Where I live there's no need for that. We have things called thermostats. However, since turning lights off or on is forbidden on the Sabbath, orthodox Jews sometimes hire a goy to come in and do that. I also learned very recently what the difference is between a regular elevator and a Sabbath elevator. The latter stops at every floor so there is no need to perform the forbidden work of pressing the elevator button. They don't seem to have any trouble pressing buttons on Saturday over Gaza. The guns and launchers don't launch themselves. Neither does Hamas, so I guess they're jews too. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
