Israeli soldiers get Shabbatphone

Story posted on: February 16, 2007. Filed in: others.

You know how the Pharisees were in Jesus' time, nitpicking on everybody else who could not live up to the laws that they concocted instead of looking at the heart. 2,000 years later, things have not changed much as evident by the bunch of moralists and self-righteous bigots around the world. The Shabbatphone deals with a loophole withn it comes to minimizing Shabbat desecration by military soldiers conscripted in the Israeli army. Some soldiers question the halachic permissibility of making phone calls during the Sabbath, but the Shabbatphone will lay any argument to rest as dialing and various electronic operations are performed indirectly.
