Modi, there's people in the comments explaining why you can't use the elevator, Make them STOP LOL Thanks Modi, you get it. I just found you tonight & you had me crying. I needed that. Hugs
The prohibition of using electrical devices on Shabbat. Some authorities believe it's a Torah violation due to "building" or "completing" a device by turning it on. Others see it as a rabbinic prohibition of "creating something new" (molid). Additionally, there's a concept called "weekday activities" (uvdin de-chol), where certain actions are prohibited to preserve the special atmosphere of Shabbat. Despite differences in reasoning, all opinions agree that using electricity is forbidden on Shabbat.
It's ridiculous to say that "all opinions agree" about the electricity issue. Because activating an electrical circuit is none of those things. It is not "completing something new" because it is all the same stuff that was there before, nor is it "performing work" because it is actually reducing the amount of work a person has to perform.
In defense of the Shabbat elevator... it is the same din that stops us from pushing buttons on the elevator or flicking on a light that keeps us also from turning on social media, smart phones, TVs etc and actually forces us to spend Shabbes reconnecting with family, friends and God... so i appreciate a good laugh but i will stay with the Shabbes elevator, תודה
חייבת שלא להסכים. אם ללחוץ על קומה במעלית או על האור בחדר יגרום לך להתנתק מהמשפחה שלך אז משהו פה לא תקין. להבין את ההבדל בין עבודה לבין מנוחה יהיה מה שיקל מאוד על החיים של כולנו.
@PhoenixL0vee It only takes a small break from tradition before the whole world collapses. One elevator button, next thing you are throwing out your kippa and dancing on a pole.
don't forget the fridge and having your doorkey hanging form your waist, I see it as tradition more than anything, to each their own, live and let live
I couldn't agree more. I deal with so many of them at work, it's even to the point where I'll occasionally argue with them in Yiddish to see which ones can understand me.
I'm a (goy) Christian and believe that Mashiach has come already (but coming back) - but this is still some funny stuff. Saw the shabbat lifts when I was in Jerusalem on a shabbat.
What about if the lift had facial recognition and based on that knew what floor you wanted, so you have done absolutely nothing, been completely passive, would that be allowed?
It's a good question and would probably be debated, being that you're not actually completely passive - you're causing the machine to do whatver it does when it recognizes your face, simply by stepping inside. There are similar problems with hotels with all their automatic sensors that adjust the heat, turn lights and and doors on off open closed etc. it's a problem
They don't get to kvell about their sons who became doctors and married nice Jewish girls while kvetching about their sons who make Jewish jokes on TH-cam.
While, technically, you are right, that is not how it happened. Or where it happened. It was in Munich, in the early summer of 1919. Socialism failed to get established in Germany, and two attempts at a Soviet Republic in the former Kingdom of Bavaria had just epically failed. How bad was the failure? Two attempts at Socialism in Bavaria in one month. So a certain corporal who had served both those very short-lived governments was in a pretty crummy mood when he got in the lift to go home, only to discover that it was a Shabbas elevator, and that is when Adolf Hitler snapped and swore the oath for which we all know him. And did I mention that he was dumb and lazy and would never get a job?
A wise Jew from the Catskills once said that, when people are trying to wipe you out, you can do one of two things: play the victim, kvetch about it, and probably get wiped out, or you can deflate your wiper-outer types' egos with jokes and ridicule, and obviously not get wiped out.
I'm here to learn. And today I've learned that pressing buttons in an elevator is considered work on Shabbat. 😂
1:48 The way he switched from fake German to English made me spit out the water I was drinking
I m so glad i wasnt drinking anything 😂
It's not 'fake German', it's Yiddish!
The 39th floor?!!!🤣
I wonder how many people got the sideways reference to the 39 prohibited forms of work on Shabbat?
Thank you for the tip!
1939
Didn’t think about it at first lol!
That was my tip too
Not me.
Thanks
Omg the german joke was really hysterical. That's real jewish humor.
🤣 Gimbels ! Fell on the floor !
Toda
I can't stop watching this! Just the title alone has me in stitches! I love you, Modi! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
"Gimbels." I'm laughing so hard! You're a genius! I love you! ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember those elevators! Loved this -- brought back a lot of funny memories! 😂
Worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital for 7 yrs. Get so annoyed when you'd get in the Shabbas elevator!
Gimbels in the elevator! hahaha! The Karens did it!
Modi, there's people in the comments explaining why you can't use the elevator, Make them STOP LOL
Thanks Modi, you get it.
I just found you tonight & you had me crying.
I needed that.
Hugs
I am not here for a history lesson Yante... LOL, You made me laugh. thanks
Hilário, entrei num desses elevadores do Hilton de Jerusalém e entendo a piada! 🇧🇷
“Now you have what to complain about.” I’m peeing in my pants.

Karen.
No one is looking for this right now.
@@MD-gx6kv I was! His handle is literally "Jewish halachah". Calling someone a Karen ain't mashiach energy my dude. ✌🏻

#1 is Fire NOT BUILDING a Circuit.
Electricity is fire which is the Prohibition of lightning a fire on the Shabbat!!
If you have to think too hard about it... then you probably shouldn't do it on shabbat... keep it simple.
Modi you remind me of Mel Brooks! Yasher Koach! To you!!! You make me laugh and cry at the same time! I love you thank you.
כל הכבוד מודי !!!

One yenta 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I grew up in Brooklyn, the Coney Island Russian Jewish building…. Many yentas in English and Russian
Was expecting him to say "Berlin, 1939..."
(if you got it, schoyach...)
My grandmother had that in her senior housing in Coney Island!
😂😂love it!! Reminds me of an old clip of w Sid Ceaser written by Mel Brooks!! ❤
Modi I love you. You’re so sweet!
This is an amazing joke. Just so much better if you understand yiddish.
Which joke?
What Yiddish?
YR amazin😂😂😂😂
Thank you!
It’s untranslatable in English but it’s like congratulations, you got it.
Modi, a "Keren" is more like a "KLAFTEH" not a "YENTEH"!
I couldn't agree more. I deal with so many of them at work, it's even to the point where I'll occasionally argue with them in Yiddish to see which ones can understand me.
39 th floors 😆😆😆😅😅😂🤣#Melakhot
Modi when are you in Toronto ❤❤❤❤
We love you!
Yasher koach!
March 31
We have tickets!!!!! A surprise present for my hubby!!!!!! We saw you in Toronto last time and look forward to seeing you again on March 31st!!!
He's booked for 2 nights Queen Elizabeth Theatre ... CNE building
@@lisablack-meddings7246Thank you!
The thumbs! A true learner
He nails everything
Absolutely Hilarious.
You are brilliant!!!

send your comment to Modi.. it will be added to next time he tells this one.. i don't know.. Yoshka hasn't come back because he's taking the stairs..
Hysterical!
Brilliant!!! 😂
Please come to Boston on tour
Subbed 👍🏼 😂
Trust me when I tell you, the rabbis have no problems explaining this law. This is just a comedian, trying to get a laugh.
I have trust issues 🤷🏻♂️
They will explain it alright but will make zero logical sense.
Sheygets here. IRRC, the shabbos elevator is about "You can't light a fire" on shabbos.
modi you're the best

i dont think so because it's still would be you activating something
39 = 39 melachos lol
so good :)
The reason why Yentas are not big fans of comedy is because they have to shut up and listen. It goes against their entire being.
They don't get to kvell about their sons who became doctors and married nice Jewish girls while kvetching about their sons who make Jewish jokes on TH-cam.
Yep : )
❤❤❤
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆🤣🤣
Been in Israel at the King David hotel. One elevator had all the buttons pressed. So who opens the door to their room? N
😄😄😄😄
Anyone who can explain it probably doesn’t use it😂
39th floor😂😂
What does “stoich”
mean?
I think it means good job.
Shkoyach
It means good job, well done
It's short for yasher koach. Look that up as it's hard to translate
@@civiliseddebateyeah is a combination of thank you and good job

Shabbos lifts. Nightmare.
Moshiach energy all around.
What does schtoach mean? @ 1:58
It means great job, well done. Shcoyech
Well done
Shkoyech
It's short for Yshar koach
Which basically means "good for you"
Thank you
He's said: "Shkoyach" - it's a Yiddish corruption of the Hebrew phrase "Yasher Koach" - wishing you strength or colloquially "well done".
Just take the stairs
Oy vey
Wheres your yarmulka???
Hes a jew right ?
Modi is usually better at this stuff. The Hitler jokes are getting too much.
Are you kidding that was flipping hilarious
thanks Karen.

אתה מבלבל את המוח אבל מותר לך כי אתה קומיקאי
What a bunch of nonsense Shabbat elevator. Stay home.
