Marvels of 'Keeping Shabbos'
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1970, JTA, Inc.)
The ultra-religious group in Jeru-
salem has been waging a strong
battle to keep busses from running
in Jerusalem on Saturday. So far,
apparently, they have succeeded.
It is interesting in this connec-
tion that Mayor Lindsay of New
York has taken a step towards
"keeping Shabbos." It is on a
limited scale thus far, confined to
Fifth Ave. In a 15 block area,
from 42nd St. to 57th St. on Satur-
day, all motor traffic is banned
between the hours of 10 a.m. and
5 p.m.
The plan in its first tryout proved
so satisfactory that now other sec-
tions are clamoring that it be ex-
tended to their areas. Who knows?
We may get the old Jewish Shab-
bos back again. Our prediction is
that it will immediately greatly
increase the attendance at the
Sabbath services of Temple
Emanu-El on Fifth Ave. and other
synagogues of the area.

ponents tried to defeat them by
charging that they rode on the
Sabbath.
The Jewish Sabbath is very
strict, too. You can't even carry
money on the Sabbath. I remem-
ber in my young years how
severely I felt it. I used to like
to carry a thousand or two thou-
sand dollars in my pocket and
show off a bit with it to friends.
But on account of the Sabbath,
I could only do it on Wednesday
or Thursday, but not on Satur-
day.
I remember the story they used
to tell about the little boy on the
East Side. Walking along the
street, he saw a quarter on the
ground. But it was Saturday. He
couldn't pick up money on Satur-
day. So he puts his foot on the
quarter and plans to stand the rest
of the day until the stars come out.
When the stars come out, the Sab-
bath ends. Well, as he is standing
there, a man comes along and see-
ing the kid blocking the traffic,
gives him such a whack, the young
fellow says, "I see stars." So he
feels the Sabbath is over and he
picks up the coin.
What I am afraid of is that the
air pollution will create such smog
that it will become impossible to
see stars and know when the Sab-
bath is over.
Mayor Lindsay may have ini-
tiated something that may spread
from coast to coast and the New
York mayor, never a hidebound
partisan, may find himself swept
into the White House as the nomi-
nee of the "Keep Shabbos" party.
Mayor Lindsay sometimes puts
on a yarmulk% but he is not an
Orthodox Jew and not motivated by
religious reasons. He simply wants
to establish a few cases of relief
from the air pollution and traffic
congestion which choke the city:
a few areas where people can
again breathe God's fresh air and
can walk without hazard.
There is a third and perhaps
more serious affliction which we
owe to the automobile. It has
dulled, if not entirely destroyed
the neighborhood sense.
