Going Only to Shomer Shabbos Outing Sites
by Yechiel Sever
The tzibbur is heavily favoring vacation sites and attractions that are shomer Shabbos, as has been promoted by the Vaad LeMaan Kedushas HaShabbos BeEretz Yisroel. HaRav Tzvi Odesser, rosh yeshivas Ateres HaTorah and a member of the Vaada, said, "In addition to the tremendous pain from seeing chilul Shabbos and chilul Hashem, patronizing such places brings a chill to the feeling for kedushas Shabbos in children and youth, when they visit sites that trample the kedushas Shabbos, Rachmono litzlan."
He also noted that Maran HaRav Shteinman always says, "We must feel the great pain that is involved in supporting those who destroy Shabbos, and the chilul Hashem that comes from not honoring Shabbos."
In particular, the Hebrew Yated Ne'eman has worked a lot to promote and encourage community support for vacation spots that are shomer Shabbos.
