cool, I never knew that they had electricity way back when the jewish religious laws were being written...
I take it that they didn't have a problem with the lights already being on on the sabath before they installed the motion sensors?
they should just evict them...

They must have to stay in on the Sabbath because I am sure that street lights get switched on seven days a week, so why worry about the landing lights.
Don't forget, these are the same civilised people who chose to mutilate their sons in the name of "Tradition"

So; no lights, no telly, no mobile phone, no cooker, no heating or hot water, no computer, no timer switches, no torches when the lights are off.
Hang on, is this practised by all Jews? or as it says above, just, "This couple's religious code?"
These are also the same civilised people who deem it fit to slit animals
throats, rather than stun them humanely.
Funny how the RSPCA don't want to get involved when it's religious.
If you or I were to do that, I think we would feel the full force of the law.
Still, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; (Unless it's the UK)

What makes you think that it is less humane than the way the British slaughter an animal?
An Orthodox Jew will not "work" during the Sabbath, which starts at sunset on the Friday and lasts until sunset on the Saturday.
I worked for a firm which purchased its IT equipment from a firm run by Orthodox Jews. If something went wrong with the computer system on a Friday, there wasn't any point phoning them as they wouldn't come out, in case they couldn't get home by sunset.
I guess the couple mentioned feel that, when the motion sensor turns the light on, their movement is "work" and consequently breaking the Orthodox interpretation of the Jewish Law.
That's what I don't get. The whole "don't work on the sabbath" idea comes from Genesis. This says that God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh. Surely an automatic device does not involve work, and to deny an automatic device is to abstain from what God created in the preceding six days... surely worse?
Now, I've seen that interpreted in various ways. There's a Jewish chap at work who is happy to come in on a Saturday whenever it's required, but will not write or operate a computer. That works out fine because he works in a team so can just offer his ideas and dictate odd things that need to be written down.
So it goes very dark one Saturday afternoon and the heavens opens. Throwing it down in buckets!
They decide to go to the front door to see how bad it is and trip over the corner of the carpet.
Result?
One compo claim for breaching H&S rules.

Why is being orthodox so unorthodox?
I just love the idea of God looking down and preparing a lightning bolt just because someone turns on the lights on a Sunday
Does he actually know about light switches? What about Part P?

If you took home a Jewish woman would you want the lights on
