Wed, 1 July 2009  First of all, you can find Rich on Twitter here. Good news from Minnesota. Strange doings in Detroit area city hall. The human right to have apartment building without motion sensor lights in the hallway. An Australian former priest has an strange defense to sexual assault on a child. Oklahoma musings. And much, much more. Comments[2] |
there must be an edict in Jewish law to prevent Jews from making their own life more comfortable.
the couple's problem could've been a non-issue if they only regarded the light as a life and death issue, which precedes the law of the Sabbath.
and that's not the only solution!
Jewish law allows to employ a non-Jew to wait in the hall on weekends, turning the light on and off as needed, preventing Jews from building a fire and desecrating the Sabbath. (building a fire is work, work is not allowed on the Sabbath, fire=electricity, turning on an electical device=creating new fire=work, therefore not allowed)
no, the solution is not hiring someone to sit in the hall for 24 hours on weekends, the solution is bringing a religious figure to officialy convert the motion sensor to a religion other than Judaism.
(declaring the sensor atheist won't do as it is possible to be a religiously Jewish atheist)
sorry if double-posted, I had a 'bad captcha' error.

"Prayer stations?!" Good bloody gods! And didn't Jesus, in the Bible, say to pray in private, out of the sight of other people?
