SHabat it is serious.
SHabat it is serious.
New 2000 in Israel should be celebrated in advance.
JERUSALEM-MOSKVA.
The ISRAELI government has given the world the next surprise. While
Scientists argue on when to meet a new millenium - on the night of
On January, 1st 2000 or 2001, in Israel all is solved for a long time: to meet
New millenium to not orthodox Jews and tourists from the European
The countries it is necessary at night with 29 for December, 30th, 1999. This
Sensational news was informed the correspondent "Today" by the official
The representative of the ministry of tourism of Israel.
The matter is that on December, 31st, 1999 drops out on Friday -
Sacred day for a religious Jew. On Friday evening begins
shabat which lasts see you in the evening Saturdays. In shabat the Jew has no
The rights to work, use means: to drive the car,
To watch TV. It is not necessary in shabat and to have fun. In shabat the Jew
Should devote itself to dialogue good luck, visit a synagogue and in a circle
Families to read sacred texts.
To force the Jew to work in shabat anybody has no right. Big
The population part piously adheres to tradition, that is why in the middle
Fridays the life in Israel fades. Are closed official and
Government agencies. In streets there are not enough cars. Because of
Problems with the personnel the majority of shops, benches do not work and
Restaurants - even if the owner of the enterprise or shop the person
Not religious, it is very difficult to find workers. Especially unsweetened
It is necessary the enterprises with a continuous cycle, including to hotels -
Though job in shabat also is paid for higher quotations,
The personnel always does not suffice.
As the Judaism is a cementing element Israeli
The society consisting in basic from the emigrants, Chassids -
Orthodox iudei - are influential force of a society. At all
Tolerations of Israelis (in Jerusalem all Christian are presented
Faiths and even Moslems) Israel - the state monoreligious.
Especially sharply it is shown in Jerusalem - spiritual capital
The countries and a city where the greatest quantity of Chassids is concentrated. In
Quarters of their compact residing of a rule are observed especially
Strictly: in shabat passing car can beat stones. The same
The fate threatens benches which trade in meat of dirty animals -
Pork, and to restaurants which will venture a tax of a dish from it.
For this reason with a meeting of the 2000 anniversary business A.D.
Is difficult. Judea never recognised the Christ in quality
The Messiahs. In Israel the chronology, there on a court yard 5760 year. And
Though the majority of Israelis live on a Gregorian calendar,
Formally Christian holidays those here are not.
As the basic celebrations on the occasion of approach of a new millenium
Have to Jerusalem, at the Christians, arrived to meet
New year to Jerusalem can arise weight of problems: owners of many
Hotels in Jerusalem adhere to orthodox traditions, and instead of
Noisy feast the unlucky pilgrims who have paid, by the way, quite good
Money (the majority of places in hotels for a long time skupleny speculators and
pereprodajutsja is not ten times more expensive almost than a face-value)
Will receive the idle lifts, the closed temples and empty roads.
