Couldn't she have hired some gentile to do the typing? Other than the "light a fire" thingy, I can't imagine Facebook being against any "work on the Sabbath" law. I'd actually propose that any minute spent on Facebook counts as some kind of indulgence for the purpose of work (Yes, I know, I'm mixing religions all willy-nilly now).
- tkahn6 16y agoActually that "light a fire thingy" applies to electronics. And for multiple reasons I highly doubt she hired a gentile to update her Facebook status (who would be reading it?).
- mhd 16y agoI know that it applies, so I just wondered (tongue in cheek) whether hiring a shabbos goy for Facebook updates would be, well, kosher.
- tkahn6 16y agoThat's a good question. I have 'orthodox' friends that have timers on their TVs to come on during Shabbat. I don't keep shabbat but that would seem to defeat the purpose IMO.
