Shabbat Elevator - Criticism

Criticism

There are three categories of criticism against using a Shabbat elevator. First, even in Shabbat mode the user is indirectly violating Shabbat. Second, even if it is altogether permitted, a healthy person should not resort to circumventing the laws of Shabbat by performing an otherwise prohibited activity in a technically permissible manner. Finally, they are inefficient due to their continuous energy usage.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
