Is Work Permitted On Shabbat | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

If you are Jewish currently, there's no question whatsoever. You are not allowed to violate Shabbat for any job in the world, unless your job is saving lives. Literally, you're a doctor or a surgeon of some kind. Uh you know, something that has to do with saving lives on a regular basis. If it's not, if you're just, let's say, I don't know, some type of engineer or sanitation department or whatever regular job you have, there is no permission whatsoever for you to violate the Tawra and violate Shabbat. No permission. So, you have to tell your job, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to work on Friday's uh past afternoon, let's say 12:00, 1:00 in the afternoon cuz I got to get home for Shabbat. And pray to Hashem that they let you do it. And even if they don't, you do it anyway. I have a guy that uh years ago, maybe six years ago, he was working at AT&T and before he met me, he was an atheist. After three lectures, he was already keeping Mitzvot. But he had a problem with Shabbat. Why? Because the company he was working for at the time, uh AT&T uh had a schedule with a where a uh you know, he would work on Shabbat. That was a schedule they gave him. He would work every Shabbat. And so he would keep Shabbat on Friday night, but then he would go to work on on Saturday. Because he said, "If you don't come in," he asked him, "Can you let me go on Shabbat?" And he said, "No, you have to work at your schedule uh you know, you you have to get uh to work, you know." So after that, he told me, "What do I do?" I told him, "You don't show up. You can't work on Shabbat. You can't." He said, "Yeah, but they're going to fire me." I said, "No, don't fire you if they fire." He goes, "I want to eat." I said, "Hashem is the one that's going to decide whether you eat." It took him a little while to get the guts to do it. Uh but one day he decided that he's not going to go. He asked the boss, "Can I take off Shabbat?" The boss rejected him again. So he just simply didn't show up on mut Shabbat. He turned on his phone and a bunch of messages. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? The next he figured that when he goes back to work that next day, Sunday, he's going to get fired. He walked into the office into the thing and he sat at his desk for a little bit before going on the field and then the boss came to him and said, "Where were you yesterday?" He said, "I told you. I told you I can't work on Shabbat." He says, "Listen, don't ever do that again. I'm going to fire you." And he had again the courage to say, "Listen, it's not about you. It's I'm not trying to go against you. I'm just saying I can't work on Shabbat. It's my religion." And the guy was nasty to him, saying, "Listen, you do that again, I'm going to fire you." So, the conversation ended in that way. The next week, again, he didn't show up. Again, he didn't show up. The uh boss called him a few more times, not as much as the week before. The next day, he said, "You did it again. Listen, I'm I'm g I'm giving you one last chance. You're a good guy. I like you. You do good work, but I'm going to fire you if you keep doing it." The next week, he did it again. Boss was on vacation. Didn't say nothing. He was on vacation. Next week he did it again. He was on vacation again. The next week when the boss was back, he came back. He did it again. No calls this time. What happened? Boss didn't say nothing anymore. After 3 months, he was already keeping Shabbat order for a few months. And the boss didn't tell him anything anymore. And after about 3 months, Hashem gave him some success in a few different things. A few customers want to do business with him. He ended up opening his own company, you know, made ended up making a lot more money for honoring the Shabbat who gave a lot of promise. So that's the thing. If you're a Jew, there's no permission whatsoever for you to violate Shabbat. Not by a minute, not by an hour, not by nothing. No permission. If you're not Jewish and you want to convert, then obviously you have to make arrangements for you to change somewhere down the road. But you don't have to quit your job now. you don't have to quit your job now because you're technically you're not obligated to keep Shabbat uh cuz you're not Jewish. So, uh but if you're a Jew, you have to uh keep Shabbat 100%. Thank you for 1 2 3
