The phones are ringing and the paper work is mounting up how can you ever get even a moment to observe our faith let alone take off a day? It appears there is no escape and that’s when the exit door reappears. For when we make time for G-D by observing the holidays in some way G-D will make time for us. It’s not that the mounds and phones will stop ringing when we’re away but some how they’ll be more manageable then logic might dictate. For if G-D can create the world in 6 days surely we can take a few hours or day off and a new world won’t be created on our desk.
El Al an Israel was open 7 days a week including Shabbos because it “couldn’t afford to close”. When a challenge was made to close during the Sabbath and see how business would be effected El Al decided to give it a try. Not only did revenue stay the same but the business actually did better then when it was open on Shabbos. This doesn’t make much sense to the “logically human mind” but we must realize somethings are bigger then our mind can accept.
Now only if I can follow my own rule.
