Reply To: Inviting Non-Jewish Co-Workers To A Simcha?

I heard that some poskim allow inviting non-Jews for Yom Tov if one does not cook at all on Yom Tov.

Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach says that the custom of old was to invite non-Jewish dignitaries to the Pesach Seder. This was apparently important to promote good relations between the Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors or hosts (see Shulchan Shlomo, Yom Tov Vol. 1, p. 207, note 8). The Minchat Yitzchak (3:8) is lenient regarding people are in the process of becoming Jewish.
