AM/PM Chilul Shabbos Continues

By Yechiel Sever

AM/PM is still bent on desecrating Shabbos, to the dismay of Shabbos observant Jews across the country. This week Vaadas HaRabbonim Lemaan Kedushas HaShabbos met to discuss the painful fact that the convenience stores remain open on Shabbos.

In addition to the breach in the walls of Shabbos, operating the stores seven days a week has destructive repercussions for other businesses and individuals. Feeling threatened by this unfair competition, some store owners are induced to open on Shabbos as well, though they would prefer Shabbos remain a day of rest. Furthermore, noted Vaadas HaRabbonim members, consumers who once avoided making purchases on Shabbos suddenly find a store open on Shabbos right down the street and are tempted to desecrate Shabbos, Rachmono litzlan.
