Is the Elevator Kosher?
Is the Elevator Kosher?
Like flipping a light switch, pressing an elevator button is considered the use of an electrical device. picked by chelcho 2 months ago

Well, that article was informative for me. I learned another reason why I don't like religion and all the restrictions/headaches it tends to bring with it.

I remember hearing about this debate over twenty years ago. At the time, Israeli elevator call switches were being replaced with ones that were supposed to "solve" the challenge.

Instead of making a connection (considered "work") these switches broke an existing connection (think "relay") which then resulted in the elevator being called.

It's an eternal battle between those wishing to be true to their religion but wanting to massage those aspects of it that are inconvenient to them.

But then you can't let go of the button once you press it or you'll remake the electrical contact and GOD WILL PUNISH YOU!!!!!!111

I wonder if these people ever stand back for a second and realize how utterly ridiculous they sound.
