@therealmelindastrauss: Replying to @kelseynotchelsey24 I appreciate all your questions and I understand sometimes the things I explain can be confusing. But just remember, just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it wrong, or “too much work”, or a way of getting around the laws. Most of the time, we’re trying to find ways to work WITH the laws so we can live in this modern world, travel, etc. #orthodoxjewishlife #jewishtiktok #jewtok #nostupidquestions #cruisetok

People keep forgetting that you’re always just trying to do your best, they aren’t heaven or hell situations.

No matter which way you look at it, it’s cherry picking what works for you. I don’t understand how you do the picking and choosing of to follow vs not

What about automatic toilets? What if that’s the only option for a bathroom

But by that logic, the elevator is out as well. It will use more electricity with the added weight of you to lift. It might not be much, but it’s more

I was on a cruise once, and some people in my family asked for a pat-down instead of going through the metal detectors every time we were at port.

As a fellow NY’er - how has the post 9/11 world changed how Shabbos is, with metal detectors being more prevalent everywhere esp here in NY?

But what about airport security if you travelling on Shabbas? Or will you just avoid travelling on the day?

Most elevators since the 90’s use the same proximity/motion/occupancy sensors for the door. There’s all kinds of lights blinking in the control board

I’m sorry if this sounds stupid. What happens if a mistake is made? Do you carry on? Do you speak a prayer? Is it acknowledged?

ok, so let me understand, you are fine using electronic things that are already on, but you do your best not to add to that by sparking more?

Do you feel like there’s any judgment on this? For example if a known Jewish family used the detector do other Jewish people judge them for it?
