Reply To: driving to Shul on Shabbos?

Look, for certain people, driving to shule is a step forward. We had friends who lived far from the community, and they gradually became more interested in Shabbat and frumkeit. In the beginning, they drove in on Shabbat and left before Shabbat was over. With encouragement from us and others in the community, they eventually started coming for all of Shabbat. Eventually, they sold their house and moved into the community. They have continued their growth over the years; they themselves are now encouraging others to take the same steps themselves. So, perhaps those you see driving on Shabbat are making their way forward as well!
