[Fiona F.]

I have a lot of Jewish friends and they tell me all the time the things they can't do on Sabbath and all the ways they have to get around it. For example, they turn on the lights before sundown on Friday and they leave it on all day Saturday. In Jewish institutions, the elevators automatically stop on every floor so they don't have to push a button. I even knew one woman who worked out a system of hand signals so she can tell her non-Jewish roommate to change the TV channels for her. I don't think that's what God had in mind when he said, you should do no work. I don't think he meant for everyone to find little ways to circumvent the rules. Has anyone thought to themselves that maybe these antiquated are no longer applicable in our times and perhaps should be changed or eliminated?
