On the Friday before Christmas, I went to a kosher Chinese potluck. The host forgot to break the chopsticks apart before Shabbos, so we each ate with a double set .

I always found it a little ironic when I heard it explained to me that marital relations were encouraged on the Jewish Sabbath.
From my perspective: When God created the world, He worked for 6 days and rested on the 7th. He sanctified the 7th day and commanded us to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest also.
Now what kind of work did He rest from? Creating.
And what is more potentially creative than marital relations? Posts: 1522 | Registered: Nov 2005

Good thing He gave us details as to what actually constitutes "rest" for us, and didn't leave it to our human intellects to deduce.
In any case, the "creation" that He does and that which humans can do share little in common except the fact that we assign both the same term (in English, anyway).

Marital relations are okie-dokie on Shabbos. Shabbos observant Jews can not play their Barry White albums on the stereo on Shabbos, but there is no prohibition against crooning the tunes a cappella. Posts: 10397 | Registered: Jun 2005

Now I have this mental image of Barry White manifesting in darkness, in Chaos, and looking around in shock and surprise while God puts on some work gloves and says, "I'll send you back later. Now sing."

Tom, you are a big nut. I think Louis Armstrong is a more logical choice.
