They used a key on the Sabbath to change the operation of the elevator so they would not have to press buttons on the elevator? Sounds like more work so less observant, but I guess with most religions it is the thought that counts.
- chabad360 5y agoIt's likely the elevator would be set by default to sabbath mode, unless someone specifically pressed the button to go to a specific floor. Action is (arguably) more important than thought in Judaism.
- 83457 5y agoWith that in mind, why are they using the elevator at all? The fact that there is a difference between using and operating is very convenient.
- evanb 5y agoNot GP but I think the keys were to enter the dorm building without scanning an electronic FOB or ID card, not for the elevator.
- TchoBeer 5y agoYou misunderstand. The key is to get into the room (as opposed to the presumably electronic locks which are usually used) and the elevator is set beforehand.
