Maybe you could ask a question?

In Israel it's illegal for a business to employ Jews during the Sabbath, many places that are open on the sabbath either pay fines for hiring jews or hire non-jewish russian immigrants or Israeli-Palestinians.

The ten commandments actually forbid employing gentiles to do craftswork on the sabbath

So all Israelis are pissing off god. Good thing they don't have a hell.

e: serious post, the whole gamut of ways that observant Jews get around the 'not working on the sabbath' rule is pretty ingenious. I've heard about things like lights/tv turning on via timers, so technically it just happens to be on and you're watching it so you didn't work to switch it on, and elevators stopping on every floor etc.

Kind of seems like a bit of a cop-out, unless the Jewish god appreciates that kind of ingenuity.

If he's truly jewish I bet he appreciates some rule-lawyering.

Though reading the OT one would get the impression that he doesn't, at all, but hey we didn't spend years studying bible fan fiction so what do we know.

You could if you want to go to jew hell or whatever the gently caress happens when you disobey the commandments as a jew. Because you're a jew. If you're jewish on your mother's side you're 100% jewish no matter what you have going on with your dad's side.

I think Jewish hell is just being "away" from god. Which I guess means you live out the rest of eternity stuck as the protagonist of a torch song if god decides your wanting to turn on the tv is grounds to break it off.

*Full disclosure, I'm Jewish in that at some point a Jew hosed another Jew in Lithuania and then that resultant Jew moved to America and hosed a German and made a bunch of lady Jews and one of them is my mom and also an aunt invited me to synagogue a couple times. So I'm no expert on... basically anything.*

It doesn't explicitly say that; it's all in the official interpretation of the shabbat law. So much of this poo poo is just a bunch of learned rabbis getting together and interpreting some weird rear end ancient law, or reinterpreting the medieval interpretation of some weird rear end ancient law, so that a judgment can be reached on some contemporary matter... that really no one but the Orthodox worry about anyways.

You could make a device that starts a fire and is activated by your voice, therefor you must not speak on the sabbath.

You could make that same device be activated by sensing human respiration and body heat, therefor you must be dead on the sabbath.

no as in electronic switches occasionally generate small sparks

but then again theres special electric sabbath stoves and sabbath refrigerators with timers and poo poo that dont have lights too
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbath_mode
With some Shabbat mode ovens that are controlled using a keypad to set the temperature, there is a random delay triggered after a button is pressed before the temperature change takes place.

This is what happens when a society full of religious people becomes more technologically advanced than the primitive society that first came up with their holy laws, you get old-rear end religious leaders holding stupid debates to figure out how the laws apply to stuff that did not exist hundreds of years ago

All that rule lawyering poo poo is probably what pissed off god and made all the bad poo poo happen to the jewish people, to tell the truth. If I were god I made some simple to follow rules such as don't loving make a fire on one day of the week and some little jerk was like "I made this fire the other day and it just happens to still be here" I'd turn his rear end into a pillar of salt instantly. God is merciful.

Isn't Hanukkah all about the time when the lamp had enough oil for one day, but lasted eight? That's the kind of poo poo that classifies as a miracle in Jewish terms. Think of the savings!

e: There was also Jesus feeding those people with a tiny amount of food. I'm sensing a Jewish trend here.

over here its a thing for muslim boys to work for a jew on saturdays and do dome stuff for them (even though iirc the thorah explicitly forbids that kinds of stuff)

its also ironical to work for a jew if the most common classroom insult is "juif"

a typical jew makes his lair under a bridge and waits for gentiles to pass so that they may devour them. gentiles can appease the jew and pass the bridge if they leave a credit card number or a woody allen dvd.

Contrary to popular insults, criticising the state of Israel does not make you anti semitic and actually, branding all criticism of Israel as 'anti semitic' in fact lumps all negative acts committed by Israel as 'Jewish' acts...
