Please note I don’t mean in anyway to be disrespectful to those who lead a more traditional life and note their path might just be less bumpy than mine it’s just I want to state how I see it. I believe I am a man of the book and now. Here are just a few examples (below) of such a beliefs in action.
(1) Cell Phone on Shabbos- Emergencies can occur in an instant and thank G-D man has created this device to alert us on a moments notice. Therefore I feel it’s important to stay in touch with this world as we look to the higher world.
(2) Driving The Car On Shabbos- One doesn’t have to get sick walking in all types of conditions to proof their loyalty to G-D and with electric cars there really isn’t the kindle of fire which would delay such a trip.
(3) Holiday Time- I believe now that we know when a day begins and ends we can celebrate most observances in basically 24 hours instead of 48. I also believe that two days of celebration should be cut short if our brothers and sisters are fighting for their life’s in the holy land.
FOOTNOTE- I felt compelled to write this piece because of the unprecedent evil attack of Hamas on a Jewish holiday.
