Stores in Tel Aviv may open on Shabbos, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, based on the legal principle of “live and let live,” Haaretz reports.
A majority of five justices to two rejected the motion by a merchants’ group against Shabbos business and ratified the Tel Aviv municipal bylaw allowing 164 groceries and kiosks to operate on Shabbos and chagim.. Supreme Court President Miriam Naor read out the ruling as part of her retirement ceremony, and with that, put an end to a legal story that lasted a decade, Haaretz adds.
“The ruling is based on live and let live,” Naor read out. “My ruling does not reflect a ruling of value on the desirable character of the Shabbat. This is not a secular or a religious ruling. This ruling reflects the correct interpretation of the law.”

Zionism trumps halakhah and m’sorah again. R”L. Shoving/tripping Avram into Nimrod’s fire. Sound’s like a mered’s dying groan: “live and let live.”

A Chillul Hashem Berabim! Shame on you!
Supreme Court to Shabbos: Drop dead!
Why don’t the local Rabbanim rise up in protest?
there are many non Jews living in Israel and its assur for them to keep shabbos. And also its been proven unproductive to legislate halacha to non religious Jews.
the Zionism allow for toeiva but don’t allow for Shabbos, for this they want to take yeshiva students to “defend” the land, Ill pass. Zionism=atheism.
