and I promise to do so if they shut down ..." Rabbi Schlesinger is no better than Al Capone. He should be charged with spiritual racketeering.

...and according to the new law, if someone wants to display "kosher" on the store, he has to also get local rabinate certificate. So simply just revoke their hehsherim, which will bankrupt them, it's Jerusalem.

So let them remind everyone; let it be a reminder in our hearts. Last I checked, the 10 commandments included observing Shabbat.

Then do it with love,without forcing.

Force poeple to live a certain lifestyle with no great love for anyone else but themselves--These "enforcers" can come to the Market but refuse IDF service---True hypocrites!

While the haredim do not contribute to the Israeli society, military, education and economy, they are wasting financial funds needed for social programs and the military and cause bad PR world-wide. Israeli voters, its up to you if you want your children harassed by haredim and haredim taking over, OR NOT!

To have a kosher certificate you must observe the Sabbath, however, not all the vendors and/or clients are Jewish. Those who wish to be accepted as kosher should close for the Sabbath, but, the entire market need not be closed. Remember Israel is a democracy not a theocracy.

Humans need a day of rest

Only Jews need to "rest" on Shabbat, others can rest on any day.

to rest , 24 hours .

or lose your certificate. Of course we have terrible traffic on Friday afternoon so getting home can be a nightmare.

consult your Luach for the starting time It's more than 24 hours, enjoy your ulceer

Shut those puppies down. No excuse that you stay open in opposition of the evil intentions of the politicians. The priority is to show you love G-d and accept the laws of Torah so that you can choose life and a blessing and not curse your children to live in a nation of evil and war. We already have that because of choices in the past. Fix it. Just do it. "Priorities" to love of G-d and your family's safety. for those who say they accept the ten commandments, did you work or put one to work for you on Shabbat in the land of Israel?

You said that they need a day of rest , they have it , a day is NOT more than 24 hours . Enjoy your stupidity , Ben of what ?

resorting to name calling It's a 'JEWISH DAY", which on Shabbat, as I had previsiously explained, is moe than 25 hours Are you making to make yourself out for an idiot, if so ,, you're doing a good job of it

Read post #14, maybe it will sink in

In your # 8 you wrote that animals work 7 days a week . Not allowed by Torah as "your slaves and animals should rest ....." so when you said that humans need a day of rest , this day was also not Tora laws related , not necessarely the Shabbat . I know this # 14 since years , not a reference at all

What time the buses stop running on Friday, what time do they resume operations on Saturday ? That's beryond 24 hours, look at your wrist watch Ye gads you really are boring

You were WRONG , animals have to rest too . Only ignorants can write what you wrote . You certainly ignore that Charlie Chaplin has died , i'm living . But there are many living ben [ ben what ? ]

I'm ignoriong it !!

GOOD QUESTION, I'M IGNORING YOUR #18, I DIDN'T BOTHER TO OPEN IT

And inferior "people" need to write with capitals , so they think they are worth something , but they still are "effes", capitals or not .

ONCE A FOOL, ALWAYS A FOOL, YOU'RE THE PROOF !! Just to let you know, from hereon in, as soon as see your name, I will dump your trash unread

Some buses arrive well after the Shabbat begins , and leave before Shabbat ends [ 842 or 845 ]

Enjoy Shabbat. Its delightful and fabulous.

Israelis rest on Shabbat the country is getting into the weekend shabbat rest mode, gradually, of course. Its cool to see and experience really.

Israel is the only Jewish state and is the holy land. The divine promise "you will dwell securely in the land, with none to frighten you... a land of milk and honey..." all blessing come from Israel's enjoyment of Shabbat. Enjoy Shabbat! It is given go us to rejoice. The Shabbat rules allows us to get that spiritual and physical "high" from Shabbos from eating good food and spending time with people relaxing walks singing, sleeping, relations with spouse, what is a better way to enjoy such a great day as Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom. Enjoy and have joy and happy long long life.
