The use of a Shabbos Goy is legal technicality -not philosophical statement. <BR/>The guy who answered the questions for me also pointed out that from a purely humanitarian perspective, a shabbos goy (i.e. a cleaning lady or the like that is payed to come in the whole week) is a very moral thing, we're giving her money and a steady job!Mottelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582397390892396507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-1164143175165109452006-11-21T13:06:00.000-08:002006-11-21T13:06:00.000-08:00Explain how part of the beauty of this world is bo...Explain how part of the beauty of this world is boundaries and how everyone has their place, their unique mission.<BR/><BR/>There is a difference between Jews and non-Jews. <BR/><BR/>By them taking offense, its they who are assuming that one is LESSER, when thats not what WE actually believe. Furthermore, what do they want? To keep Shabbos, too?!<BR/><BR/>A non-Jew who helps a Jew is partaking in the whole Moshiach vision, how non-Jews will be a part in making our mission complete(and in this way, we're helping them, too! - get it?).<BR/><BR/>You have to make it sound like a beautiful empowering thing, because, at the root - it is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-1164135675847418512006-11-21T11:01:00.000-08:002006-11-21T11:01:00.000-08:00How would you answer that question?How would you answer that question?Mottelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582397390892396507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-1164065016644861802006-11-20T15:23:00.000-08:002006-11-20T15:23:00.000-08:00It was rather odd -he viewed the idea of a 'Shabbo...It was rather odd -he viewed the idea of a 'Shabbos Goy' being morally reprehensible, since we are in essence asking him to due something that we can not do.Mottelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582397390892396507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-1164064438907417432006-11-20T15:13:00.000-08:002006-11-20T15:13:00.000-08:00I'm curious about the question that was asked.
