The Milbat company, serving the handicapped and producing various equipment for their needs, reports progress on the development of a mechanical lift which is not operated by electricity. Thus, one can use it for the handicapped without fear of desecrating the Shabbos.
The cooperative development of this device is being done in the framework of a series of developments with the Mishmeres HaShabbos organization in the aim to created products for the Shomer-Shabbos sick, handicapped and crippled.
Within this framework of activity, experts and rabbonim of Mishmeres HaShabbos offer consultation and direction to the engineers of the Milbat company in the planning and production of a series of products through mechanical operation which will not cause any electrical changes or digital registration. The possibility of creating hearing aids operating mechanically rather than electrically is also being explored.
The enterprise is supported by rabbonim who direct and guide the Mishmeres HaShabbos organization in all of its activities through the objective that one can adapt the progressive digital world to Shabbos observance rather than adapting the Shabbos, as it were, to the ongoing development and progress of digital devices.
