"SOME JEWS CRITICIZED JESUS FOR HEALING ON THE SABBATH. BUT WAS IT AGAINST JEWISH LAW TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH, TO DO SOMETHING KIND AND COMPASSIONATE AND WONDERFUL? NO. ACCORDING TO MOST AUTHORITIES ON JEWISH LAW, IT WAS NOT UNLAWFUL TO DO SUCH GOOD ON THE LORD'S DAY…

IN JULY OF 1985, ETHIOPIAN JEWS WERE RESCUED ON THE SABBATH WITH THE FULL CONCURRENCE OF THE CHIEF RABBI MORDECHAI…HE SAID IT WAS NOT ONLY PERMISSIBLE BUT A COMMANDMENT TO DO SO…

HOWEVER, SOME TIME LATER ORTHODOX JEWS ENDANGERED PEOPLE'S LIVES BY THROWING ROCKS AT CARS THAT DRIVE BY ON MAIN STREETS NEAR THEIR HOUSING AREAS ON THE SABBATH. NOT WANTING THEIR CHILDREN GROWING UP SEEING PEOPLE DESECRATING GOD'S HOLY DAY BY DRIVING THEIR CARS, THEY WANT TO FORCE THEIR OWN VIEW OF OBEYING A COMMANDMENT, KEEPING THE SABBATH DAY HOLY, BY DISREGARDING ANOTHER COMMANDMENT, THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

IN REALITY, THE SABBATH IS A GREAT DAY FOR HEALING. WHEN WE GO TO CHURCH EACH SABBATH, PREPARED TO TRULY WORSHIP OUR FATHER AND OUR SAVIOR, WE ARE HEALED. WE PARTAKE OF THE SACRAMENT AND WE ARE WHOLE AGAIN."
