On Friday 28.07.16, at noon today, the representatives of the religious council in Haifa also arrived at the Bat Galim Promenade area in the city of Haifa in order to install and arrange the "Shabbath mixing threads", spread along the Bat Galim Promenade in Haifa. The photographer of the website "Hai Pa" wandering around the city of Haifa captured with his lens and brings you here exclusive photos from the installation of "Shabbath Mixing Threads" on the Bat Galim Promenade...
But did you even know what the "Shabbat mixing thread" is?
Wires are the aesthetic hazard of Shabbat in the city of Haifa as well, did you know that for dozens of kilometers throughout the city of Haifa and in the country as a whole, wires are stretched that are attached to pillars, which mark the mobile "borders" of the city.
The majority of the public in the city of Haifa and in Israel as a whole, who are not religious and do not observe Shabbat, do not know at all that above their heads and along tens of thousands of kilometers throughout the city of Haifa and the country, wires are stretched that are attached to posts that actually mark the "borders" of the city. According to the Halacha, doing work on Shabbat is prohibited, and our sages listed 39 forbidden jobs, one of which is the removal of movable property (from a set of keys to a cart) from the possession of the individual to the possession of the many. Since it is permissible to shake the objects on Shabbat only in the house or in the yard, the Jews thought of a patent that would circumvent the difficulty or the Durbanan ban, and the religious council within the boundaries of the city of Haifa made sure to network the entire city of Haifa by stretching strings between pillars. This is how the authority of the individual was bypassed - the area practically became one huge yard in which you can shake everything without a distance limit.
If you just raise your eyes while walking along the Bat Galim Promenade or driving along the streets of Haifa and the beaches in the city, you simply cannot help but come across them and meet them.
