to wheel her in and out of a church bc I'm Jewish? Or oblige her wishes at the end of her life to attend a service of her beliefs,

You are doing her a dis-favour by helping her perform idolatry, on the contrary do everything in your power to help her cleanse herself from Idolatry.
