Religious stuff is weird and this is one of the weirder ones. I wonder about all the observant that learned the eruv was basically defunct when those Rabbis went on the tour in the '80s. Did they feel bad about “breaking” this tradition or did they figure that because their leaders believed in it they were fine? I don’t really get the whole Shabbat thing other than it was an enforced day off and that fucking rocks. The whole not making fire so the oven needs to be left on from Fri-Sun or the elevator needs to stop on every floor up and down so no one has to push the button and “make fire”? That stuff is way weirder to me than making a psychological boundary that the faithful should stay inside on one day a week.
Jews been doin’ this shit for millennia though so they should just do their thing.
