EL Al Jewish Sabbath ban sought
(snippets from the story below): * Israel's El Al airline has come under pressure from the country's powerful Ultra-Orthodox Jews to legally pledge not to fly on the Jewish Sabbath. *
The airline angered the community by making several flights after sunset on Friday - the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath - in an attempt to catch up after an airport workers' strike.
Interesting. Perhaps in one of my previous posts I should have used the word Orthodox rather than Fundimentalist.
Personally I think there probably is a difference, Ultra-Orthodox (and Orthodox) sticking close to 'The Rules' and Fundamentalists ...
*looks plaintive* OK, Someone tell me the difference? I am sure there is one - mostly the difference I think between those who apply The Rules to themselves & their community versus those who seek to apply The Rules to everyone.
