Following a ruling by the High Court of Justice permitting the opening of grocery stores and supermarkets in Tel Aviv, MK (Yahadut Hatorah) Uri Maklev announced �ten High Court decision will not cancel the Jewish People�s observance of Shabbos!�
Maklev condemned Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai for being an activist against Shabbos, explaining former Tel Aviv Mayor Meir Dizengoff realized the significance of Shabbos as �a sign of solidarity for the Jewish People� while he is working in earnest to trample Shabbos.
Maklev adds �The High Court ruling delivers a blow to halacha, the Jewish character of the nation as well as the religious status quo which has been observed since the establishment of the state�.
He concluded �The High Court leaves no other option to legislators other than to legislate a law to bypass its ruling to preserve Shabbos as the ultimate value and we will fight for it�.

working in earnest to trample Shabbos Whilst not a ????, yet I would highly recommend to both the T.A. Mayor as well as these judges, to keep a good eye to look over their shoulder to make sure ??? doesn’t trample them, as has happened to others in history.
Is imposing shemiras Shabbos really the way forward?
