Without knowing anything of the religious rules at play here, could you have an elevator that incorporates both? Eg. default is to travel in Sabbath mode but non-religious residents could still use the buttons to override it to a specific floor if they desire? Obviously you still have the increased electrical consumption but you remove the inconvenience of stopping every floor for those who aren’t required to.
- tguvot 5y agoProbably it will make elevator non-kosher...
- TchoBeer 5y agoProbably not. It's not the elevator that's nonkosher, it's pressing the buttons.
- tguvot 5y agoDe Jure - yes. You are right. In reality (in Israel, in this case), many people come up with their own versions/interpretation/complications of Jewish law. As anecdote, I knew one semi-religious family (masorati but coming from very famous ultra-orthodox lineage). They won't cook on Sabbath; they won't join friends to BBQ - because Sabbath and you can't make fire but they will operate all the other appliances and will drive around in car.
- iso1631 5y agoSo you're waiting on floor 3 for the elevator to go down, someone on floor 4 gets in and presses the "skip floor" and goes to the ground.
