» paper_turtle - Hungry on the Sabbath
In response to Bringing this back (Phil) posted by Migisi:
Work was forbidden on the Sabbath--still is, for very Orthodox Jews. Eating was not forbidden, but the gathering of food was. Those who had no food were not forbidden to gather enough on Friday (before sundown) to see then through the Sabbath.
Even among very Orthodox Jews, exceptions were/are made is case of extreme hardship.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
