- I'll never forget taking the elevator from our towering Jerusalem hotel room down to the lobby for breakfast one Saturday.
Not only could I not push the lobby button,
but the elevator stopped automatically on every floor.
I wondered if I would make it down for lunch.
When I ordered, I realized that the waitress was not writing down any orders;
even the most complicated ones.
Writing was "work" on the sabbath,
as was pushing elevator buttons....link
--I should have known there was a way to --as the rabbis say--
"build a fence around the law" of no regular elevators on the
sabbath.
Here it is below... it's a hack!
