kindly yet convincing tones, "only a
few days ago you issued an order
that no fire could be kindled in the
entire length and breadth of the land,

is being disobeyed. But Moses, our
master, peace be upon him, more than
1,300 years ago, commanded the peo-
ple of Israel, saying, "Ye shall not
kindle a fire in all your dwelling-
I places on the Sabbath day,' and to
this very day, no matter what the
cause or the excuse, his command is
obeyed by all the Jews. And yet you
