Or how about drafting a law which makes it illegal for your car to belch huge black clouds of black smoke?<BR/><BR/>The version of the law that I would like to see would be to pick a 24 hour period (which onw could change weekly). This way, even Sabbath-obsevent Hebs could go places Saturday nights.<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-49730118449932052672007-05-09T09:35:00.000+03:002007-05-09T09:35:00.000+03:00yehudah - yes I agree with the unstated objective....yehudah - yes I agree with the unstated objective. <BR/><BR/>It is, but I guess the driver would pick one day and that day he would have to take the bus/train or whatever.

If you were not religious , what day would you give up your car? if you drove to work every day, as many people do, or your job included driving, as a delivery person for example, what day would you not go to work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-73486930522673430092007-05-09T06:05:00.000+03:002007-05-09T06:05:00.000+03:00the passuk does not include keilim.the passuk does not include keilim.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-76040266978419932882007-05-09T00:40:00.000+03:002007-05-09T00:40:00.000+03:00לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה כָל-מְלָאכָה אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וּבִתֶּך...לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה כָל-מְלָאכָה אַתָּה וּבִנְךָ וּבִתֶּךָ, עַבְדְּךָ וַאֲמָתְךָ וּבְהֶמְתֶּךָ, וְגֵרְךָ, אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ<B> </B>ומכוניתךyaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.com
