MODERATORS
Some Orthodox Jews believe that using electricity violates the prohibition on lighting a fire on the Sabbath, others believe it's fine to do so but don't as part of being pious and respecting Sabbath, others maintain it's a form of doing work and thus prohibited, and some believe it's prohibited only because of popular tradition but with no backing in the Torah.
tbh back in the day if I was cold and Jewish on the Sabbath I'd light a goddamn fire
Even back then the loophole was "keep yesterday's fire going" as if that's somehow less work
I sort of like the idea of 1 day a week where you have to touch grass to entertain yourself and move around to keep warm.
